    1) space combat:

    imagine being able to build ports in the orbits of the planets to build different types of ships. logically the ships can not go beyond the orbits of the planets and need to be replenished trammite small space stations (from energy). to carry the manufacturers or units of other planets using special units of cargo that may go beyond the orbit of a planet.

    Cargo

    to transport persons, military units

    a colonizing

    [​IMG]

    to colonize empty planets

    bomber

    [​IMG]

    heavy fighter

    [​IMG]

    black Death

    [​IMG]

    battleship

    [​IMG]

    Espionage Probe

    [​IMG]

    locicamente each unit has its own characteristics: for example, a black death will be much slower but also much more powerful than any other unit, is capable of destroying asteroids and moons.


    2) dome shield for protection from spaceships and "threats from the ground"

    3) guns specialize in the defense of spaceships

    4) more factions at least 2 more

    at the end then there would be two things in space combat and more units

    hope in the fifth goal

    Space combat is just plain way to different from combat around planets. It would be like creating a whole new game (so I think they would need at least $500k for that; not something we could reach in time), and the mechanics would be too different from each other, confusing the daylights out of all players who don't want to put a lot of time into figuring everything out.

    The do not want images are an eyesore and not in any way funny. They are really getting annoying.

    Under the display option in your profile you can disable images in posts. Or you can set me as a foe and block all my posts. Or you could use adblock.

    You didn't even say please.

    Oddly enough before i could post that I had to be informed a new post was made with yet another image. No I wont block images because there relevant ones to be posted and I wont block you because I like reading everyones post.

    We can on the other hand avoid bandwagoning with the image posts.

    lol yeah, plus I nominate that pic for being the official uberent forums "do not want" pick.

    By the way, are there spoiler tags on this forum? Would definitely save space.

    Back to the topic at hand, I think that to do spaceships sufficient justice would require a very different UI scheme than one that can be used for normal units and so I don't think its a great idea.

    The transport could be done because you just say go here (To this other planet)

    I can support a form of transportation for planetary movement and some orbital structures. Anything more and it will begin to make the game more complicated than fun.

    you'll need some thing to combat the orbital units to establish a foot hold on occupied planets, but I think the range you propose is excessive i was thinking ransport, plus 1-2 support ships of tech level 2 and 3. with powerful space ships you might make the ground/in atmosphere units redundant in the end game.

    I do not see how such a complex thing. the end units are always running for the space.

    I did not understand a thing, but if they do not implement the spacecraft such as moving troops from one planet to another? with missiles?

    sorry if I do not speak English well are Italian

    It's because spaceships would have to move in 3D. Transport ships don't. You can just click on a planet and have it fly directly to it. No complications. There is no way you can use the same interface to move in 3D space (outer space) as in 2D space (planet "surface").

    I know we can't have 3D combat in deep space, but is there any reason we can't have spaceships fighting around planets? That's how MoO and many other 4X games does it. No fighting in interstellar space, every battle takes place in orbit.

    *edit the title to* What will miss in PA.

    I actually understand that the developer dont really want normal spaceships, else we have the most fights just in space.

    Actually I dont understand why we not just give the space units quite much limitations or handicaps.. well I guess it can't be helped
