    Are there any plans to have something similar to what Cavedog Entertainment did with their Galactic War? I know PA's Galatic War is single player, but I think it would be neat if the opposing factions (AI) were to try and take back star systems that were either lost or not yet conquered. Each star system being contested (fought on) sequentially of course like it currently is now. I think it would be neat if something like that were also implemented in the multiplayer aspect of PA as well.

    I am not sure if this or something similar has been brought up before, but I thought I would throw this out there all the same and ask. Thanks for reading!

    That is one of the options on the table for Multiplayer type GW, at teh end of the day The Single Player(+Co-op???), Multiplayer and Clan Galactic Wars all have different needs while still using the same underlying principle.

    The SP GW is easy to do turn based because it's only got the one player involved, but the MP GW can't run that way because you could have hundreds of players doing things all at the same time, so you might need to do something like Only allow for combat along specific "lanes" for a arbitrary period of time and just tally up the wins to see who won overall. The Clan GW could actually be rather interesting, imagine 10 players per side....playing in real time?

    As you can start to see each has potentially very unique requirements so Uber is focusing on them one at a time to make sure things work out instead of getting lost trying to do all 3 at once.
