Espionage and the new trade might be next. There is a post from Frogboy stating that the rebuild of the invasion system will come with the expand-alone. I suspect that this will make sweeping changes to how the game plays.
I have said it many times, if I was not an Alpha I would happily pay $20.00 for a DLC that was <only> diplomatic and encounter responses from the ai to the player. I want more insults, more jibes, more condescending responses, more drunken tirades, more 'snobbish better than' quips and jabs.
I would love to have the ai interupt me with just a bulletin saying, "hey you know proixima III over near the Torians is a craphole, how bout you sell it to me for XXX BN, I can do much more with it than you seem to be"
Also more emotive responses when making a trade.
I am not sure what the resources needed to do this but I am happy to write some. Heck we can all write up responses which we feel would be funny or such and have the Devs add them to this DLC.
I would make another great contest...'Add some Snarky' to your game. Let see who has the best one liners!
Altarians: 'Seriously did you just try to bUy Beam weapons from me? Like we would be that stupid to give you low brow monkeys the means to attack me!"
Torians: "Your skin is a bit dry and flaky, here try our new skin cream made from bug-blatterbeast of Secundus XII"
Drengin: "Have you tried our New double Torian burgers"? "Now really non-vegan"
Ok I am reaching but I still think it would be ultra cool....I am tempted to send 3 liters of Patron Silver to the office in Michigan, just to get it started.
Cheers!
