Reply to So why expand the expansion? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I know it isn't going to happen, but the thing I think I would most like to see in the expansion would be Terror Stars as people are calling them, or at the very least reworking starship and component sizes to allow more stuff on bigger ships. That is the one thing that never felt right to me about Gal Civ 2 is that on the small end of the spectrum, you have fighters, one man craft, and on the other you have titanic dreadnaughts, many kilometers long.
