And finally... similar to one that I made with different ships, but only released to a few friends.

That last one is very cool.
The problem is now, no one has an idea of how STUN2 will be different from STUN1. Give us a list of features and examples of the game's level of detail and sophistication, so we can have something to chew on.

Status: offline 		Okay, I'm VERY busy. Here's some of the new features:
-New interface makes it easier to do everything. The galaxy map now is on its own screen allowing you to play the game from the map if you want. I could go on but I won't.
-A new galaxy type (island clusters).
-Freighters are now limited by carrying capacity. Can research new ones.
-4 types of cities: normal, protected, domed and underground. Offers increased protection from orbital bombardments.
-Spacedocks to upgrade your starships, freeing the worlds underneath to concentrate on research and its own production.
-Colonize popup allowing you to list the top 20 planets based on criteria you select with a button at the end to pick a ships to colonize the selected planet.
-Graph showing things like cash flow, etc. that you can use to compare against other races.
-Game balancing issues related to weapons and world improvements.
-New graphics 800x600x16bit color, particle effects, feathered sprites. I could go on, and will, but I have work to do

Status: offline 		Um, sir, did you say feathered sprites? What the heck are those? How many different ship types/sprites are there going to be per race/empire? One thing that was nice in Master of Orion 2 was that you had several ship images per ship type (so you could have different looking ship classes in a certain ship type, e.g. Constellation-class cruisers would look different from Enterprise-class cruisers). Not a critical issue though.

Status: offline 		Graphics look really cool. The only space trading/combat/exploration game I have played is pax imperia. My son and I enjoy playing against each other over our network but never got to complete a game because of the poor mulitiplayer code problems it had.
So comes the question will STun have mulitiplayer capabilities over home networks,lans,internet etc??
What kind of framework for release are we looking at? Thanx
Rhuin
