Best patch ever. The broadcast warpgates make continent locks more valuable, battles easier to get to, and create a frontline between continents. The general Core Combat changes are great, particularly the longer mod times and *particularly* the cavern lock benefits. Cavern control has a new, special signifigance. The Capitol, in addition to it's warpgate benefits, contribute a great center of power on a continent, and a safe place to mount an attack from. The Sub-capitol system is great, and the numbers needed to take down the force dome and to actually hack are just great. The CC ammo boxes make them viable weapons now, and they're easier to get with more frequent cavern locks.
The only think I want to see added is the capitol being a new spawn catigory. As long as your empire controls it, you should be able to spawn there from anywhere on the continent without having to bind. This would be good if the hostile empires are beginning to overtake bases attached to the warpgate. Have a CR send out a global for people to broadcast to the continent. Those people deconstruct at the nearest tower, right to the capitol and a counterattack is launched.
