A ship... A crew... A big cosmos to fight and explore and trade in... What would you like to see in a science fiction RPG? Features? Skills? Plots? Ideas for weapons, alien races, cool places to explore? So far I''ve got: 1) Own ships and bases 2) Customize ships and bases 3) Bionics + wetware for characters 4) Real-time tactical combat with periodic pause feature (for the turn-based folks) 5) Buy low, sell high trading and secret trade routes 6) Money for alien artifacts, new planets, bounty hunting 7) Cursed artifacts and planets ("Za Ha Dun..." :>) 8) Reputation system for your character and crew that NPCs respond to 9) Random encounters in orbit, on planets, in buildings 10) Randomly generated alien empires that fight each other as you play The game''s going to be old school, in the spirit of games like Star Control 2, Planet''s Edge, and Starflight. Graphics will be 3rd person, mix of 3D and sprites (probably 3D for random terrain and ships). I''m a few months into planning and input would be great!
