i think the best would be some figthers for larger ships, like they were in Master of Orion 2

i think such things are missed inthe game........

I'd add Reach for the Stars and Stars! to that list.

Each game has it's own strengths. Trying to include them all in one game is likely to produce an unplayable mismash (this might help explain MOO3).

Space Empires has warp points which link sectors allowing for choke points, as well as a variety of things in these sectors like nebula and black holes which can affect ships. While GalCiv2 has gone for the open space model, I'd like to see open space made more interesting so that it's less A to B.

I agree on carriers.

I agree to the point of the carriers... they are a most wanted thing for a big fleet.in Moo 3 I often won my fights with em and theyre my favour ships but ther is something I wanted to say about. Gal Civ II... the gal civ II is very simular to the Moo 3 only the graphics are very good and the managing are much better.otherwise the game is quite good

Carriers !!!

More jewelry and hulls always sound great. Carriers sound great.

But what I'd really like to see is an option box for turn based battles, similar to the ones in Moo2, where you could target ship components, minus the huge attackers advantage.

I liked the economic and building system the original MOO used. Everything was done with slider bars. None of this Civ clone crap were you only build one building at a time, and can only have one of each type of building. I hate Civ because everyone copied its worst feature, and it's a feature that's there because it came from a boardgame. Lame.

I didnt like MOO3 at all. It was just way too bureacratic to me. The tech tree is interesting, but I prefer to have more control over what I am researching. And the ship building is too odd for me. I ignored it for the longest time until I decided try building a ship. And only then did I find out there there were like 15 different types of beams for a beam cannon that I had to choose.
The alien races and backstories for the games are really interesting though. I liked how certain races would always be rivals, or allies.

I really like the ship building system in SEV. It is easier to compare weapons, and to me atleast, it was easier to understand. But the AI is lacking immensely (I am using path v135). One of my frigates managed to annhilate three enemy Light Cruisers while barely sustaining damage, and my enemy seems to be frought with ordnance and technology problems. If anyone knows of a patch that can make the AI stronger please send me the link.

I have never played galciv.
