Just got done playing the demo. Actually been playing for awhile, couple of hours actually. I couldn't stop, kind of disappointing having the demo timer cut you off when you are hooked.

I decided to download the Demo after getting into Master of Orion III. That game has crappy graphics, but lots of depth. I don't really care for the battle system though.

I just wish that GalCiv2 would include some of the MooIII features. I really like how in MooIII you can purpose your own Senate bills. I would like to see this expanded on greatly. Just overall more depth in everything. Have the United Planets make a bigger part of the game. Now it justs seems like a semi-interactive addon. How about resources that you can trade for specificly. Like Iron Ore, or some metals.

Just stuff to add more depth and stragtagy to the game.

I love the ship builder, but I do think it needs to be retought out to make more stratagy out of it. Right now it's add the most damage and let her go.

I don't know, is there any mods right now that plan to add and enhance the diplomacy part of the game? How about adding more military options. Nuking planets, capturing ships, deploying carries, repair ships, space mines, territory marking, cloaked ships

No upgrades unless at a starport.

I like Galciv2 and it's such a huge improvement over its orignal, but it seems like it needs more depth. I would like to see the expasion pack/patches add more to spying, diplomacy, and certainly the United Planets.

I'd certainly buy it.

Is there anyone working on mods for Realism/Enhancment or just adding some new techs/items. Can mods be stacked? If so what are some links.

Thanks,
Let's hope future patches help make the game even better by listening to the fans.

P.S. Stardock is heading in the right direction with the piracy, and the paid updates. It makes the patches worth gold.
