If you are serious about this, you better start collecting donations ASAP. The additional benefit of this is the fact that it makes trolling much harder (see comments above).Īnother small idea: a "radio" outfit which gives you access to chat, and a much larger outfit that does not come with the default ships, an "FTL comms" system which allows to communicate with other star systems.Īlso, a bit on the technical side: which multiplayer model are you planning for? Because the most fitting one would be MMO, but it will be expencive to set up the servers. If there is no permadeath, I don't see a reason not to allow players to be pirates or anyone else.įleet size limit might be done in the form of "ship taxes" after you get some number, and the tax should be overwhelming. you could buy more at a bank OR you have to pay premiums. Maybe make lives work like insurance? i.e. Lives system(?): Start with an amount of lives lose them all and account gets reset, but can obtain more lives. Main ship dying in battle causes fleet to fight to death or flee. Players in the regular governments can't own planets, but are safer and easier to live. Pirates have fewer npcs and are more of a player faction, they own the planets and everything, but harder to be a pirate. Can join the other factions but not start as them

4 Starter factions: Republic, Syndicate, Pirate(?), and Free Worlds ie helping republic hurts reputation with free worlds / opposing factions. Reputation system: Gain bounty for being a pirate, and reputation with other factions based on relations. Limit player owned fleets to a few ships (imagine just 5 players each with their own fleet of unlimited size, now imagine 15 'd be a mess) Instead of players just being merchants let them be whoever they want Hmm you said, "players should only be allowed to be merchants", but then continue on to talk about players being pirates. If attacked ship is NPC, desert if its reputation with the player is positive.
If attacked ship is both player and criminal, don't desertģ. If attacked ship is both player and non-criminal, desertĢ. In the long run, it would be interesting to have a law enforcement faction of devs.ġ. If there are no other ships, the player should at least keep their bank balance (and maybe a compensation from the sector's goverment in the form of a starter ship?) IF a players ship is destroyed, they should have the option to make a different ship in their fleet the flagship. A "Union" system should be introduced which allows multiple fleets to receive each others information (like the fleet display, but for multiple fleets at once). There needs to be a non-hostile docking/equipment exchange system to allow players to exchange resourses. Some system of reputation should be implemented, and if a player goes below a certain level, they will be attacked by NPC ships and generally show as pirates. The players should be allowed to get NPC fleets as in SP original, but maybe they could desert if the player is attacking ships a lot to prevent trolling. Here's my five cents: players should only be allowed to be merchants, with an ambitient civil war going on and possible "support war effort" quests on either side. What do you guys want, and what are your ideas? Finding out what you guys think is the main purpose of this thread for now. (Starfighter Disputed Galaxy) The list goes on. Now that I think about it there was an MMO space game on Kongregate long time ago that's kind of similar. It could be exactly like Endless Sky or it could be on a smaller scale and more arcade like or it could simply be some sort of battle royale type of game with DM/TDM/etc and perhaps leveling and upgrading outfits. It could be a coop with friends or more mmo style. A new post or different person will be sperated with // Prepare for the longest wall of text of your life. Don't let the not 100% commited yet crush your dreams of MP because I will most likely be making something even if it's just a simple multiplayer. Make ideas - I haven't 100% decided to start development yet and it will be a while before I do because I want to finish other projects + I have to work and do life stuff.
