[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="3" id="3445304"] Excellent idea. I suggest that a range of rebellion outcomes also be enabled by the game engine. From a simple, 'rebel groups are gaining followers on planet .' and.. 'Large sectors of general population are sympathizing with rebellious' groups demands. and.. 'Covert affairs liaisons suggest possibilities of some military (ground?) (Naval) forces sympathizing with rebel demands.

While playing GC2 I remember having an occasionally case of "unhappy" planets either joining another galactic power, or seceding to form an independent colony. Those planets that declared independence I always found to be rather dull because of the lack of possibility to set up a dialog with them, as well having no means to defend themselves(no fleet). The only way to get them back was through invasion, and that usually took little effort. No

Check now..

I would find it highly likely that a civilisation capable of interstellar space travel would have mastered radiation shielding to a great degree. Although i'm sceptical of colonizing the gas giant itself, the moons on the other hand should be colonizable to some degree, considering it would mostly be in domed cities like it's probably on T1 planets. Regarding the Gas giant, one idea would be to have certain tipes of ship engines and weapons and terraforming options unavailable

This could be faily easy to implement, just by making the gas giant and it's host of moons act as a single planet does in the game now. When selecting a gas giant, instead of a map layout of a planet with 72 tiles, it would be layout with 20-50 moons, each moon a single tile, and on some improvements could be built. That would be the easy, simple way. Of course I personally wouldn't mind something a bit different and new to the game :)

I always got the feeling that the role of Gas Giants in GCII was simply to float there in the map looking pretty, which was exactly the thing, they had no uses. Most Gas Giants host a number of moon's, Jupiter for example has 67 or more, with a combined surface area of an earth size planet. That is a bunch of of territory waiting to be colonized.. Many scientists even ponder the possibility of life evolving on such moon's. I really hope GC3 gives Gas Giants some p

Zarkov got the right idea with the still "background picture", the scene wouldn't need to be "motion HD 3D". That way it wouldn't really slow down the game at all, only giving it a little "makeup" on planetary scale :P Probably wouldn't be hard to program either.

How about adding a colony view option(street view?), where players can see individual planets cities in there empire from ground level. The colony views would differ depending on the planets enviroment, the race architecture, as well as the colony specialication(industrial, agricultural, academic and happiness). It could even show little humans, yor or other aliens walking the streets. This view option could serve to give players visual example of how life could be on the planets, get

I understand your concerns regarding unbalancing the game Paragon. How I had imagined how it could work, it sure would have some "limitations" to sort of balance out it's effects. - Only one per Galaxy map. - High cost of resources to keep operational, limiting the empires ability to keep a fleet by 25-30%(maybe more?), regardless of your empire's size. Perhaps resource cost would even be directly linked to rising population on th

Hi folks I'm not sure how many are familiar with Larry Niven's Scifi novels of Known Space and in particular the books about the Ringworld. " The Ringworld is an artificial ring constructed by a highly advanced alien race ,about one million miles wide and approximately the diameter of Earth's orbit (which makes it about 600 million miles in circumference), encircling a sunlike star. It rotates, providing artificial gravity
