One of the best space combat games I have seen

Sins of a Solar Empire is one of the best space strategic rts ship combat games I have played. Now it is not perfect, that is why I have given it a 9, lol. There are some small things that make a big difference for me. Things like the menus being see through so you can see what is happening while you chose what to research and such. That way you don't have to pause the game while doing other things. Now I would like it if you could research economic, military, and strategic all at the same time. One of the reasons I like the game is because I play Games Workshop table top game Battle Fleet Gothic. The two games are similar, but I wish SoaSE was more like BFG. I would like it if the ships had structure instead of health. Were they would have damage to the structure of the ship. The same old shield, armor, and health is getting old. By that I mean were the shield take damage until they are down, then the health takes damage. The armor just lessens the damage taken. I liken it to a tank being hit with enemy fire, you can hit a main battle tank many times without killing it but if you hit it just right you may cause major damage. Anyone who has played SSI Steel Panthers or Combat Missions will understand, and if you have not played those games you should, hehe. I would like it if you were not forced to take the jump line between planets, but that doesn't make me dislike the game. I would like it if there was some planet combat instead of just bombing planets. The limit on tactical and logistical slots is kind of small but I think it can be modded so you can build defenses that might be able to stand for at least a little while against a fleet. All total I think it is a solid 9, the ability to mod it relatively easily helped put it at 9 for me.
