Suggestion : VCR sounds
I would love to see more of the silly sounds from winplan incorporated into the vcr combat. "We lost jones!" for example ;)

I bet there are plenty of artists who would gladly let you use their background music for the VCRs - just like the visual art that has been so awesome for the playing experience!
And, how about adding some particle effects to make the explosions more satisfying?
And, maybe a sound that says "starship captured!"
"Torpedoes Depleted"
"Incoming fighters!" -

I realize this stuff isn't really important, but even though this isn't a graphics based game, I wouldn't mind seeing more stuff in the VCR's too. Even little differences would be noticeable and neat. I like the idea for different sounds for different beams, so that X-rays sound kinda wimpy, and Heavy Phasers shake your freaking desk when they go off....or something else more reasonable. :)
I hadn't played planets in over a decade until I joined Nu, but I seem to remember cloaking ships kinda decloaking in the VCR's before they fought. Didn't change results at all, but it looked cool. Wouldn't mind seeing that again. -

Additionally, thematic background music viewing a report or simulating a battle, Laser bolt sound effects from the old VCR fighters and a more robust selection of beam shot sound effects for the different types of beams.
