Greetings!
We want your ideas to possibly replace M6 and M7. To show an example, here are some of my ideas:
* Hyperscanner - scanner with a range of 450-600 pxc and "special scan" range of 150-300 pxc. You would know absolutely everything inside the special scan range. Fuel consumption would be H-U-G-E!
* Bombard Cannon - a special weapon which kills only troops, but do so in a tremendous rate, at about 1000-2000 troops per turn.
* Mind Control Device - when activated, this would capture an enemy planet intact, including troops and defense pods. Works only if no enemy ships are present.
* EMP Pulse - when activated, all ships with a specified range suffer: shields drop to persistent level / all weapons take random damage but are not destroyed / all misc items are temporarily disabled / damaged / destroyed beyond repair
* Attack Shuttles - a chance per turn to capture enemy ships with hull damage.
* Automated Repair Unit - faster hull and component repairs
* Space Factory - convert fuel to troops / automatically produce troops / convert fuel to M/M/O / convert fuel to Dodechadrium at a rate of 1000:1
* Fighter Bays - consumes fuel, all enemy ships within short range (about 50 pxc) are damaged
* Tractor Beam - all enemy ships' warp speed in range is reduced to 1.0
* Spy Device - when activated over an enemy planet, get all info and scanner from the planet until captured by someone
* Damage Amplifier - increases damage done by ship weapons
* Improved Armor - increases hull strength of ship
* Cargo Compressor - gives the ship more extra cargo space than its volume is. The new space is for cargo only, not for components, especially additional Compressors!

Greetings!
Here are even more ideas for new misc items:
* Missile Launcher - launches a missile which will track its target until it is lost from all friendly scanners. The missile has no scanner of its own. The warp speed could be somewhere between 1.5-2.5. The missile will damage the target ship and its components, damage could even be in percentage units instead of hull points.
* Siege Missile - a missile which will bombard planets from a long range, destroying troops, materials and tech levels, and interrupting planetary actions.
* Terraforming Module - when launched on a planet, will improve its base production permanently.
* Genesis Device - same as Superbomb, except the planet's production values will be completely re-created, perhaps even better than the original.
* Killer Robot Bays - launches killer robots onto the planet, destroying everything on surface: materials, components and tech levels, but leaving production.
* Upgrade Device - will upgrade every ship hull in a different way.
* Leviathan Device - a general-purpose device which improves hull armor, and gives free engine, weapon and shield power to the ship. The device will take 100% of the cargo space of a Battleship and will originally have weak stats. The stats will increase if you feed some of your own planets to the device: fuel production of the planet will be transformed into engine power, troops prod into hull armor and so on.
