I would like to see ship characteristics called Shield Type and Weapon System Type. Thus you could have weapons that are very effective against one most types of shield but not as effective against another specific type - Think "BORG" Technology advances would give you access to different shield types and weapons types. Also you might not have the technology to build an Ranger ship but you might have the technology to reduce their shield Type A strength by 50%, unless

Missile Jaming Ship This ship reduces the effectiveness of missile ships & missles by 50% when they are in range. Thus adding a bit of strategy to combat actions.

Warships that can fire only a certain number of shots before having to return to base to restock ammo. Ie: Missle Ship with 4 missles. Strong attack, but then strength is reduced to zero after 4 attacks.

Great News I hope that the Mod Editor or the software itself will include limits on the total amount of bonus's that a political party can give. Ie No Parties with +90% whatever or (+50% This and +50% That). Also, can you assign a penalty to political party? Ie create an isolationist party that gets a penalty to their diplomacy ability.

Included in the BonusPak: "The second ship is a new type of ship entirely. It is an Anti-matter missile. Once used, it itself is destroyed. But it causes immense damage to the target it hits as well as to nearby enemy units. However, if intercepted it is destroyed harmlessly. It is a great unit for destroying star bases and entrenched defenders. It requires Dreadnaught technology." ~SDC~

How about having the skins / robot news reporters appear more battered and damaged as you lose sectors and planets. The more you lose the worse they look. As you regain sectors and the tide of war changes their appearance returns back to normal.

Personnally, I am going to wait until 3/26 to play the game, and then if I have really bright ideas for improving the game (ie Civilization Customizations included) I will post it on this forum for Frogboy, Stardock, and the other players to consider for a future update.

Reply to GalCiv Play example: Triumph of evil.. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The feature I really like about GALVIC is the constant updating of the AI. Too often after a game is released it ceases to be a challenage after about a few months when the player finds the perfect strategy, and perhaps the only strategy, to secure victory. GalCiv promises to offer new and harder challanges as the AI is updated to reflect lessons learned its players. This is especially true since each of the AIs do not follow the same strategy in each game.
