Hello, I am not much of a modder, but I came up with an idea that I would like to see.  The idea that capitol ships and the ship fleet are paid for from the total economy, i.e. 9%-75%, seems a bit off.  Is it possible to make an economy where you need to have a certain degree of total economy, like you need to have to have 50 in taxes per second to raise to the next level of fleet size?  And is it possible to give each ship within the fleet to have a maintanence fee?  Plus I was wondering if each capitol ship would be able to have a maintanence fee, much higher than the fleet ships?  Once you have your fleet maxed, it shouldnt cost 75% of total resources, which are constantly improving as you conquer more worlds, yet your fleet size stays capped.

One more idea... can it be modded so that as you capture more worlds your fleet size increases, doesnt have to be much, say a few extra points depending on the overall population of the planet?  Plus, when you conquer other worlds owned by your enemies can you get part of thier fleet size?  And to make it so there isnt a fleet cap per say, the cap would be determined by the amount of worlds and population you have within your empire.

I'll probably come up with more ideas, and as I do, I'll post them here.  Please post here or PM me if any of what I have here can be done.

Thanks, deadlyseraph
