What is bad.



1. Speed of ships does not matter at all - since you cant destroy your enemy colony (and he cant destroy yours) and even with powerfull fleet it take at least 4-5 turns to take a system, and even if you will loose a system you could take it back in the same shape so there is no hurry. So all these tech and engines you can use is waste of space on ship.





What can be change.



1. Add option of destroying (bombardment) the colony, mabye with consequencion of planet degradation. There could be 1 turn for 1 planet destruction. In such a situation fast ship to prevent colony destruction will be very important.



Edit: It can be also bombardment that lowers pop and destroy buildings at the system planets each tour. Depending from fleet mele strenth. Population will be lowerd at randomly choose planets.

I believe we will soon be able to raze colony's that we capture.



But i do like the idea of a system becoming degraded as a war go's on.

What is the idea of razeing colony's that we capture. Sorry i am new here - if you will have time could you give me a link to post about that ?

Its so we can destroy colony's that we don't want.



But i don't remember where the link is to the suggestion.

This basically ends up in proposing a superweapon. Those kinds of weapons have been proposed here: /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/11786-environmental-weapons-and-major-consequences

This thread has been linked to the former and is moved to the archives.
