Endless Encyclopedia

nice

Yeah, I would very much like a database to just sift through with all the information about... just about everything haha

Great idea. One i'd love to see come to fruition.

Very much like this idea! The one other thing I'd like to see included in an encyclopedia is information on the different planet types (not just the unique planets). It could list the basic FIDSI output of each type of planet (before anomalies are applied), as well as which planet types are more suited to the different factions (i.e. what they can colonize at the start of a game).

If you want to write in further lore/details, there could be text describing why these planet types are suited/ill-suited for colonization, and why/how a spacefaring race might go about settling on these planets.

This is certainly an excellent idea, one of my favorite things in RPGs (and other genres) is the existence of that glossary where to see all the descriptions of creatures, locations, characters (I'm thinking right now about the complete glossary of The Witcher 3 or Pillars of Eternity) there have literally been times when I've spent more time enjoying reading the different entries than playing the game itself.
To be able to access something similar with all the lore of the major factions, ships, heroes, planets, minor factions... and see the awesome art of this game accompanying each entry, would be something fabulous. There's the Endless Space wiki, but if it's in the game is always much better and more enjoyable than need to go elsewhere to find that info.

Even though I like your idea, I think that due to the characteristics of this game (although a game can last for quite some time) it would be more interesting to be able to access this database from the main menu for example, maybe each entry would unlocked when you found it in your diferent games, but once unlocked  you wouldn't need to unlocked it again in different games.

Good idea.

Endless Encyclopedia achievment annyone?

And you must play all quest manny times (cause the diferent paths), to unlock all pages of the encyclopedia.

The other important gap an in-game encyclopedia would fill would be keeping spoilers off the ES2 wiki, in the form of unique heroes, population types, storylines and whatever else. I like the wiki showing a basic idea of what and who is available, and there being more to find within the game. Though I'm sure some people disagree, which is obviously fine.

You could also throw in more info on different races by having unlock requirements ie: complete 10 faction quests (main or sub quests), win multiple victory types with a specific faction, assimilate and gain racial bonuses for main and minor races. There's a lot of potential for this.

Also an in-game art gallery of every piece of stationary art you've seen would be incredible.

tolle idee

So an updated wiki?

@Darkvramp
No, a form of in-game wiki that updates as you encounter things during your playthrough.

To OP:
Great idea, upvoted and followed. If there was also a form of a chronicle like in Spore, it would be heaven.

Yes, the background is what draws many to delve into these games, albeit their gameplay scenerios create new stories of first contact, domination, and falls from grace. 

The flavors of Factions, and the voice of their individuals are undeniably unique and enticing. 

Information on all this and more is currently split between 4 wikis and are often terrbily out of date. 

Im CERTANTLY all for a unified Endless Encyclopedia (i like the name!). I like they way AMP has structured the ES2 wiki, with comics, additional art, heroes... It must be done with overall history articles and factions, people, and such from each of the games.

Great idea!

What I miss most from the wiki, in fact, are in-depth explanations of the game rules and mechanics. An example that comes to mind is how battle tactics etc. determine the paths followed by flotillas during battle.

we stayed tune,  one year ago now.

This Idea got ~23 000 000 G2G Points over night! What happened?!
