Are they Flesh eating, psychos or Insane assimilators?

But IF they were regulated well and they either attacked alliances or did something too lots of people and required a team effort too kill them. Then they’d be awesome

Next off, TECH BRANCHES =D. I believe I discussed this with cyliis, allow tech branches to be put out more, thus developing the players style. For example, one play may be more military while other be more civil, let the branches extend out more and allow the user to go towards this shit. Sub branches off this could be awesome as well. For example one person could be speced out to gain land easily while another could be speced out to be great at dog fighting, this would mean restrictions on tech sharing would occur but it could create a more team oriented and deepened game which focuses on relations to form. Most games seem to require team work but that is only because one person may not be powerful enough, thus doing this, it would allow people to team up and need each other much more for each would be better at a different field.

Alliances, once again. There should be some sort of starting alliance hosted by someone. Maybe a default alliance that would allow all noob players to join and have a default set of rules and will allow new players to develop, make new friends/team mates, and join alliances to better suit them,

Super weapons? Maybe allow like 5 people team up and during this team, each of their economies will be stressed along with their tech research, but after a certain time allow them to create a super weapon. This would allow them to do some massive damage which would be equal to what they suffered during the time, but could allow a better strategic attack. For example, allow 15 people to gather to create an uber one which could take a week to develop, after that time they could use it to weaken all the ships to 20% of their total power in a given area, this could be very well used if the alliance knew that they were able to be attacked and knew where this could be from, but due to the extreme strain it would create and the time, it means they would need to plan and to create a strategy. Another could be a protective field that could be put above the # of planets equal to the # of people participating. This could over time create a field over all planets in the alliance, but taking time and strain this would cause a strategy to be developed with this. The field would increase the power of the defenses and could last for a certain time, thus causing more things to occur. (Example: alliance going to attack, 15 players create the super weapon, the rest sit there and try to put up fields on planets that they expect to be hit on).

Possibly the last: allow development of planets to unfold kind of like civilizations games, this means basically that extreme development of each planet would be created. Meaning you could develop things like roads, electrical generating buildings, research centers, colleges, etc…. Each building would effect something slightly. For example, a improved road system could lead to a defense bonus and a slightly increase profit, etc….

Okay, now I think THIS is the last. At some point, for example a planet reaching a certain pop, allow a crisis to befall. For example, one the population hits 6 billion, have something like cancer wide spread, causing problems and thus requiring much more research. If a person has already overcome this on one planet, then it can be prevented over others. As the population or what ever grows, have more complicated problems come. As we can see on earth here, as the population grows, infections can spread to more people, along with new transportation allows even more widespread things. Take these into account and allow it to take in all these factors =D.

I suggest making legacy worlds more open source, thus allowing more work to be done so my BRILLIANT ideas can be put through =D.

So, that’s how I think I’d work… though adding on those statistics things would be much more accurate.
