I'm not sure how you mean --- if you're suggesting different research paths that a race can choose at the expense of others, granting them certain abilities while denying them other abilities... what's the difference?

Kind of . . .

Basically, you can use the cost of the research as a huge factor, one that will effectively restrain a race from certain paths, which will still allow a lot of race design options and such, without overwhelming with liberty or artificially restraining the player.

But it's not important at the moment. What is important I think is to get an working game up.

Regarding heroes, I think it could definitely work. Before worrying about heroes though I'd like to see every ship (or ship captain or crew) given a specific experience rating. While reading about Supernova the other day, I found that you could hire specific spies with abilities that would grow throughout the game. How about being able to assign specific ship captains with different abilities? One could be a charismatic general and as such would bring a small (5 or 10%) increase in the strength of all ships merged with his ship. Another would be an exceptional tactician that would bring a big (50, 75%) increase in a single ship's strength.

But yes, I think the important thing is that we get a running clone, ASAP. Once the first is done we can add more features . . .

Yeah, bread too.
