Totally agree on naming the Planet or system (system takes on the planet name even?)
Star systems - would be nice if there were larger star systems, with more than 4 planets or asteroid belt rings.
Definately could use a much larger galaxy map... easily twice the size. Considering how long it takes to travel from top to bottom of the map right now. would seem more realistic for the same time a map twice the size. (likewise the current map size shold only take half the time to cross top to bottom).
I do remember fleet travels were faster in MoO2. Directly related to technology researched and equipped on the ships of course.
I do miss the "range" a fleet or ship was allowed to hop in number of hops. Different drives and techology would play effect as well.
What ever happened to Jump Gates that allowed a fleet to jump Point A to Point B (and in some many fewer turns) when in your controlled space?
Here's an idea, If a player was given a choice to build either or: Military Outpost or Jump Gate at the Warp Entry point of a systm... Warp Entry Point would be undefended entry point into a system that had a Jump gate built however, it would allow Point A to Point B direct fleet jumping in fewer turns than into a system without Jump Gates... That would be strategy and tactics. Especially for systems on the fronteir borders of racial owned territory may choose to not have jump gates, or have the back-facing warp points only with Jump Gates while the front facing Warp Points have Military installations built...
This would allow for faster direct fleet travel in your controlled space (especially moving the bulk of your fleet(s) to a system that the enemy is invading), while still taking the regular long time to travel uncontrolled / unowned star systems via exploring or to conquer enemy space.
Forgot wormholes... First gameplay through, one located opposite ends of the map (left to right) which was great... new game - 2 wormholes and maybe 3 systems apart from one another... ugh...
