[quote who="trims2u" reply="184" id="3692647"] 3. Approval has to be changed to a penalty system. [/quote] This. Approval should provide natural counter to population over-exploiting. Having planet with low approval should have severe consequences, ending with that planet rebelling - which would also enable interesting spy strategies. I am grateful to Stardock for their hard work on balance, but nerfing is not an solution...

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="171" id="3692345"] Before, a city would give you a +1 population. Now it's 10%. I see what you mean though about the 10% stacking up. It really should be more like 0.1 population flat rather than the %. [/quote] Frogboy, this nerfing of everything and killing of potential strategies really bugs me. Natural counter to population exploiting should be approval. It should be really painful to maintain morale of high-population planet and low a

Asked several times before, I would like to have race´s favourite weapon/defense combo in the surveillance screen, when spying on them. Also delivering the rework of minor civilisation in some unique way would be nice [e digicons]|-)[/e]

[quote]Playing with the look and feel [/quote] Frogboy, while you are at this: is there a reason, why we are not getting information on faction´s preferred weapon/defense combo in the espionage (surveillance) screen? That is indeed truly the strategic information every spy would go after, isn´t it?

[quote who="implodinggoat" reply="11" id="3688578"] I think the military Starbases are really a waste. I just can't see myself wasting an administrator on one rather than colonizing a planet or building an economic, mining or cultural starbase.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="3688539"] Then put defenses on your starbases. They shouldn't be unbeatable for free. [/quote] Thanks for answer. I tend to think that turtling with starbases without building tons of ships is a viable and relevant strategy the game should enable. Can we agree on that? Because if yes, then we need: - area-denying effects for (military) starbases - like module that prevents invading worlds in the are of effect (inc

[quote who="imno007" reply="6" id="3688480"] They do get taken out pretty easily. Having a lot of defenses and weaponry on them seems to work to dissuade the AI from attacking them, less than they do starbases with little to no defenses, but once they do attack them the outcome is mostly a foregone conclusion.

Nice AAR, Frogoboy! Just to clarify, how were the starbases debuffed, so they aren´t "quite the power houses they used to be"?

[quote]Minor races are going to be getting friskier in the future (as in, provide opportunities for early game limited wars). [/quote] What should we expect here? It would be nice, it there are peaceful ways of integrating minors, not every time I want to play the war way :) Each minor should have some unique technology or resource that is accessible only by assimilating them peacefully. And of course, their juicy planet, which represents the prize for the other, conquest

[quote who="mrblondini" reply="121" id="3672676"] jirkaesch, I still think we're the first people who'd be told. [/quote] Yeah, I am sure we are. It is actually not the waiting itself, but the lack of communication that sort of disturbs me. It is rather a project management deficiency or community management deficiency. But hey, who cares if the final DLC is great :) Hopefully the Axl Rose rumour is not true :D

Who is bitching, my friend? I guess it is only you :) Of course we can and will wait, if necessary, we are all adult and sane. But from professional point of view, it is also a matter of communication culture. And letting your VIP community stumble in the dark is not very... professional :)
