Vanquished Enemies: No Movie or at least Picture?

I agree.

A still picture...or a movie.

I think that'd be cool too. Do you have any ideas as to what that image or movie might be? Maybe a news report?

Yes, feedback is lacking, not only for vanquished races but also for :
* Planetary conquest, win or loss
* Everything gained/lost via trade : for traded tech we should get the CNN robot describing the stuff, some window if ships/money/stuff is given, etc..

For big events like race extinction a gloomy cutscene would be "necessary", for the rest a GNN report would do.
BTW I'd like to have MORE reports : when an Empire reaches X planets, when important tech are discovered by others, etc...

I agree also i have just started blowing away whole systems with my terror star and and little cut scene or something would be good

Yeah a gloomy movie cutscene would be excellent, but a picture or even just a message would already be an improvement.

The diplomatic screen could do with an "Eliminated" type image for AI players that have been wiped out. When they've disappeared from the galaxy, their picture disappears, which makes it look like you just don't have contact with a race or races.

I agree, I've defeated a couple races and never even knew it untill I checked the diplomacy screen. It's as if the war never really happened. Some kind of news event would be welcomed for wars/defeats/extinctions/pirate attacks.

The pirate attacks is a big one. When I get attacked by a pirate ship the camera goes to the attack, but after it's over the camera goes back to where I was. Sometimes it takes a while for me to look all over the map to find where that attack happened so I can deal with it. Instead of the news event saying that pirates are on the prowl, how bout also telling which sector they were last spoted in.

They could also have a cut scene the first time you do a special attack. Who wouldn't want to see something for mass drivers like they did on Babylon 5, when the Centauri bombed the Narn?

Perhaps each (major) race could even have their own picture (or movie) for defeat... I guess that's pushing it, too
