I'd still like to see some sort of instantanious travel..... even if we have to have 2 sorts of ship types. for instance, using a Dune inspired method. you'd have the Space-Folding ships, and the standard ships. The SF's are huge and carry the normal ships within them, and then transport them to the destination......... Granted they would need to be hugely expensive, or atleast expensive compared with the mass they can carry withi

well, i think there is going to be a scenario setup thing like in AP. so I assume if you want to do that, then you'll likely need to create a scenario for it.

perhaps some sort of Stellaconverter? it could change the land mass of the planet, which would destroy some of the structures/population centers, and possibly increase the usability of the planet, but possibly decrease it. It would give it an interresteing edge to planetary bombardment. you could go after a P16, and get a P10, or you could get like a P20...

Another idea, might be to have stars which have a finit life time. that you have either re-ignite. or in the case of a weapon extinguish...... perhaps this could damage/destroy closely orbiting planets and perhaps shift the pq of other planets in the system, either good or badly...... it would add a bit more strategy to the game, because you'd need to make sure your enemies cant get near the star. as well as the fact that more than 1 empire can inha

Well, one way in which this could be possible, that im not sure if anyone here has thought of, (Unless they've read the saga of the seven suns) What about Gas Giants? most of them are made of Hydrogen/Helium, which is basically the fuel in which star's need. Though the only way i can think to implement this. is to have Gas giants that have moons, and those Moons then become like mini planets. or perhaps it could raise the PQ of all Ice planets in t

if you make lots of good relevent comments/suggestions which are useful, and give plenty of feed-back then you might get your rank upgraded for giving them support. just need to make sure its all relevent and helps them.

it would be good if there were a true sence of terraforming. so when you get to a high level, you can actually turn gas giants etc into usable planets, i.e a random usabiltity of like 1-20 etc

Well, I agree with the others posting so far, and I couldnt reakky say it better I Beta tested the first one (I think I was one of the first 100 people to order it, cant remember for sure but it was something like that) so I for one Adore the way stardock develope games. you cant really get a much better developer. Im not quite sure what you mean by appeasing beta

I think your missunderstanding the purpose of the current beta build lads, this is just to make sure that the game is stable and that most if not all the code/hardware conflicts are ironed out. The later builds in the coming months will handle the interface and the gameplay parts of the game.

only if they pay like the rest of us who pre-ordered. There arent any free beta's, if you pay, you get to test the game, put in your 2 cents as well as get the finished game at the end of the testing phase.
