I had an idea for some new features.
1).Instead of just having a base you can turn into anything, it might be pretty cool to have base classes like a fortress class base, which looks different and serves as a fortress i.e heavy armour, numerous weapons that can fire at the same time and stuff, it would be nice to have some obvious differences with bases, like how they look depending on there class/role.
2). Prehaps a fighter station/drone? kinda looks like a runway with a little control tower, and it deploys fighters which the player has to stock the fighter drone with so you can choose what kind of fighters the drone deploys?
3). "Lawless space" - an area of space where the galaxys have no rules concerning anything, bases can be built in any of the galaxys, warp nav 0 required so anyone can go in and fight anyone (have warning signs outside the the gate to lawless space warning people)
4). Asteroid bases - cool little bases built into asteroids could serve as mining bases or hidden caches?
5). Capital Ship broadsides - as a built in feature for capital ships (earth force ships) they could have left and right broadsides which do physical damage, and should have a loud powerfull ripple of bangs as they shoot, little flame effects coming from the side of the ship the broadsides were fired from.
6). Capital ships should be lumbering giants (turn slow, accelerate slow) this would be cool because it would really give a good feel of big battle-ship style ships. i never liked seeing efbc's spinning around super fast.
7). Drone bill boards - Kinda like the signs in the training gal back on 2d star sonata, so teams can warn people about things in the galaxys ahead, or leave messages.
thats about all i can think of right now, what do you guys think? =]
