I want a mechanical mouth that swallows enemy ships.

Yes, it might be very comical to see your ship literally chewing up an enemy ship, with pieces crumbling to the side and then getting grabbed by the mouth and swallowed, complete with swallowing motions. Yeah, maybe for the first five or ten times. Still, a rather whimsical idea.

In GalCiv2, there were never enough "cockpit" or "bridge" looking pieces, in my opinion. More of those would be great.

Hedgehog/Squid alike system, to deliver my beloved mines closer to enemy. Dropping "depth-charge" alike on pursuer also looks nice. :D

 

I wonder how many basic components we would have (or integration with third-party tool, like Blender, to make our own), allowing us to build anything in our game, without any worries about copyrights and licensees - I wouldn't mind to add F-5-alike plane into. :)

Yeah, but since there Steam, it only would be wise to attach steamwork, and either give us tools, or tell which ones we could use. Otherwise, it's better to find those 20 millions for non-steam version. :D

A part that can be animated in sync with a particular ship weapon.

I would like a world laser. Something that would essentially take up the entirety of the ship, would have to be built around for looks that would annihilate worlds. It could be a massive research project that would take its own hull, you could then enact your own design for it.

While I think this idea has appeal, I would like it to carry severe universal diplomatic penalties when someone used it.

Absolutely Lucky Jack. Much like the Death Star was absolutely hated. A world destroyer would have to have major political ramifications. Only really the worst races, or those in utter desperation would resort to it. Which is why it would be AWESOME!

That's highly unlikely to be implemented, because Frogboy will probably veto it:

We just don't alow orbital bombardment for the sake of genocide runs. GalCiv will NEVER EVER have that. ... The most we'll do would be Terror Stars and even those I don't want to have for the same reason (cheesey genocide runs).

Granted, that quote was in regards to GalCiv 2, but I very much doubt, that Frogboy changed his mind.

Much like others that have posted here I agree with some of their suggestions:

More cockpit/bridge components.

Weapons that can have a recoil action as well as a rotating one,even if its a tick box in the shipyard template page.

As for the world laser,we have Terror stars -why blow up a planet when you can blow up a entire solar system! ;)

I would like more jewellry that can be used as engines like the Star trek warp nacelles.

And unlike GC 2 where 6 unique racial ship styles were spread over 12 races perhaps we can have individual race ship styles?

As for a munching jaw have you tried rotating the parts?

just some thoughts....
