Not wanting to start a new topic I thought I’d add what I’d like to see in Takamo Universe, as well as Takamo.
Corruption/expansion penalties. Say a reduction of income from each planet 2% * # of sectors from homeworld. This would encourage players to carve out their own fiefdoms and invest in developing the worlds around them rather than cherry picking worlds within their alliances’ sphere of influence. This would be a lot more “realistic” if I can use that word in a science fiction game.
Starting position of one world or at maximum one system. I understand a “quick start” was needed to get new players and developers used to the Takamo Universe so we started with three terraformed worlds and a bunch of colonies. But, if we are a scattering of mankind (and others) surviving cybernetic extinction and it does not make much sense to be scattered across a sector with vulnerable supply lines.
Also I think just about every science fiction show/book shows that mankind will not exist with another race in the same home system. At some point in time before the development of interstellar flight one planet will enslave or eliminate all other sentinant life within their home system. It would make sense for intial player starts to be a Homeworld and colonies within the system, rather than NPC worlds within the system
