Game feature polls

I would like to see Star Dock occasionally poll the forum on some of the more frequently mentioned features and suggestions. I know they are reading the forum but we don't get a lot of feed back on what ideas they have noticed and not, beyond a possible of-hand comment in a post or on the dev stream.

It doesn't mean that the outcome would have any effect on plans for the game but it would give us and them some idea of the support that some of the ideas have among players.

Maybe worth doing, maybe not, obviously all our ideas can't be adopted and it would be nice to know that those that are (if any) are the most popular.

And I would like to take this opportunity to remind our dear Stardock readers that we still need more customization of custom races and ESPECIALLY the ability to paint them.

Strangely yet this idea was never implemented. Now im in a difficult situation when I intend to create nearly a hundred races for my bigass allstarz game and I eventually run out of color schemes for them so many will have to look alike with me unable to easily distinguish them from one nother. Plus there are color presets that I do not like at all. Plus some of my races have so unique colors that neither preset matches it. For example Ultramarines blue color with gold trim. How can I make my Ultramarines? I know not. May seem funny to read that but game really misses a glance here. This issue NEEDS to be adressed.

Features I would like to see. 

1. Adaptive ai

2. Modable ai

3. Combined research.

4. More techs with abilitiesinstead of stats. I

5. Eaier way to download,  and Install mods.

6. Easier modding capability.

7. Species instead of races. 

8. Optional paths to techs.

9. Tech choices exclude other tech choices.

1Wouldn't mind a tech stealer race. 

11.Wouldn't mind a race that doesn't use currency. 

12. A better scenarioeditor than before.

13. More custom picts. 

14. In game heavy metal music

15. I like the ability through customisation to make a custom tech tree from all the available techs. The will need to be classified to mske this simpler.

16. More super abilities through customisation than what's in the game.

17. In the editor that came with the game when I tried to edit the yor tech tree allit would do is let me minus techs not add techs. At minimum you needed somethIng like a list of all the generic techs to add to tje tree you wanted to modify.

18. If we have to ability to have a hundred and thirty factions at least that many picts.

19. A way to upload,  and download alian races,  and modded tech trees. Best way to describe this its similarbto how spore done things. You could do this for working mods. If mods don't work get rid of them. Its reasonable to require mods to work if your going to download them. Ships-races-tech trees your previous way didn't work well. You shouldn't have us figure where to install them. You would have a method to do this.

20. Astro biology goes so many directions on how the races can be made up, and even look the same it would be nice to have a different description for each race. 

21. Different kind of starting systems for each race. Ie extreme planet- different planet classes-different planetakeup in each system.

22. More balanced system whichdoesn't have anything to do with alike than last time.

23. More custom tech tree options. In customisation all the trees could be different than the stock races. Also just because races are gonedoesn't mean you couldn't customise the old races. I probably woukd make the torisns.

24. The jagged knife needs to be able to msnage their empire better.

25. Great people

26. Abilities when ships level up.

27. A type of cold war when alians are hostile towards each other they get counter modules against each other asthey level up.

28. Lend lease they would loan you ships to help you fight someone whre If they survive when the war is over they get them back.
