[Tor Cha (OP)]

 1. Are there ever going to be Beam/Other weapon Mines? Like in SFB Photon Mines, Phaser Mines, Disrupter Mines, Plasma Mines?
 2. Are there going to be More Techs/ Higher techs that will Make Items Smaller, Yet More Complex?( going from Vacuum tubes to     Ic Chips to Micro Processors) . Gravity Drives Link in SA3 for the Heavy Bombardment Missiles Drive, or the 2 & 3 Stage Missiles, the Missile Drives in David Webbers Honor Harrington Books? Also from those Books. Are Lac(light Attack Craft) Similar to Gunboats or Fighters?
 3. In John Ringo's Citadel Series they Make Battle Stations Out of Asteroids that are Mined, comet stuffed, Plugged up then Heated till the Asteroid Expands then cools, It is done with a Solar Beam from the Sun Not Produced Energy Weapons. would or could that be Possible?
 4. are You Planning to Introduce a System or Systems Like Data-link or Command Data-links? 
 5. A Planet Has a Ruin on it, What is Needed to House the People needed to search, Investigate, Uncover, and explore said Ruin?  1-2 research Labs, a Boat bay or 2, 1-2 Million people? What is Needed Besides the Xenologist Team?
 6. You have a Sensor Buoy By a JP, How Many Missile/Mines can it Control?
 7. Are there Techs that You are Planning to Bring into the game that will or Can Shift the Play of the Game If Used to Extreme?
 8. is there a Set or Necessary requirements For a RD(recon Drone), Can a Person shut down the Drives of there Missiles to extend there Range?On sensor Buoys, Missiles, and recon drones Are you in contact with them Until the Exit your Passive Range or do they extend that range. if so By how Much?
 9. Will be able to add More tractor Beams Later ? Missile/Fighter Defense reasons?

Btw Thanks for the Bio Steve W. It has Helped Me Understand the Game and You a Bit More. No not a Stalker Here Just a Person that Likes to Know a Bit about the Author of a Game that Has filled the Void of SA and Other Strat/Tac Space Games.

1. Are there ever going to be Beam/Other weapon Mines? Like in SFB Photon Mines, Phaser Mines, Disrupter Mines, Plasma Mines?

Technically you can do that now with using mines with submunitions with laser warheads. But otherwise I don't think it would go well with the game balance.

2. Are there going to be More Techs/ Higher techs that will Make Items Smaller, Yet More Complex?( going from Vacuum tubes to     Ic Chips to Micro Processors) . Gravity Drives Link in SA3 for the Heavy Bombardment Missiles Drive, or the 2 & 3 Stage Missiles, the Missile Drives in David Webbers Honor Harrington Books? Also from those Books. Are Lac(light Attack Craft) Similar to Gunboats or Fighters?

There are already plenty of those techs.

3. In John Ringo's Citadel Series they Make Battle Stations Out of Asteroids that are Mined, comet stuffed, Plugged up then Heated till the Asteroid Expands then cools, It is done with a Solar Beam from the Sun Not Produced Energy Weapons. would or could that be Possible?

You can RP that if you want, but I don't think Steve would be keen on this idea.

4. are You Planning to Introduce a System or Systems Like Data-link or Command Data-links?

You mean a chain of command?

 
 5. A Planet Has a Ruin on it, What is Needed to House the People needed to search, Investigate, Uncover, and explore said Ruin?  1-2 research Labs, a Boat bay or 2, 1-2 Million people? What is Needed Besides the Xenologist Team?

Just the team. Afterwords to salvage the things in the ruins, you need a Construction Brigade.

6. You have a Sensor Buoy By a JP, How Many Missile/Mines can it Control?

As many as in its design as a sub munition.

7. Are there Techs that You are Planning to Bring into the game that will or Can Shift the Play of the Game If Used to Extreme?

Anything and everything in game already can be like that. In 7.2 there will be a new weapon that deals damage in a 1 thick column the whole way, so that could be considered a weapon that shifts the balance.

8. is there a Set or Necessary requirements For a RD(recon Drone), Can a Person shut down the Drives of there Missiles to extend there Range?On sensor Buoys, Missiles, and recon drones Are you in contact with them Until the Exit your Passive Range or do they extend that range. if so By how Much?

A missile with engines and active sensors. You cannot shutdown missiles' engines. Even if you could it wouldn't extend range.

9. Will be able to add More tractor Beams Later ? Missile/Fighter Defense reasons?

Probably not.
