I have 2 main ideas in my head, and ive thought about them alot as to not break the game but im curious if it'll be recieved well.
1) DRONES
deployed drones similar to stygian furies that can be deployed for a limited time either on command or by meeting certain criteria ( pk streak, taking 50%damage, dying 5 times in a row, having full cargo hold, or empty cargo hold, repairing another ship, being repaired,undocking from cap ship, killing a certain kind of enemy, picking up a certain drop) that would give us something to add to our combat strategies.
2) STAR BASES
Give us more to fight over, how about stations that grant perks based on ownership. i.e. +5% armor (even with a negative like -5% top speed), a shield with 10% of your max hull that doesnt regen ever unless u dock with that station again ( my idea for unbreaking the shield idea from other posts), +10 top speed (-10% armor), +5% drop rate bonus from bots ( +5% damage recieved from bots). you get the idea i think. make them guild specific ownership, with up to 5 guilds being able to recieved the perk forming an alliance.
3) MOD port
this would probably be a lot of work, but if you added a new type of port that you could install a faction mod into that could only be won from a mission of considerable difficulty once you have achieved POS standing with that faction. Granting certain bonuses to the ship equipped with it. such as the perks mentioned above or similar. that only applies so long as you are 601 or higher with that faction. Making not only your nation color mean something, but also your standings elsewhere
4) standing functionality
id really like to see standing mean a lil something more than 'can i shoot you here' or "can i buy ships here". Such as being able to hire a small fighter squadron, being able to call for a rep, a hauler, or even a cap ship follower/transporter from that faction. a one time order of go there from here with this. or follow me for 30 minutes. Requiring you have either POS or respect, or even variable levels of support based on how high ur faction standing is. Make Nation support a real thing. but also a negative effect if ur hated such as, if ur disliked by tpg, and there is a station in the system you're in, then bounty hunters could jump in on you once a day. nothing serious if just disliked, but being HATED should warrant some serious action like an enemy goliath hunter could jump in on you once a day. Would really give an added level of strategy and awareness.
my inventive for the devs is simple, you could apply all these things to paid accounts, the support, ownership and benefits of starbases, mod ports ( or at lease the mission to acquire them). im a paid user and would love to see some content added. i know you're hard at work developing new cap ships and new enemies, and tweaking those unrat pirates. and that makes me happy too.
anyone elses thoughts are appreciated
