i had the idea that maby you guys should add a science or reasearch part to the game and not just war. this way peacfull people would have something else to do and something for us to do inbetween wars. like maby you guys could make a reasearch building with several things in it. maby a space reasearch room and a planet reasearch room to learn different things. and everytime you learn something you get a number of crystals.also some research things might need a higher level of the reasearch building or buildings.

i also think you should allow us to make science units like we can make troops. then we could send the teams to different peoples outposts and we could determine the amount of time they are there. then the longer they are there, the better the chance of us discovering something. maby we could also discover old ship designs that are very strong. maby an ancients ship design and it wouldnt be affected by bonuses by the wraith pylons and ground batteries. also some of the discoveries could be like the research projects for ships and troops so we wouldnt have to meet the requirments.

also i think it should be shown that a reasearch team is on an outpost and whose it is so it could be attacked if someone wanted to. then maby we could have an option to allow reasearch teams onto our outpost, or make it so we kill the reasearchers, or maby we just turn them away. this way we could choose to be a part of reasearching or not. i also think you guys should add in brain puzzles or something into some of the reseach parts to unlock the harder parts. maby you guys could also allow us to send reasearch teams onto the decorations on the map like the planets or stars or ships and then, like i said, get crystals for different discoveries.

if anyone has anymore ideas please post.
