Cool would be:

•) More things in the station, i.e. a bar for meeting people (even NPC's, + Barkeeper telling the newest rumors) locally for hiring and missions and a blackboard for missions and that sort of stuff.

•) NPC Police that makes things illegal like fighting Itani when itany, fire weapons within a certain range to the space station (a fee, and police ships hunting you down)

•) A legal and military status for you for each of the nations, if you are clean or are searched as a criminal.

•) Real econony to make trading more interesting and not so easy profitable. Like every sector (+the planet there) needs a certain amount of goods in a certain time peroid, and they produce a certain value. Then the space stations can have a cargo limit (very high) and real cargo numbers, so stuff which is here in much quantities is cheaper and in less quantity it's more expensive. Plus if it the good is wanted or not.

•) Names from blue, red, gold to real nation names

•) mining with i.e. just mining laser which splits of cargo of the asteroids (valueable or not) and mining robots to place on asteroids, where you go every sometimes to get your ore.

•) more ingame stories, ingame information about stations, NPC rumors, ets.

•) something more RPG than CTF

•) extremely cool would be stations interior with pictures or even 3D!

•) bigger, and better ships, mainly ships for more person, like big transporters for smaller ships and stuff like that. So that one nation can buy a Star Crusader where 5 people are needed for steering, turrets, a bar and sending out the small fighters. (maybe different sizes from 5 people + 5 fighters to 50 ppl + fighters, like Wing Commander mother ships.

•) missions, missions, missions, like making transports, hunting people, transport of people

•) several goods should be illegal in the different sectors, so the smuggling is possible (with the danger of police catching you!)

•) a lot of Scanners for cargo, ore in the asteroids, etc.

•) build companies and even be able to buy and run space stations with an income or you have too high costs, so you must sell again :-)


If only some of that stuff would be integrated, I'd already pay a monthly fee from about 5-10$

by that the game is already great and makes a lot of fun! It runs quite well on my 17" 800 Mhz G4 iMac. Really smooth with high detail in 1440*900 16bit. Looks a lot better than 1024*768 or stuff like that in 32 bit and runs same smooth. Thanks for supporting widescreen!! That makes it a LOT better and more fun! I even had no crash ever of the game, not much lag and a very fluent, fast gameplay. It seems to be even G4 optimized, that it runs so fine, while looking so good. Very happy to have something like this for the mac!

Stefan

That's already been implemented - it's called Dynamic Economy.

"•) Names from blue, red, gold to real nation names"

There are already "real" nation names. Serco (red), Itani (blue) and Neutral (gold).

"•) something more RPG than CTF"

CTF is only temporary - and will be removed when the mission system, which is currently in the making, is completed.

Didn't notice that. When you create a char you just select the color, so in the Caracter Selection and info screens, also when you press "u", etc.

Everywhere just stands blue, red, gold, instead of the real names.

great! But why is it then still so easy to make big money? Can a nation buy a new space station and stuff like that?

greetings,
Stefan

Yeah, red/blue/gold should be replaced with the nations name... but 'Neutral Territories' would probably take up too much space on some places...

"i.e. a bar for meeting people (even NPC's, + Barkeeper telling the newest rumors)"

huh. wow. never thought people didn't pay that little attention... [Verdandi]You want a bar? *I* am the bar, sugar. Hell i'm the only bartender, waitress, and barmaid this sorry little excuse *sic* for a universe has got![/Verdandi]

It would do you well to bone up on your material, bud. I believe you'll find my menu in the RP section over there.

I think he meant something out of Freelancer, Verdandi... keep up the good work though. ;)
