Hi all,
first of all, Kudos to Stardock for creating this great game!
What I really miss, though, is having more options for my secret service.
1- Specifically, I would love to be able to blow up those pesky starbases the other races keep spamming in my territory without declaring war every time! I would buy and dismantle them if the AI didn't ask such insane prices. Actually, most of the time they do not trade no matter what the offer. So- where is my under cover sabotage op? It could cost a few hundred bc and have a failure rate dependent on both races' espionage bonus, and there could be a political backlash if the operation was discovered.
2- I also liked the "destabilize" option in GC1. This would be nice to have back (morale drop?). Loyalty would help against this.
3- I would like to stage rebellions on border planets to speed up flipping, or flip when they otherwise wouldn't have.
4- spys could steal ships
5- I would like to frame other civs to create tension between to civs
6- I would like to target specific techs for "acquisition"

I am sure there are other things other people can think of, but in general, I would like to see a much more active role for spies in this game.

opinions?
