Two further ideas: Scrap Terror Stars. Honestly, does anyone use them in any games other than the campaigns?

I know realism is not one of the game's aims, but it does seem a bit weird that these battles are virtually instantaneous. Having invasions last several weeks would increase the complexity of the game but would make a conquest victory more challenging, especially if it meant that both attacker and defender could send in reinforc
