First off.  Love endless space and endless space 2.   

I will try to summarise what I would like to see in the future.

From the perspective of someone who wants to twitch this game.

Take them with a pinch of salt some of them might be good ideas some of them terrible up to you its your game

IDEAS

replays to show a smooth gameplay instead of all the humming arring and reloading of reality.

tweakable overseer ai for human player to dip in and out of. 

 so I can afk and still ahve viewers watch action.  

The tweaks to the ai would be sliders for :   aggresion, building, science, money, influence, sneakiness.

more micro details on the space combat if possible.

See star trek online.   little drones trying to repair stuff.  Little people in spacesuits.  more voice work like in fractured space.

better explosions on ships.   Them all turning to sticks is a bit meh.   See space engineers on how to really blow things up in detail.

better visual ground combat.

along the lines of your promo videos and what total war can do with first person perspective.

even if its the colonise video with huge aircraft, tanks, people marching in to paradise.

more animations instead of stills wherever possible.

better pirates (Pirates are awesome)

All societies have places for the bad guys.  At the moment they are too easy to erradicate.

would love pirates to be better able to escape utter destruction.   

Maybe the ability to move base to furthest possible place or ability to hide in asteroid fields.

would love to see pirates come help fight in their ships.  See star trek online and pirate calling beacons.

They could speak some dialogue and if the battle is too bad they could run away instead of dying.

They could plunder the debris to boost standing to the pirates.   

So they are more likely to come in bigger numbers when called if standing reputation is higher.

twitch integration

ability to easily name heroes or enemies based on who is watching on the twitch channel.

maybe a twitch bot that asks speak friend or foe and the watchers type friend , pirate or foe to be put as friend or enemy in the game.

Then names various characters races in the game accordingly.

maybe the ability to send a care package to help the player based on time watched.  (in single player)  so instead of real money the watcher could send an emergency help package.   Maybe a support beacon during a fight or something?
