Hey Pilots,

I have an idea for the game how the Trader and Miner can get more involved into the war between the different factions and make their work more important for it.

The stations should first produce the things that they sell (weapons, power cells, mining beams, ships..and so on).
To produce them they should use the different ore´s that exist in the universe.
For example: if an ore for a weapon is missing the station cant produce it. So a Miner have to mine the Ore that is missing and bring it to the station (or a Trader take it from another station which have enough of this Ore and deliver it to the station)
...and then the station can start to produce the weapon.

To produce better weapons, power cells, .... more Ore (or rare Ore) is needed.
The rare Ore should only be found in more dangerous areas(mostly with hive presence...or enemy players) so you have to fight and defend the mining ships of your faction.

The cost of production for the different things should not be too cheap (and maybe it takes some time to produce them) so that the Miner and Trader often need to deliver Ore to the stations and the stations never have far too much of each Ore.

As well the stations should notice when an Ore is missing and offer a mission to the pilots to mine that Ore or to deliver it from another station (the stations must know which station has too much of an specific ore).

I know that this would be a big change for the game and it takes much time to implement it...
but i think its a very good Idea to involve the Miner and Trader more into the war and make them much more important to win the war against other factions!!

Thanks for reading my suggestion ;-) What do you think about it?

Greetings

Sry.. This is the only topic I found that is similar to mine.

A total redistribution of ores, and the adding of new, rarer ores, is Coming Soon. This will be tied to an economic redux and the addition of crafting, which are also Coming Soon. They will be loosely tied to a faction system redux, which is (yes, you guessed it) Coming Soon.

And some time after that, we'll be able to land on planets. Only after that will we be able to buy capships.

Okay that sounds good thank you :-)

when will we be able to buy planets? Or disclose that we at TGFT have been doing it with Ecka's pocket moneyz for a bit behind the scenes?

"And some time after that, we'll be able to land on planets. Only after that will we be able to buy capships."

<sigh> Once again you have it ass backwards Dr. L

First we buy capships, next we get to run around on stations with laser pistols, AND THEN we get to land on planets :p

Let's just see which happens first, rhino fluffer.
