I've been thinking that in addition to system improvements there could also be empire-wide projects that boost , , etc. and have an upkeep cost.



For example you could start an intelligence program that would give you a view of enemy systems. It could have a slider to determine how much it would cost in direct relation to how beneficial it is.



You could perhaps give tax-breaks to businesses to improve or support a science program to improve .



All in all I think it would add an interesting twist to empire managment.



Let me know what you think!
