Patent licensing should also be a mechanic. Let another side use your patent for a certain amount of time for money or resources. Make other companies existing an advantage for yourself.
Is this subforum still used?
As of the 4/25 patch, the description boxes for buildings now stack as 2x3 instead of 3x2 (columns x rows) as they did before. This causes them to overlap the bottom of the UI for the optimization center, offworld market, and the hacker array, making it hard to click on the anything related to electronics.
There are a number of issues with the UI that can make it harder to tell what is going on and what to do about it.

While it is nice having upgrades to yourself, it would be better if you could profit from them. Instead of just being an acquisition system that eventually runs out of steam and gets sold, why not add options to contract out services? Further depth would also be good. The point is that it should remain relevan
The relative value of the advanced buildings is uneven. There needs to be some re-balancing/systemic reworks to bring these more in line. The Offworld Market is insanely valuable, and in many cases determines who wins and who loses. In general, a player with 2 will beat a player with 1, who will in turn beat a player with none. This includes the influence of sabotage and other black market attacks, which in general end up costing the attacker more in the long run (both in raw c
