What would you want to see in a hypothetical Alpha Centauri II?

AC was basically a great game, it just needs the best parts from civ3 thrown in. Bring in a resource system that influences what weapons, armour and improvements you can build in your cities, allow more factions to play on a map, update the graphics WITHOUT requiring everyone to buy a new computer to run the game. Keep the social engineering more or less as it was, and either keep the old back story, or make sure that the new one has at least as much thought given to it.

It might be a bit too much to ask, but a unit creator similar to the one in GalCiv II would fit in ACII perfectly.

Well I think they should fix up some of the graphics along with adding may 2 new factions along with one more terrorist sort of faction that could be in reaction to Lal or what ever his name is. Maybe you could play as the terrorist one..maybe not. Anyways also think they should get rid of probes. Pretty pointless.

The should let you make obrital bases around the planet. And maybe on the moons of the planet though that would be super late in the game.

O by the way I am new here...Hi everyone : P <3

There are an enormous number of improvements I'd like to see. To save myself writing time, here are a small number of them:

Eradication of all the bugs from Alpha Centauri 1.
Better modding abilities.
Better AI.

A "Quick Restart" button on the in-game menus, so that I don't have to go all the way back out to generate a new map to start a new game.

Most of the changes you guys are requesting (ie. better ai) can be done just by editing alpha.txt.

Wow, how do you improve on one of the best games of all time?

More factions on one map would be great, as someone else said. One thing that also annoyed me in AC was indeed the whole monochrome thing. Everything seemed to be red or purple which got really boring after a while. What else? Better AI, of course.

Hmm, you've got me thinking now.. sure there's something obvious that's been missed
