When I send my pawns to hunt they know to stalk their pray maintain distance and fire. Why do I have to micromanage their every move in a battle situation? Why would they fire at an enemy when another pawn is in their direct line of fire. Why would they throw that grenade into that crowd that contained their life mates?

I would love to see at least as much AI for battle as my pawns have for picking corn.

We need the wheel. We need carts, wheelchairs, front loaders, back loaders and side loaders. We need trucks and caravans, ATV's

We neeeed these things.

But I can not make them. So i implore you..

So I was in the shower and thinking about Rim. Specifically, I was wondering if anyone had considered adding a spacefaring element to the game now that we have a few more mechanics to work with.

My idea is several parts. The first being the starship. Which would be built on the original playing field. It would be a much larger undertaking than building an escape vehicle. You would need to have most of the comforts of home available. Structures for propulsion life support the entire nine.

Once built the starship may be launched. You put all your colonists on there and launch at which point the playfield changes to a dark outer space graphic with the appropriate garbage satellites / asteroids / Space junk your colonists are then basically confined to the ship which they will then decide to travel to another planet on the rim or to move over a certain area of the current planet and trade/invade/ etc. Of course, there will be options to take space walls to make repairs or to take a drop pod to the surface for supplies.

Threats would come in the form of asteroid belts and other starships that would enter onto the playfield in much the same way they do now and engage in actions.

I was thinking the addition of the travel and camping mechanics might make this a lot easier. I have no clue I'm way to busy enjoying the game to figure out how it works. But what about you brainiacs?
