Here's one that keeps comming up when I play... is it possible to remove the race logo from all the ships when they are in a fleet?  Seems like things get all jumbled when I zoom in during a huge fleet vs fleet battle (100 ships plus per side) and all I see is the logo of my ships, unless I zoom in real close.  Can it be made so only the flagship has the race symbol hovering over it?  I know what ships are mine, they are my color when zoomed out, but I see more logo's than my own ships when I try to zoom in.


    One other thing...why is it that pirates are only TEC?  I would think there would be rebels and pirates of all of the factions, not just the TEC. It would add to the danger of facing pirates if they had different abilities as a group, ack...think of it, a fleet of mixed race ships, all hell-bent on killing whomever holds the highest bounty at the time.
    And while I'm on the topic of pirates, why is it that the bounty placing screen is as bad as a ebay bidding screen?  If you do not watch the screen the whole time the skull and crossbones are flashing you will get a higher amount added, especially true if going against hard or unfair opponents.  And they always seem to add just as the pirates are going to raid, only way I've found to counter this is to add every few seconds until the attacks start.  Got to be a better way.

    Planets...can a new research be added where bunkers are added to protect the population, kind of like the planet shields, but available earlier in the research tree?  I'm sure they would have a lesser effect of saving population, say 60% effectivness?  And what about planet based defenses?  Seems there should be a tech where you can add planetary cannons, like the ion cannons in star wars, to protect the planet against ships who have decimated the orbital defenses, kind of like a last line of defense?


Will add more ideas as they come to me...
