Hi George,
I think your concept is brilliant and I would like to see EA pursue it. More land to build on would be great, land on a distant planet would be awesome. I think it might be interesting to have a club gather together to collectively build the infrastructure to support space travel...add an uninhabited city and let the interested members work together to construct the spaceport, construct a spaceship(s), build facilities to manufacture support items, load the craft with supplies (maintaining weight limits) and journey into space in search of a planet to colonize.
I think it’s a great idea...it continues the building and management theme at the core of the game, provides new challenges for seasoned veterans (you got me on SimCity - I’ve only been playing for 20 years), offers EA a fresh look that may bring back former players and excite new ones to give it a try. It really is a great concept.
Until of course some exec says hey we can incorporate the war game in it...we’ll call it Star Wars - oh that’s right...we’ll call it Simcity Buildit Space Conquest. 🙂
Well done George, excellent suggestions. Take care.
