I can get them to defect pretty easily with 2 upgraded ISBs.

I forgot to mention it in my post, but I thought influence bonuses should be given for each record. I can picture the fastest ship now, a huge hull with 20 hyperwarp engines and nothing else. I think it would be really cool. Take a snapshot and put it in the record books. Fastest Ship: The Human ship, "Speed Demon", coming in at 40 parsecs/week. The largest cruise ship ever built was in the news recently, it would also be cool to build luxury cruise ships in galciv2, and

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but it would bring a little more life to the game, IMO. GC2 needs a Guiness Book Of Galactic Records: First Medium size ship built, Large, Huge, etc. Fastest ship. Biggest freighter, etc. Best planet. I know some of this is already available, but it would be nice to see it showcased a little more. Good idea or not?

What fun is that? I want the coolest guns for my huge ships.

Does anyone else think it takes forever to get anywhere technologically? I htink there are just too many techs and they take too long to research.

Not sure if this is easy, but it would be cool. The badder your ship looks, the lower the morale of hostile ships. Maybe the bigger the hull and more structural units you have compared to the enemy ship could yield a + or - morale modifier value for that ship. So if your ship is tiny and theirs is large then that would increase their mora
