one thing i would really like in a open source game is for the 'rule set' to be separate from the game. i.e. when starting a game you select a file containing the rules of the game, the formulas, research trees, everything. that way with one game client you could play vastly different games ranging from a strict stars clone, to something completely different with the same program. i believe that this would help keep the player base from fragmenting and help deal with patching and game version issues. sadly i don't even know if that would be feasible.

It would be *very* interesting, and should be quite feasible, at least on the technical side. Deal

You lost me here. What's the purpose of that?

the ability to transmute one mineral into another would be great even if it was a 2to1 ratio, and your only choice was to turn the most plentiful resource on a planet to the least plentiful.

An interesting turn on Mineral Alchemy. Cool

i would also like it if you could issue more orders to mass drivers, for example target multiple planets specify weather to send a given amount of resources to each planet or attempt to bring them up to a given resource level.

Resources? Don't you mean minerals? Confused

oh about making the chaff offensively viable? you need to ether increase the % of salvageable materials from them(i.e. make it more reasonable to give them real armament.) or add a custom designed hull type, one that say gets a propulsion level*0.1 movement speed increase on the battle map, and perhaps has a cheep or built in weapon that allows it to trigger a warhead on opposing ships. (effectively a missile killing chaff from whom you need beamers to protect your missile ships.)

A fearsome chaff indeed. I don't know what it would make of the overall battle strategy. Sherlock

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
