You know, I think I begin to suspect what the final stretch goal will be.

Anybody remember Boneyards? Galactic War mode? Not a dynamic singleplayer campaign, but a dynamic massively multiplayer one, with a galaxy full of planets that change ownership based on the outcome of multiplayer matches.

Hell yeah. Ta was ten year ahead of anything

I figured it would be something like actual space combat with ships and such.
It has been confirmed repeatedly that there won't be any space combat. Not with ships anyway. You can install a variety of satellites in a layer around your planet, and manipulate asteroids and moons, but that's it.

Oh I know. Still it seems like a glaring omission to not have some kind of space combat, even it it were a rudimentary form. I thought it would make a good last stretch goal since it would likely never get there anyway and would be good expansion fodder.

Well what they COULD do with the final level is Teraforming and planet creation.

OR!

An extra faction.

I just hope the 'orbital units' includes some kind of ability to make deep space stations or constructions not tied to an orbital body but which are themselves in orbit around the sun.

Nope. It has been stated that all "factions" will just be re-skins of each other. Official reason is "Everyone is already using the pinnacle of War technology, why use anything else?". However, there will be many more units for this one "Team".

Well, that solves the NOTA problem of "CORE is superior, why use ARM unless you just want cheaper units or a challenge?"

I must say, though, I prefer the NOTA way of having a command building rather than a commander, although in a Game of Planets, it may not be ideal since someone could totally wreck your initial planet and you have no way to move a base, but could evacuate a commander.

Anyone else noticing that the 15 tier will get one or two free spots then getting full again?

So apparently paypal donations count towards stretchgoals too. Good thing I noticed that.

Wow! I didn't think lava and metal would happen either. The mechanic of activating metal planets is very interesting and I wanted that stretch goal way more than the gas planets.
