I would like this in an expansion!

1. Many more planet types with various conditions like in galactic civilization 2! (There are: Vulcano, Desert, Earth-like, Arid, Rocky, Plains,  Non-atmosphere and so on).
2. The ability to terraform planets. To change ice planet to thriving green planets.
3. Various events, like electromagnetic storms, earthquakes and such. Planetary collapse! Good and bad events!
4. To be able to build a research outposts or something like that in non planetary regions like Debri fields, gas giants, wormholes, asteroid fields. And ofcourse in planetary regions aswell
5. Lesser planets in one solar system (5-15 planets MAX...), then some asteroid fields and such...
6. Binary systems!
7. A new race!
8. Defense buildings to be more effective!
9. Phase inhibitors to really stop the enemy from fleeing... They should have to destroy it to get away
10. More ships
11. A campaign

I would love to see most if not all of these thing in Soase expansion or the second game:D

Binary systems. << Cool thought. Haven't heard that one before although I haven't read all the posts here obviously, really like that idea.

I do believe a lot of those have been promised in upcoming patches.

I know "random events" was mentioned as a future probable, and PJI's being improved is one of the most requested things on the boards... and I've heard a lot of talk (and seen 2 mods) adding more planet types in.

Doubtful terraforming or increased defense power will happen as they would change the whole game dynamics...

The rest are possible (but some are unlikely) - and I imagine we will have to wait for an expansion/sequel to get more official races. Although I really think they could make pirates a playable race pretty simply (although would take a lot of balancing work after that).

You don't really need an xpac for most of that stuff. Some are easily patched in.

Things like an extra race or something major *cough*campaign*cough* would definitely need an xpac most likely.
