Here's a thought: have constructors be able to set up small, cheap "sensor arrays" that clear FOW in a certain area. Since thery would be basically worthless if they destroyed the constructor like a starbase, have the constructor be able to build multiple ones before having to return to a home planet and resupply.

Also, instead of the tiringly simple system of tech victory that we have now, it would be great if multiple techs were required for victory and if they were scattered on different branches of the tree. Also, maybe have to build some sort of improvement or starbase module to win the victory, sort of like space race victory in Civ 4.

And here's something that would really be insane............

Prehaps turns should be at least 1 day in game time.

Errr no. What game you playing? Turns are 1 week. 1 Jan - 8 Jan - 15 Jan and 22 Jan. Weeks my friend, not days.

Ya'll realize that GC3 is at best no less than 2 years away right? I doubt that GC3 even registers a thought at SD at the moment. In fact i would not be at all surprised if we saw a SINS sequel before GC3. Financially at least, it was the better performer of the two.

But as to the OP, what would i like to see in GC3?

The Metaverse.

Considering that Entrenchment is still technically in beta, albeit due out soon, and that there are an additional two micro-expansions due for Sins after that, I doubt that Sins 2 will be out before GC3.

Ahhh, Cardinals lost the Superbowl, was hoping they would win, even though I am more of a Pittsburgh fan, but anyway! Game time imho should be brought back to 1 month/turn... although it really doesn't matter that much, and makes no difference to the game experience.

I'm a late bloomer, MV-wise, and although I still don't exactly like what caring about my score has done to my playing, I'd have to agree with Neilo here. But then I'm already starting to fret about how much "damage" the multiplayer work on the Elemental project will do to the RTM game.

Neilo, if you're really serious about that being important to you for GC3, shouldn't you be suffering the slings and arrows of swords and sorcery as a beta tester for Elemental? The infrastructure there is supposed to provide the starting point for GC23 when it becomes an active project.

Ladies and gentlemen, Galactic Civilizations 23.

Great Idea scout.

And it looks like all of our spelling is deteriorating as we speak!

LOL!!!

Perhaps i should. I have intentions on purchasing the game whe it's out so i may look into the beta.

TBQH i was unaware they had progresses to the Beta stage.

I'll look it up.

Another idea that I have touched on in a few other postis but will describe in full detail here: instead of spore ships, constructors, and (hopefully!) mine-layers being destroyed every time they do their thing, have a "supplies" indicator that desreases by a set amount every time you build/destroy something. Depending on what you were doing, the decrease would be different. Obviously, if what you are trying to build takes more supplies than you have, you would be unable to build it.

To refill supplies, you would need to orbit a frindly planet and bee out of action for a turn or two. Maybe have "supply shuips" that can do this on their own, and techs or modules that increase the max capacity...

Sounds good to me!
