Just some ideas. I have really no experience with making mods so I don't know how hard it would to be to incorporate some of these.

Some heroes have the ability to "Raid" not the system already ingame but closer to the Zann consortiums 'Kidnap' or 'Intimidation' with corruption. The raid would give the rebellion on normal planets just a Credit bonus of Information on the surrounding areas for a certain amount of time. On certain planets Kessel,Corellia, and Kashyyk to list a few.Could give free units in the case of Kessel being a Slave fueled mining facility. A raid could lead to simple rebel infantry being spawned on another planet. Corellia could spawn some free corvettes.

For the Empire to develop the second death star maybe like in the original base game for the first death star. Make it take certain planets for recourses and a labor force. The list of planets can be sent via the mission tab. After completing the task a Research station must be constructed on endor to build the death star along with the emperor. If attacked while being built the Shell of the death star we seen in the movies will be there and able to fire. After finishing construction of it (Which I think it should be around 5 minutes to build) the first Death Star model can be used but it shoots twice as fast.

Instead of a Defeat menu popping up if palpatine or the death star is destroyed the Empire falls apart with only the core worlds remaining. The seceding worlds will join the rebellion.

Just some ideas and if there is any way I can help I would love to.

Lots of interesting ideas here, not all of them really feasible at my skill level yet. The one problem that exists right now is that the AI doesn't know how to build things like the Death Star when I give it tougher requirements like I have, requiring Palpatine to be in orbit. We'll see what develops.

Alright. I think if you need some help other mod developers would be glad to help. The star trek revival team seemed pretty friendly and im sure some developers from the devs of Thrawns Revenge would be glad to help. Pretty awesome concept you got here hope everything goes well

I agree, Corey, and his team are really cool and nice (Thrawn's Revenge team). I think a fun feature is that Han Solo get's a boost to speed/damage at Kessel, Yavin, and Endor; but for space. (Kessel for doing the Kessel Run, Yavin and Endor for destroying the Death Star(s).

Yes a few folks on the Thrawn's Revenge Discord actually helped me quite a bit when I ran into a roadblock. Great community on there.

I can't seem to comment - not sure why. So leaving this here.

Any thoughts on distributing this outside of Steam? (For those of us with the GoG version.) I'm pretty interested in these sorts of mods.
