I don’t know if anyone else has come up with these ideas or not. Sorry if I have repeated. But I think it would be a great idea if we could incorporate something like Wonders or monuments that your allies could visit with cameras and the whole family lol. Maybe our cities could expand when you fill up your buildings slots. I don’t really like how they restrict you. I understand that while you are building on your planet with enemies on it, you kind of need to conserve space but otherwise I think to enlarge our cities would be cool. Maybe if we could build hotels for travelers to stay in, space cruisers to travel in, and zoos for creatures that I collect from other planets. Id really love to see some of this in maybe an expansion. What do you guys think about my ideas?

Expandable cities
Tourist Destinations
Resorts/hotels
Cruisers
Zoos
Space Ports

I like ideas for different economic models. The spice model is pretty limiting and as far as I can tell impossible to put on auto-pilot. Trade routes seem to help keep the peace, but do they really do anything for economic activity? monuments or odd vacation type spots, or even wild zoo planets would be similar I think - unless they change the economic model it's tough to see how the game incorporates it into the spice model.

I'm someone who thinks the underlying economics could create alot of different ways to play if implemented differently. I think it'd add some elements quite a bit better than so many park ranger: shoot these creatures in 3 minutes tasks that "plague" the game. If foreign relations were only so simple as shooting 5 sick buffalo.

lol seriously

Oh how I wish an ecumenopolis were possible but it would make no sense whithin the current game mechanics
