Another suggestion about diplomacy: allow us to expend diplomatic capital on things such as:
- the diplomatic dispute events. Give us an option where we can smooth things out between both parties who each want you to cut ties with the other.
- wars. Convince/coerce the stronger belligerent into ...

If you explore an anomaly before the Herald contacts you, he is then upset about it. Whereas he's not upset about any space harpy killed before contact. It happened that, by the mid-late game, I was able to research Hyperspace Anomalies in a single turn and I had my main fleet just one turn away ...

Is this code used? It seems to imply heavy weapons have a 1.5 multiplier to damage, but this doesn't seem to be represented in the tech descriptions (e.g. on the tech tree or the ship builder, the standard weapon ranges are used).
The way I'd try to test if it's used would be to change the ...

How about a back picture of Heiropolin, so he can stop sending Yunki to act in his stead on the diplomacy screens? Poor guy needs to stop being so self-conscious about his butt.

The ability to save a captured foreign ship design so that you can apply it to another captured ship would be very handy. Upgrading captured ships is always kind of chore. Especially when you find out that in one of them you forgot to upgrade the armor so you have to undo to redo the refitting...

1) harpy reinforcements were underway when the system was cleared and claimed;
I've had this happen to me. The harpy raid message then appears.

This is not considering the Yorals somehow acquired Harpy repellent tech.
Yeah, this can happen.

I had the nasty surprise sometimes when sending scout ...

Description for primary beams says "... these particles could potentially cases catastrophic damage..."; should be cause.

You can end up with "ghost ships" (ships that are awaiting refits) forever if you lose control of the planet on which their refit projects are "stored". For example, annex a neutral colony of another race, then queue on that planet some refits for ships, then, to demonstrate, empty the queue and do ...

I kinda funny thing I found (but not important enough to fix with prio) is that captured Pirate bases cannot be refit if the Marauders have been annexed.
I believe I could do that if the base was captured via boarding though
I've never managed to annex a Marauder (the option never came, I'm not ...

As a low-hanging fruit, there's a number of typos and other text errors that were reported that could be addressed, as well as some bugs that have already been fixed in the report thread and just await to get officially fixed in the base game.

You could put a Galactic News Network overlay to report on the Whatever/Those Guys' war. ;)


Speaking of battles, something I'd like to see in this kind of game would be mock battles, I mean, military exercises. You've got an ally, you have an allied fleet in the same system as your own fleet, you ...

The morale and diplomatic hits, especially when you have non-enslavable/harmonizable populations, is why I tend not to use this game mechanic when I get the Gremak or the Tinkers. (I like letting the choice of empire random when I start a game, to avoid always falling back on the same few tricks ...

The values I assigned to each mount type were:
Small: 1
Busbar: 1
Missile: 2
Medium: 3
Torpedo: 4
Fighter Bay: 4
Large: 5
Siege: 8
System: 10
Built-In (of any kind): 10
I'd have given more points to busbar since they basically free up a system slot. At least once you get zero-point ...

If you manage to peacefully annex the Tinkers (ally them, and be bigger than them for long enough that they give up), there's a problem in that the Tinkers you get become disconnected. Logically, they should remain connected: Dzibix is now on your side. You also get to inherit their harmonized alien ...

Yes. You get a different bonus for each type of free slave, I don't consider this as a bug though perhaps the race could be placed in the text to make this clearer.
