Sounds great then. Good to see you're back at work and not suffering from a flu! Paul.

s like a good idea. Another less think to micromanage. Just a few questions, What about influence structures? What about moral boosting structures? How is moral on planets going to be determined? paul.

hristmas and New Year, paul.

I suspect this whole area of sub 12 PQ planet usage will be fine tuned and played heavily during beta testing before the right balance between fun, challenge and micro management is found. Paul.

ill high population effect morale? With population now be limited by the food or space (as you mentioned) will this now be considered good morale? Paul.

absmiddle"> Seriously though, consider the US. Where do you think most corruption occurs, Hawaii or Washington DC? I'd guess Washington DC. Paul.

ying allied starbase bonus' to your race and vice versa may be doable though. Would make cultural flipping of allies much harder though as your cultural starbase would give them the same bonus! Paul.

ockade may also be fairly straight forward to program for the AI. Paul.

Basic regular game withoput campaigns and scenarios IS sandbox mode. paul.

). Simple and effective. To break the blockade the defender just has to clear 1 tile around the starbase. This suggestion allows for the capture of starbases and simulates supply and blockade. Paul.

One of the changes to GC2 that I'm very happy about is the removal of waste production. In GC1 a planet not producing ships was wasted. In GC2 any spare production will be converted into credit for the treasury. I'd like to make some suggestions to enhance this further. a) efficiency: I'd like to see the efficiency of the conversion change with tech. Add it as a factor which can be chosen as a race bonus or increased through tech research.

e them. If at a later stage you wish to colonise the planet you can send a colony ship to replace the outpost. Outposts can also be attacked by ships but have reasonable defense (easy prey for battleship and over). Paul.

sign. Paul.

Nice to hear some of the nitty gritty stuff. Sounds like you're motoring along very nicely. Hope your dad is fine, Paul.

Thank you. If I lived in the country I'd send you a christmas present in thanks! Paul.

fect on play? If the latter, then that is super cool. Paul.

ictory type. Paul.

uld happily change this, making it not researched at the start and changing the cost or the position in the tech tree thus creating the situation LDiCesare wants. Paul.

hough. Maybe just an personal score table on their own computer. Paul.

Sounds good Brad. should keep everyone happy especially as it can be fine tuned during beta testing. Paul.

s leaving other races with no idea of where their ships are or how many there are. Paul.

One of the greatest additions of AP was the campaign and scenario. I was thinking that it would be really great if GC2 shipped with a series of diverse campaigns, offering players months worth or replayability. One way to achieve this and also to enhance community and anticipation would be to allow everyone on this website to start composing and submitting Campaign suggestions. It could almost be turned into a competition, with the best sugges

flavour to the game in that some race has something difference which other races must now adapt to. May make otehr races suddenly put mor eresearch into misisle defense to compensate for these new missiles. Paul.
