Which wasnt mine, but good idea none the lessIf its possible, don't know much about coding and what not.... But if your at war with a race that your not safe in there fed space. No matter how few weapons you have.
First off, i know ppl hate change (myself included...) but worth a shot:
Anyway, my "expansion" to this is as follows:
Remove "Federal Beacon" from all racial galaxies
Replace it with a "<Race> Protection Becon"
These becons would be available ONLY to those from that race, and its peaces.
Remove the ability to become a deputy from the Racial HQ's
Create a new location, Federation HQ, surrounded by the current Federal Becons
Move "Politics" screen to the main menu on left.
Then, either
A) Allow non-council members to see current peace/war votes (this is were we get more interaction with council and regular players as they can "lobby" the council members (or bribe...
B) when a war vote is made, send a message to anyone parked in that races fed space saying that "we are now at war, you have 12 hours before you are no longer under protect of "<Race> Protection Becon" (explained above)
C) Combination of both
Think that basically summarizes the idea...
