Interesting and thanks for the report over here Brad. One question though... Is GC2 still keeping the same open movment system as in GC1? That is is the entire galaxy a grid and you can move into any square (assuming range allowances...)? I know its just my 2c, but that aspect of the game really annoyed me, and I think it directly contributed to problems with the AI, it certainly made it more difficult for the AI to deal with various different threats, and spawned a ton of cheese. Again, my personal preference, but a worm hole system either ala MoO3 or SEIV would seem to make AI decisions simpler by cutting down on the amount of 'space' that the game has to keep track of. Of course a change like that would also change the way that you handle sensors and range and ship speeds, but it should improve the AIs ability to focus. You would also lose the junk collection by the science ships (or whatever they were called), but that was also kind of annoying to me.
