It's been a long while since I've played (which was back when I modded). I'm really loving how this game has grown! Nice work, Alex.
It's also great that you can make the game less difficult for more casual players like myself through the settings file.
Aside from the OP's feedback, which is great, I'd love to see these things:
- It would be nice if you could instantly see on the map where your own colonies are and the ability to rename the system.
- And why stop there: Perhaps have a button on the constellations map that toggles icons next to each star, indicating what faction it belongs to.
- A way to take over planets/bases by force. If some faction keeps bothering me, I'd like to be able to put them under new management.
- A slider when creating a new game, to manipulate the amount of storms in hyperspace.
This might be a personal beef, I dunno how other people deal with this:
- An easier way to deal with Luddic terrorist attacks/find their bases. I've not played that long yet, but so far it appears to me that pirate bases are generally near the colony that they harass. And your own fleets can usually easily dispatch trespassers, so they're not that much of a bother.
Not so much the case with those crazies. The base they're launching from can pretty much be anywhere, and as far as I know, they perform sneak attacks?
