I only recently started playing this game. I'm only semi-addicted so far, mercifully. The main lack I feel in the game is that there's little incentive to achieve non-military goals. You can increase your happiness level all you want, but there isn't any 'happiness ranking' command. What I'd like to see [somewhere at LucasFilms, psl mumbles "not again..."] would be an alternative to the 'power' command along the lines of a 'prosperity' command. It would figure in how well fed everyone is, happiness level, low percentage of military per capita, probably tech level, wealth, and maybe population density. It would theoretically be possible to score high in both rankings, since the 'power' rating is so heavily based on the number of sectors. Mike [ucbvax!decvax]!trw-unix!trwspp!urban
