yes, yes, yes multiplayer. Then you would of course have to make it available on phones / tablets.

This is a great game, keep up the good work. Please do not make it more complicated - stick with the "10 minute..." theme. Complication does not always lead to better game play or better strategy and there are enough complicated games out there!

-- Multiplayer and/or a much better AI is definitely needed. Will need in-game diplomacy (messaging) for multiplayer.

-- Allow game setup to form teams. That could handle the AI issue. I could play against two (or three) AIs allied together!

-- Need more info on battles: how does effectiveness fit in? What does the difference in fleet size do? I have a hard time predicting the outcome of battles. You could have a quick website where you simulate battles.

-- Would also like info on fleet loses while laying siege to a planet. This is a function of population?

-- Some colors hard to tell apart: e.g. the two greens

-- Some numbers hard to tell apart: e.g. 5, 8 and 9. Okay with my own fleets (annoying, but I can click to get a bigger number) but for enemy fleets this could be very bad: "Is that 50 fighters or 90?"

-- Post game stats are always cool

-- How about a starbase module to boost research? Can I destroy my own starbases if I don't like where I put them?

-- I really like the relatively slow population growth. A lot of other games pop maxes out quickly making new colony ships cheap. In this game I never seem to have enough colony ships!

-- Randomness of unique techs could make-or-break your game. Some are worthless, some are super powerful (I like mid or high slingshots). Maybe break this into it's own research category keeping other tech prerequisites. E.g. slingshots still require 4 propulsion (or whatever it is) and I have to research 100 points of unq. tech, but I get to choose to research slingshots. Helps with the lameness of endgame research too: now I can research my 10th level of warfare, or I can go for Advanced Living III (I think that's what it's called).
