Just a small "optical/atmospherical" suggestion. Not gameplay related.





I think it would be nice, if there was somekind of "planet city view". Basically showing the development level of each planet's capital city. (something like this was available in the old game "Pax Imperia", I think). Bascially there could be 3 levels of the specific city. Level 1 (outpost): shows some basic buildings. Level 2 (early colony): shows a small town/city. Level 3 (late colony): shows a large futuristic city [maybe also showing the specific special buildings we built on that planet). Also there could be a planetary city view after an invasion, basically showing the same 3 city levels but lying in ruins.

From the system screen you should be able to see city lights on planets, the number corresponding with the local population.



Planets filled to capacity will also have orbiting constructs.

I know, but IMO a real city view would be a nice additon, really showing what your colonists achieved.

Well that's a little small? surly what your colonists have done would be better achieved on the meta scale with a developed system rather then a developed city.

I disagree... this idea take a lot of time and the ground battles are too much important for a game like this...

i ll agree with spartaco. I like the current planet view, maybe in the future a planet view will be nice but yes right now i would like to see proper ground combat and perhaps bit of espionage

That's basically a request for LOTS more artwork without any real gameplay relevance. Basically you'd click on the planet and then see a city that is also dependent on the planet's pop and maybe even system improvements? Lots of work.

Maybe for when the artists are idle (if they ever get to be idle XD). In my opinion a "nice to have", but definitely not necessary thing.



Edited the title.
