Characters, Economics and Espionage.

A few suggestions for future DLC and expansions.

• Characters: I would like to see character or "heroes" added as a function. For example fleet commanders, governors, scientists etc. That could provide boosts to the places they are assigned. 
• Economics: I would also like to see a more complex economic system, for one thing just being able to adjust tax would be nice.
• Government: Different types of governments and how they function would be a good addition, I seem to recall a similar system in GalCiv2.
• Espionage: Also a feature from GalCiv2 (one of the expansions if I recall correctly) was an active espionage system. This could be improved upon from the previous iteration in GalCiv2 and also contributes to the characters suggestion I mentioned above. 
• Super Weapons: PLEASE 

Galactic Civilizations has always been a great game that centered around players creating their own style and stories. I think the above suggestions would add a great amount of appreciated depth to the already great game. I can also say with no small amount of confidence that these are the kind of features that sell great DLC and expansions...ahem.
