Hello all.



I bought this game from steam just yesterday, and I have already clocked up...a significant number of hours play time. Im loving this. It harkens back to the good old days of

4x games such as Masters of Orion and Masters of Magic. My two favorite games of all time. The music is chilled, the interface is slick, smooth and really easy to use, the graphics

are crisp, clean and very nice textures are used throughout. It is hard to find fault with this game...and its only in Alpha! I was shocked to say the least.



However, as good as it is, I want to make a few suggestions that I think we should see in the game. Dont...shout. I just think these things would make the game all the more interesting:



1. Space Stations: Yeah, I think that this would be a good addition. Ive not been playing too long, so if they are in there, I havent gotten to them yet. But different kinds of stations would be

good as well. Such as research, civilian and military stations.



2. More Ship Classes: There is a good mix already, but, its not a huge selection of ships. Things like Carriers would be a great addition. Titans could be a step up from dreadnaughts and

be the ultimate ships in the game that require ALL resources to construct.



3. Bigger Maps: I know the maps are already HUGE! But, we are seeing games now where you can have thousands of star systems.



4. Race Customization: Being able to make a custom race would be good too. Being able to tailor a race to a specific play style is a big part of 4x in recent years.





All in all though, this game is SWAG!!



Ahem...that is all.

This thread will probably get either closed or moved to the suggestions forum, but I suggest you check out the suggestions forum either way, they have some pretty awesome in depth discussions about what you're suggesting on your list, check out the deep space exploration I know I talked a bit about some options for space stations that might be worth a look, and there's a whole lot more on there as well. But for it to get noticed definitely check things out over there.



For more ship classes look at the squadrons discussion where people are talking about fighters/bombers and whatnot and I know the topic of a carrier was discussed there as well. PM me if you want to and I might be able to find you some links.

To 1: That has been suggested multiple times.

To 2: There are several different suggestions about this. Please look up /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/13096-updated-summary-of-suggestions-ideas before suggesting things.

To 3: I believe that there is a mod (galaxy generator in the mod forum) or workaround (can't find it at the moment) that allows you altering the number of systems in a game.

Correct. Redundant suggestions, thread closed.
