Someone mentioned crew as a resource. How about Admirals with certain abilities or bonuses for Fleets. I know that is covered in Fleet training in SE4. If you wanted to get really techinical, you could even have special captains or give them Ratings/bonuses as well. No good captains...no good crew...bad ship...

No hard coding! Let us mod EVERYTHING!!

Sorry, just frustrated trying to create a mod where it seems like every idea I try won't work because something is HC. Gah!

Hotkeys.

All I want is hotkeys, for everything.

I want to be able to play the game without ever touching the mouse. The way it worked in Alpha Centauri was good.

Why do some people only use the mouse and other's only use the keyboard????

Yeah, it just confuses me why some people would cut out half the controls.

I always dreamt of inhabitable stars. It could be a special trait, something like Plasma Beings. Of couse it (star colonies/HW) would have great capacity, same as ringworld, and it would be impossible for physical races to capture the star.

Because when you have a good hotkey system, the mouse is a burden rather than a tool.

The joystick is pretty much useless. For flight sims the mouse is better.

Let's see how well you do without a mouse in a flight sim.
