I can't wait for Trade to be implemented. That would add so much longevity to the game. I will prolly spend hours building up the biggest trader fleets with my Super Container Ships and buying low and selling high, those damn pirates better not try to feast on my Trade Fleet, On another note Combat Readiness sounds really cool as well. I really dig the new Char screen tho, it makes Starsector feel even more like M&B in space. I love both games immensely. I can't wait for more campaign features. But no rush Alex, we all want to experience your vision in full non-buggy/rushed glory.
Also would like to see random events ala MoOII(Finding that super Planet, along with the Guardian! That was so awesome, and when those really evil dudes invade) and this forums very own Allegiance mod.
