Mainly i would like to promote my idea of non-mandatory sub-branches to the tech tree. You can research them, but you don't need them to advance to a higher level in the tree, you just improve on a technology you know. Cheaper upgrades for ships/buildings and so forth included but still a better performance for the individual item. Read yourself in more detail.

Hi there. New suggestion



"End of turn" screen to display global infos (good use of waiting time) : /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/12004-end-of-turn-screen-to-broadcast-infos

I forgot to mention a brief suggestion to allow the zoom slider gadget to fade-in on usage/mouse-over and fade-out after delay. In other words, "context visibility", where any zoom action or passing the mouse over it makes it opaque, and it fades to some level of transparency otherwise, after a suitable delay.

Interesting suggestion but needs further debate with a poll to see the community interest before we can submit it for the Dev Team consideration.

Interesting suggestion however this needs to be debated by the community with a poll before I can add for the Dev Team consideration. As I personally feel alot of gamers have mixed opinions about what happens "end of turn".

Thank you for your suggestion however a number of ideas you have have raised been suggested. With regard to Non-mandatory tech tree and from what I can gather from Dev Team they would not consider this. As Tech tree have a relevance to the races technological gains.

Ok no problem, I'll update the topic with a poll, although I'm not sure what would be the question of said poll. I don't really think we are to debate what informations should the devs show us. It certainly strongly depends on what gamedesigners have in mind concerning what is and what is not OK to show the players.



Or maybe should we debate on the usefulness of that screen before opening one topic for each "end of screen" type.





What do you think ?

I am not asking you to debate what Dev team should show the gamer. Its what the gamer wants or not. Personally I dont want it and if it had the option I would disable it. But I want you to get the communities thoughts on it.

Well I do hope that's what I've done with the topic. Thanks !

/#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/12029-no-attack-intercept-colonize-invade-blockade-without-scout



The proposal, which is aimed at making scouting actually relevant, contains the following elements.



1) Remove default vision from all ships, including the ability to scan systems.

2) Add detection to scout modules and empire influence radius.

3) Change scout modules from "+X sight distance" to "X detection distance".

4) Add detection 1 to pirate ships.

5) Render all fleets invisible to a faction unless subject to detection by that faction.

6) Invisible fleets cannot be attacked or intercepted.

7) Unoccupied/enemy systems outside a faction's detection radius may not be blockaded, colonized, or invaded.

/#/endless-space/forum/29-archives/thread/13850-blockade-resisted-by-planetary-defence-and-friendly-fleet-mp



Blockading only occurs if the orbiting enemy fleet has more invasion military power than the combined planetary defence value and the orbiting friendly fleet's military power.

Idea for mixing up the late game stalemates that can occure /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/12035-mixing-up-the-late-game

/#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/12272-suggestion-double-missile-rof-halve-missile-damage



1) Reduce missile damage by 50%.

2) Increase missile rate of fire by 100%.

3) Reduce missile flight time by one round.

4) Modify flak? (see below)



Under the proposed changes, missiles would fire in rounds 1 and 3, and strike their targets in rounds 2 and 4. Now, I'm not 100% sure if this also requires flak to be altered slightly, since I don't know if flak affects missiles in flight turns or just on the impact turn.



A large part of almost any fleet's defence revolves around killing enemy ships to remove sources of damage. The exception to this is missiles, which fire in round 1 but don't kill anything until round 3, leaving all other weapons on both sides to grind down the fleets, and many missiles are wasted because the target is already destroyed. Doubling missile rate of fire reduces the likelihood of wasted missiles, and maintains their flavour as powerful, slow weapons while discarding the "all-or-nothing" feel that they have now.

Two suggestions.

An added benefit to flagging something is to have an option to write notes with the flag or use a couple flag colors to cycle through with different purposes.

Firstly please correct your links as they are broken.



Secondly Colony management and Taxation has been heavily debated and suggested and is currently being considered by Dev Team
