Whilst it was a nice little bit of RP flavour text, all it actually did was assign a series of empire racial presets for militancy, research, expansionism etc. So wouldn't exactly call it a 'feature' as more just a text field Steve has now removed.

Looking at the database the government are still there, probably for NPR generation

Flavor text can still be important. Personality traits for commanders serve no functional purpose, but I consider them critical for narrative crafting. Granted, not everyone plays Aurora in this manner, but Steve very clearly does.

I too would like governments to return someday. Even if it was just complete flavor.

Well, that's why I'm playing Caves of Qud, Dwarf Fortress and Aurora 4x, for the ability to immerse myself and create a perfect environment with actors that I recognize.  I was about to create a game with space kings and vassals (a bit like a Crusader Kings in space now that I am thinking about it).  But. . .  "Empire"?. . .  Just that? I want to use my imagination but I have to avoid looking at the colony summary and everybody knows here that it is impossible.

I think it was a nice little feature, even if it was effectively just flavour text. You should add it to the suggestions thread.

Yes sure I'll do that. 😊
