here is my question / Suggestion
In the original Star Control / Star Control 2
Fighting Enemy fleets had very little affect on alien territory and the map
I was wondering if you are going to make it so destroying / clearing enemy fleets from systems will remove enemy presence from them and give friendly forces options to expand into that territory
This will give the user a feeling of progress in the war
Just a suggestion (if this is not already implemented)
and make fighting the enemy worthwhile beyond getting a few credits
