I love both, and they have varying advantages. Civ4 was good in that it had a lot more replayability than GalCiv2. But GalCiv2 is great as the ship design is so addictive and the race design is awesome. I loved the modification possible in GalCiv2.
I was just thinking, why can't you bribe for votes? This would have an effect on both UP votes and senate votes.

For example, with drives alone you can make up a variety of names instead of the usual(plasmetic rockets, gravimetric warp drive, exothermic atomic implosion drive...etc.). Make up names that sound cool instead of impulse drive I,II,III...etc! The numerals get boring. And about the drives, yes, there cou

The combat is really kind of simplistic with three attack values and three defense values. My thoughts: make specialized weapons that you could control with a button during combat. However, I understand that it would be hard to make the combat simulator interactive, so perhaps they would be automatically trigger
