Originally, this idea is what I thought MOO3 would be like.
There is currently a series of games published by Activision and designed by Creative Assembly known as the Total War series. Currenlty avaliable are Shogun: Total War, and Medieval: Total War. Rome :Total War is coming out sometime soon. What makes these games great is how they combine a compelling and interesting turn-based strategy game with brutal and realistic combat engine. They operate on the WE-GO system, where everyone plots there moves, then they are carried out. The battle system is fully 3D and incorporates terrain(which can be different depedning on troop direction and whatnot) and is just great.
Now imagine you are playing MOO2 and you do the whole move hting. YOu build custom ships and have custom races. When you battle, however, you using something similair to the Homeworld battle system. Full 3D tactical battles using custom units you designed. Of course the new customizing system would have to take into account hull shape and whatnot. Imagine you could even assign custom insignias and colours to your fleet, plus you still get all the special devices(the rotating gun would really be effective) missles, and some fighters.
If they made MOO4 with the strategy and depth of 2 and the combat system of HW, that would jsut be awesome.
