Hi Steve, is there any possibility that in the future, colonies might possess unique environmental traits, particularly on those worlds that are potentially habitable (or have been terraformed)? For example a warm ocean world might be home to native sea-dwelling Megafauna, enhancing Luxury Food output. Meanwhile, a newly-terraformed Mars might suffer from severe storms due to rapid climate change, slowing production capacity by a certain percentage. Other worlds might be the home of semi-sentient beasts, viral outbreaks, aggressively hostile alien ecosystems, frequent asteroid storms, etc.
Also, when using the empire map will we be able to overlay our own nation's flag onto systems that we wish to designate as under our control?
