Hi, couple features I'd like to request:
-Mouse wheel could change the "resolution" you're looking at the galaxy.
-Change destination to something else? It took me a while before it meant "travel to destination"
-The mouse doesn't continue scrolling if it hits the HUD

That's all for now.

More:
-have right click be reserved for selecting destination? It's hard to select a destination and then suddenly you select a planet and the fleet accidentally goes there.
-option to toggle the HUD on/off
-use arrow keys to move map

Since Cimanyd doesn't understand my earlier request...
I mean that if you use the destination button I can't use left click on a planet to un-select a target. It selects the new planet as a destination.

Also the chart view from older Anacreon.

Prerequisite items for production of items.
Like hexacarbide and/or chromium for the production of jumpdrive parts.

A short tutorial is going to be a must. I believe I have killed any hope for my game by attacking a high tech planet with all of my troops at once, before I realized my home planet is NOT producing new troop carrier ships.

And along those lines, is there a way to start your instance over from scratch? My only hope is that something good unlocks when the 'hypermetropolis' finishes being built (2 days? wow...)

My "hypermetropolis" finally finished building, but nothing else changed. My homeworld lacks chronimium and I think that means I cannot build more jumpdrives, which in turn means I cannot build any more troop carrier ships, which means I cannot conquer any new worlds. Since I haven't conquered any worlds in the first place, I'm dead in the water.

NEED RESET BUTTON :oops:

Sorry about that. I agree on the tutorial. I also think the game balance is way off right now. Sometime this week (I hope) I will add some code for people to abdicate their empire and start again with a new capital.

Meanwhile, I'm going to see if I can give all current players more ships and troops--you're not the only one who lost all their attackers.

Can we have more than one planet per star? >:D
Also, will we have trac for Anacreon?

Have planets produce troops faster, digdug had a 25% efficiency planet with pop 9 that is only making 1(!) troop per watch. Pretty slow... :/ (in an hour he has 60 troops, so o.O) Is the game supposed to be that slow?

Also can we have invading fleets attack anyways? Maybe a "press on" button in case a fleet doesn't want to attack a planet?

I would like to request Zoom function with a mouse scroll wheel, Tabs or scrolling for building lists, and that buildings will open an information window when clicked on instead of diverting to the production tab.

I would appreciate it if we could build a barracks building (like Anacreon2 ) which will allow a planet to slowly produce troops of your level without designating the planet as a "Only produce troops" planet (you should give the player the option of being inefficient, like in Anacreon2) I want a wait before automatically making a trade route menu where you can select exactly what you want to send and how much % of it and Then click [OK] instead of automatically sending everything (if there is a demand) as soon as a trade route is set up.
I also want adjustable production percentages on planets (yes, like Anacreon2) so that if I want, I can bild up stockpiles of certain resources/ships etc.

I have a few ideas for more content, but that can wait.

several planets in a system would be really interesting!

Is there a way to remove structures from planets ? (or at least adjust the productivity of a planet structures to maximize what the planet is supposed to produce for a trade route)

I need the ability to cancel trade routes and to establish them from the capital.
