My notes about MP experince and what can be done to improve it.



1. Option to restrict match to standard factions only.

2. Custom factions balancing. Right now there are numerous ways to create unstoppable forces. Most common one: Sowers affinity, black thumbs ---, merchants +++, blockade breaker, anything else on your choice. Result? On 30 turn you have 3000 strong fleet.

3. Cheater factions (all traits on) bug removed.

4. Improved server connections. Top priority for me

5. Private chat.

6. Make blockade breaker benefitial not only to the player who has the trait, but also to the faction, which is parasited on.

7. Player tracking - his reliability, ping and experience and so on, as suggested on these forums already.

I like these ideas and points.

For future reference, check the rules concerning idea/suggestion posts. The mods prefer one idea/suggestion per thread. As for your points:



1.) A nice idea.

2.) The create-a-faction tool is being worked on, I'm sure. Abilities will be tweaked, and balance will be found, however I'm sure people will still find optimal builds that will give them vast advantages over the standard factions.

3.) This is a big/exploit and has been reported.

4.) They're working on connectivity issues, as seen on the Progress page of the ES website http://endless-space.amplitude-studios.com/Progress

5.) Steam already supplies a handy chat feature.

6.) Not sure what you mean, here.

7.) If already suggested, why suggest it again?

Moved to the archives as a composite suggestion.
