Number of suggestions for newest version

Like the topic subject said.  What about altered skins for the ships when they are assimilated?  I would assume the team is already thinking of adding even more ships, so not going to mention suggestions for that. 

Perhaps more background music, updated ship and weapon sounds.  It might be cool to have each races red alert sound when initially attacked (though if it stayed while attacks continued in that particular fight instance would get exceedingly annoying).  I would figure the same timing script as when it says you are engaged/engage an enemy could work.

Or in conjunction to that an interface alteration with the above mentioned sounds, or just the interface changing.  Or just simply a red alert monitor animated icon for it.  Such as the Feds normal red alert with the scrolling bars.

Lastly, have you guys thought about creating campaigns?  Like the old single player game for armada and armada 2 for each race?  That would be interesting.

Assimilated textures and Borgie bits will be added eventually: it's on the todo list last I remember

Campaigns will also be done very far in the future--now that Megadroid has figured out how to make custom campaigns work, we can make our own too

I definitely like the idea of more background music--not so sure what you mean by ship and weapon sounds (voices?), but I think I get the jist, and I like it 

In reference to red alert sounds, some sort of implementation like that would definitely be interesting and add some more flavor

aye. damaged borg textures are on todo, but it will take another patch or two as we have something in mind for that purpose - but that requires some additional work

By updated ship and weapon sounds, I mean as in just more cleaner crisp ones.  One right off the top of my head I can think of is the cloak/decloak.  They are kind of rough.
