Why?

In a single-player game, why do you feel the different playable factions need to be equally balanced?

well, in the diplomacy screen the ship counter for factions differs from the fleet ship counter on the interface. it seems to detect only ships that have weapons. so there's some logic there separating ships by combat ability Separating ships according to whether or not they have weapons is straigh...

The difficulty here is that since units are customizable, they are not always clearly typed and so it may not be straightforward to categorize them. But it's worth thinking about. Wouldn't the same concept used in the Tactical map make sense?: double clicking selects all the ships in a fleet that h...

did a quick search but i might have missed it if this has been suggested before. a couple select all buttons would be nice. like select all troopships, select all combat ships. when i'm warring i like to run around with a large cohort of troopships and combat ships. i'd like to easily be able to se...

The idea is that because it takes longer and provides more incremental benefits, early stages of terraforming can be available earlier in the game. Each race has an ideal planet type, and the incremental terraforming stages step you towards that ideal. Have a race's ideal be one of the intermediate ...

Sounds great. I was hoping there'd be a new race along the same lines, focusing on bio-tech. As to how they look, I hope they are drawn very alien. Let your imagination go crazy and a bit darker. I was thinking 'big worm things' with triangular lamprey maws, with no eyes but with unknown sensory or...

A new aquatic bio-engineering faction? Do they have squishy ships that grow bigger as they age? The ships are mechanical, but some of the systems are bioengineered, and the race itself is bioengineered. They are terraforming specialists, their ideal target being the Coral World. What details can yo...

The theme for the next DLC is already pretty set: it's the Gardeners (and aquatic bio-engineering faction) and a terraforming revamp. We just need to formalize the plans for actually getting it done. Are you thinking race specific art a la Seven Kingdoms, statistics screen or something else? On the ...

I'm more concerned about minor faction stations being too hard for the player to overcome, especially early in the game. Marauder bases are already pretty hard targets as it is. For the player, static defenses are always going to be a niche option, no matter how good you make them. They're only usef...

If you're running in windowed mode, you should be able to resize the window.

If you run the game in windowed mode instead of fullscreen mode (in the Options menu uncheck "Fullscreen Mode"), then utilities like Magnifier should work.

Most negative population morale modifiers caused by a one-time event (including slaving) have a limited duration, after which they expire.

You can put the graphs under the diplomacy screen, they shouldn't bother anybody there too much ? They are there to help you evaluate who to ally with and who to compete with - diplomacy is all about the numbers game, so it's a logical place for the graphs. That's where it currently is. ss_stats_po...
