well its kinda supost to be weak. you know it would be nice if at the start of a game if the ai didnt immedatly send its scout to your base to be destroyed.

But then what voice over would you use for the Venture "Class", huh?
I say leave it, because this is REALLY nitpicking

Venture Class is a good name.

The fed scout could have a probe ability, where it can drop a sensor probe onto a planet or similar and the probe acts like a sensor platform, but is destroyed when the planet is colonized/has a metal refining... thing built around it.

Dominion could have a sensor 'ping' a sensor blast which momentarily doubles it's sensor range and highlights all ships in said range for 5 seconds.

Dont wine cuz you got no post on it. Do you think that you are the only person to come up with that idea and have it shot down. I had a much more through and in depth post that no one really posted on either.

In regards to the planet posts, there have been about 5-10 of these over the past 3 years... and a whole range of ideas have been explored. However, I don't believe they will be implemented any time soon ... maybe in V4 or V5 (as they are more a nice thing to have, then essential to game play at the moment). So don't despair, if you look back on some of those really really old threads, you'll see that Optec and DOCaCola have given some encouraging replies

obviously dircome you didnt even look at my post, it was very long

well i know there not essential dominus but they could become a very nice part of gameplay, especially with the mercenaries/ dilithium idea i had and such

Obviously Ray you didnt even look at my post, becauese it was even longer.

Since it was before you joined FO i will post a link to it My Planet Post If you don't believe that my post was longer i cut and pasted them into office for ease of comparison. Mine was a page and a half or so. While yours was about 3/4 of a page. One other thing if you want people to take your posts more seriously consider using proper grammar and better formating. Its easier for people to read and looks more professional, and consequently people will pay more notice.

As a side note Dominus have you been with FO since its infancy? I know you have been here as long as i have but i was just wondering.

It would be cool if you could search the planet for hidden treasures.  you know, crashed ships, cool tech, stolen goods.

yeah it would be awsome

and diricome if you want to get that picky about it, yours had 458 words, mine had 527

Ok fine yours was slightly longer ill probably type more than fifty words to respond to your post. Anyway you are missing the point your post are quite often disorganized and this makes them hard to follow. Unless you are just posting because you are bored, you want the us and the team to take your ideas seriously. However how seriously can we take them if you wont take a little extra time to format them. O and just in case you were wondering there is 88 words.

Guys, come on, this should NOT turn into ANOTHER planets discussion/argument/whine. If you want to do that, reply in the planets threads themselves. This thread has changed topic enough times already.

@ Dircome: Naa, I'm a relative youngster here compared to some of the folks. I've been frequenting the forums for around 4 years because I thought everything was really neat... but I didn't think it would be wise to join until after my school schedule calmed somewhat so that I could actually offer something to the community. Thus about 2 years ago I officially joined so that I could take the time to share my own sentiments 

Your planet post link doesn't seem to work for me... odd
