Howdy Folks
Serious thread here. I was thinking about how I love this game and what could be introduced (other than more raiding stuff, races, classes, ie: everything else the other games do) and thought of these two things.
1) More Space Sim IE: X Wing Vs Tie Fighter. Yes, I know others have mentioned it, but I'm adding my voice to the chorus. Allow different models of ships, interchangeable parts, groups for players in ships, pvp battles, heck even have pvp controlled areas of space for certain resource planets.
2) Strategy Sim IE: Force Commander. I was thinking, since our characters are pretty high up there, why not have them direct entire fleet battles or ground battles. Instead of flying a star ship, take command of a fleet and control SQUADRONS of starships. Or, take the battle to the ground and mobiles ground and air forces for epic one on one battles. Maybe even mix up the strategy sim with players actually on the ground?
3) A third faction: Smugglers. Something to try and spread out the pvp numbers.
