Hey Steve.
Thanks for making this possible, you are making an awesome.. legendary work.
I have a small question. Currently most of countries include some kind of military deals in their daily relationships. Countries sell and buy military and civilian stuff daily, have you thought in this possibilty? Imagine a race buying technology or even finished ships,fighters, ground units, missiles, installations from other race (or houses if we follow current aar).
I dont know if this kind of transactions are possible or not but l think it would give the game a new level in several ways and strategies. From developing just your economic strenght to buy from external suppliers, to develop your own industry and get some profit reinforcing even their future enemies....
Thanks
