Hello!


I thought about the whole idea of the dictatorships in the ES2 universe and I always wondered why there is no option to obfuscate the media to bend the population to your will?


Since dictatorships always like to misuse their power it would be quite interesting to see if you could try to create fake news to praise the emperor/ruler. This would of course increase the approval ratings of the star system.


However, if this certain star system has trade routes or connections with systems of other factions it might be very problematic as foreign sources might intervene with propaganda efforts. A failed attempt to hide the truth might increase the chances of a seperatist movement.


It would be quite interesting to see what could happen if the uncovered lies by the great emperor suddenly begin to spread thoughout the systems and causing more harm than good just because of a slipup during trade :)


Revolution?


This would make the game even more dynamic and immersive than it is already.


I hope you this idea will spark interest in you as well.
