Community DLC Suggestion Poll: Week of 4/4/10

[HellishFiend]

Community DLC voting for the week is now underway!

The nominations that receive high amounts of votes will receive higher consideration to be DLC in the near future. If a particular piece of content is likely to be out-of-scope for the near future, it will be kept on a list of content we would like to see in the next expansion (Q4 '10). Please note that we may not know whether or not a suggestion will need to be shelved until after the voting.  Also bear in mind that this is Chris/x4000's game and inclusion of any content is ultimately his decision!

The voting will last one week. The next nomination topic will begin on the 11th.

Thanks for your participation!

rewamp

i see what you did there.

or is rewamp an actual word/term?

[HellishFiend]

rewamp

i see what you did there.

Voodoomancer did it, and I left it there. 

[triggerman602]

He did it in his original thread too though.

[HellishFiend]

I noticed that, so I put quote marks around it for emphasis. 

[RCIX]

Aside from my idea, the only one that really stands out is the shot power representation; i'm all for anything to make AI war look better

[snrub_guy]

Huh, and just to be different RCIX, I wanted like 5 votes... Went for the new starships and the single engie nodes, but there were three or four others that I thought were great ideas too...

[FrostyThePyro]

Credit were credit is due, I didn't make the suggestion I just nominated it (I know somone nominating something they didn't suggest, heresy).  I-KP suggested it (could have sworn I entered that in when I nominated it)

Yes, but the "credit" for the entries in the polls goes to the one who nominates, to keep track of who has already used their nomination for the week. Anyone can nominate anyone else's entries, and everyone gets one entry per week.

And nominating someone else's suggestion is definitely not heresy. You should nominate whatever you want to see in the game, regardless of who came up with it.

I really want that rebel colony fix, that is by far the most overt annoyance right now

[I-KP]

Shouldn't fixes be dealt with as a matter of course and not via a nominations process?

[dumpsterKEEPER]

Shouldn't fixes be dealt with as a matter of course and not via a nominations process?

I agree, but the rebel colony "fix" is really more of a more of a "make these less annoying and actually fun" tweak and not a "these are reproducibly broken" bugfix, since they are working as intended.

[I-KP]

Fairy muff then.

[dumpsterKEEPER]

Fairy muff then.

And I just expanded my vocabulary

Ok, Chris likes this one too, so I'll put it on my short list

Feature: Construction Templates

I'd really like to get to this one soon, too.

Unit: Support starship line

Still have carriers on the list, but an additional line of starships can bring additional coolness

Control Node: Single Planet re-builders and engineers

Does seem very useful; I was surprised to realize those ones weren't already single-planet.  Not sure how much time there will be this month, but we'll remember this.

Feature: Visual shot power representation

As Chris said, this could take a while to implement; but it would be very nice to add a bit more variety to the shots and make it easier to realize the difference between, say, a mk I bomber and a mkIII bomber.
