First of all, great game, very fun! I'm really glad to see an independent developer releasing a game that makes it into the mainsteam with such an impact.
I've got a few thoughts about the minor races:
In some of the games I've played the minor races become exteeemly powerful, more powerful than any other race, contolling a great deal of planets etc. Yet they don't generate any infulence areas of ownership on the mini map, and can't vote in the UP. Mabey: when they reach a certain population, if the minor race wanst to join the UP,
the UP can imediatley vote on whether to include them. And if denied could revote every so many weeks
(I see oppertunities for great power plays with this.)
I realize that it may take a lot of reworking of the code to incorperate minor races into these things. But it just seems strange when a minor race is the major power in the galaxy, and they just aren't represented that way. Also, I haven't been able to spy on any minor races, and iI cannot selecet any of thier starships or bases (they don't appear in the diplomacy screen),
Thanks for any thoughts,
Ernst
