some little suggestions ...
1st .. why not make mercs (or all races) being able to specify the building type, they attack when bombarding or doing spy ops
2nd .. giving merc (or merc & human) the possibility to establish mining bases on asteroids only ... limited in size and production amount and without any defense ... so they could be defended by fleets, but should be quite easy to be destroy
3rd .. giving mercs the ability, to send resources to their allies instead of only being able to sell them
4th .. why not establishing a new button on the trader screen, called 'win the game for 1 billion bucks' ... would make things much faster

I agree on mercs and humans being able to do 'minig operations' on asteroids, but only mining operations and no land defence only fleet support.
I also wanna suggest merc missions that are not just sabotage but not missions that could wipe out an entire empire (for example destroy fleet etc). Missions where one could use merc fighters instead of just spy units.

We tried to make game in such way, that You do not go deep in micro-things, i.e. micro-management, micro-commands, etc.... Theoretically this can be done, but this require a lot of recoding (some algorithms must be completelly rewritten) and this will require a lot of testing. But currently mercs have such ability (not complete, but have) - via spy sabotage missions.

So, You want additional "space" unit with ability to produce resources? This is a good idea, but I think it will not be realised tomorrow.

You can sell them and transfer money. But this is possible to add without drastical recoding - so, I want to know what other players think about this.

Nice humor, I`ll think about this
P.S. Note: we always collect Your ideas, but some of them are like revolition - because we must change a lot of game code, but we can not do this quickly (for example I promised to change Krong report, but it stil not done  ).

mercs need some more stuff to actualy do...it gets so boring being a merc, it lacks the options the rest of the races have cause they cant colonize...

I think I've mentioned something like this, or something similar.. but YeS! this would be awesome. Selling and sending the money isn't very conveniet what with the prices of the market going up and down. But instead of it just being the mercs, why can't ALL members of an alliance send resources to one another?? ex: Human send energy and metal to Krong.

3rd point could be applied to mercs only, why? Because then it would generate multiaccounting. Several small empires will send resources to master one. For mercs, player would need to evolve first and its not so eazy.

but cant you just set up a bot that logs IP addresses? and then depending on the time and IP, tempararily log them off pending further investigation and you could advertise this...its not hard to do, you can get the scripting for free from most script sights...
