Hi there players,
 I know this is never going to happen in this verison of the game, but I figure I would talk about it anyway.  
  See the way I see it mm should have make the facilities more like the WPs.  This way they could have allow research, intel, and a with other things to be in a comp to start off.  With this way of doing things, the cities/facilities would be closer to how real cities are and the facilities/comps would be like real builds.  This would also allow player to configure the planet more, always a good thing.  Lastly since the cities/facilities are like WP, now we would be able to just research lager cities to allow for more facilities/comps.  
This is just me think here, But I like to hear what you guys take on it would be.
