+Multiple factions
+Turn based
+
+What about FF style combat
+
+Dipomacy
+Can form alliances
+Can request:
+	accompany
+	defend (area)
+	attack (area or faction)
+	break alliance
+	good will (send or demand help)
+	Open borders
+	non-agression pacts
+	trade agreemens
+	embargo
+
+Each faction has a cap ship (think titans)
+ships, especialy big ones, are rare.
+Even with small ships, a fleet of 70 or so would be considered huge
+
+optional deep hex, as in, I go into combat on a hex and transfer to its own hex grid
+has environment things like clouds to increase evasion with risk and what not
+
+optional action fight, fly around hex area takes x amount of turns or whatever
+optional quick fight, still takes turns
+
+Possible combat like windward (prolly not hex based in this case, but mehbe)
+Boarding possible
+
+warp is multi hex movements. 1 turn to charge and 1 to halt
+
+auto trade among planets of some sort (supply routes?)
+
+Grid hexagon prefered.. Make grid library
+
+lib can make square or flat or point top hex
+
+is 0,0 top left? or is 0+0+0 the center?
+
+trading
+	some planets produce certain things
+	randomized changes in goods based on those produced goods every so often (mothly?)
+
+Beyond combat, each hex could devulge into its own temporary (think instance) hex grid
+for things like combat, exploration, and mining
+
+Possibly have ruler and non-ruler positions (think ROTK)
+
+ability to poison planets (attack planet populations, why? I don't know
+													 perhaps to use as a threat to run away)
+
+Does the player choose a race?
+	If so, let's have some races that are significantly different.
+		Example, a race that only inhabits suns and cannot live in other environments.
+		Other environment specific races.
+
+Upgradeable ships?
+Inventory on ships?
+Is leveling part of the game?
+Can we target enemy subsystems?
+Can we do a lot of stuff on the planets?
+Do we have fuel?
+Do I control only myself? Or do I control others? 
+	I think 4x is the way to go, perhaps we can piolt a single ship directly
+	at some time. Or only or cap ship, but probably not.
+Is this a numbers game when it comes to combat? I don't think it should be.
+Should the main point of this game be economics? Do we want Trinket style combat?
+	How about command and conquer?
+	How about incorporate? (Think, diplo/force convince people to join our alliance)
+Do we have tech trees? Some other form of tech?
+	Do we have randomized tech? Randomized choices from a pool of tech when certain
+		requirements are met?
+		Do we have levels of tech? Is it linear only?
+			Perhaps we have engine tech that gives plus 3,
+			 and other that gives plus 2. These could just be addative, and thus
+			 no worry about price
+Hex grid should not be visible (outside of combat anyway, but toggelable anyway, why not?)
+	Players can only go to stars/planets, not arbitrary places in spaces, but hexes DO exit and will be
+		used to determine distances. Actually, I do want arbitrary places, especially if we don't have fuel.
+		Also, use a range mech. I can go x distance from one of my, or my allies' planets/refuling stations.
+		Have a warning when a ship is sent out too far to make it back for fuel
+
+Do we RNG everything? I think so. Procedual generation seems to be key for this type of game to stay
+  exciting.
+
+Do we have colony ships?
+
+Do we pay maitainence on ships?
+
+Do we just move star to star and then each star has its own grid with planets?
+
+Do we see the whole map right away? Or do we send scouts, and then you can see planets
+	within range of planets you've explored
+Do we have fog of war?
+
+Do we have hover description things like EU4?
+
+I'm thinking work like this.
+
+Implement grid system
+be able to get coors of any hex on mouse over
+Put a player out there that can move grid to grid
+Impletment graphics on that grid system (even if it's just black with specs on it)
+
+
+Perhaps take the game in stages.
+First, basically just a guy that goes around hexes that can do combat.
+Another version adds in planetary combat.
+Next version we add planetary trading
+Next version we add customizeable ships
+another version adds real diplo
+Another version adds planetary devlopment.
+Another version adds tech. This is going to be hard because I don't want a boring old tree
+
+
+NOTES;
+I'm thinking no player controled combat. Perhas influenced, but not conrolled.
+
+
+Federations:
+  If a federation is able to take in planets to the point where they surround another federations planet,
+	  they have the ability to evect the people of said planet, and take it over.
+
+
+Can happen upon battles that NPC's are currently in and join on either side, reguardless of reputation
