I want to remake Outpost 2 ...

I want to remake Outpost 2 and I am trying to collect some base material. I would like to know what people would like to have seen on that game, what they didn't like, what they liked, etc..

Since this is still just a project, I think I'll try to keep it a 2D RTS

Things I liked about the game:
- Research Tree
- Different combat chassis - sacrificing speed for armour
- Weapon types - EMP, damage, sticky stuff
- The Plymouth arachnid weapons
- The Story

Things I didn't like
- Having to research for a basic weapon
- No automated way to get Scientists
- No free beer :P

Reading over the multiplayer options, it sounded pretty good, but I would've liked the chance to play the computer at those game types.

I think there were files on the CD or in the install directory that had stats on all the vehicles/weapons. But I'm not sure if they gave numbers or just "Light/Med/Heavy" values...

Hope this helps a bit, some new cartoon is on Cartoon Netowrk now, so I'm gonna go watch it :)
