we leave the programming to the devs, im taking class's for programming soon if i can offer to help in anyway please let me know, your game has a hidden potential that i don't think anyone has realized.
yea after reaching super late game colonization would be awesome, and you would not even notice it early game. besides the planets actually getting bigger and Waring each other, being able to bribe company's into doing evil thing for you sounds cool aswell.
Reciving messages from npc's? in the universe like someone has a mission for you etc, someone bought items from your stores or shops on one of your planets or astoriods , being able to make military bases inside asteroids and make ships with metals and other parts on factiory pads, set crews to ships, and make them explore within gas range and come back to refuel( you must provide fuel for your ships)bringing back things or dieing on planets, going to check it out for yourself or sending your top elilte team to check it out, using food stock to supple your planets hunger, giving actual meaning to having money or buying anything if its not to blow someone up with.
In all you start off as a solo gun slinger going on to controlling the universe its all up to how you do, ofc the politics in the game would have to be figured out difference races / uniting under one banner or being enslaved by you or other races and extorted out of there natural resources till they advance and over trow you if they can that is( by sending ships to land on a planet and start extorting or killing depending on the ships crews settings, so having a 50 man drop ship or a alien mother ship you give to a elite crew and make it enslave planets and sending your crews on missions or saving your own crews in space before they die of hunger or eaten by strong monsters, also using your crews to patrol your planets or order patrol of planets, having a setting to be friendly or hostile with pirates just in case you are a pirate warlord yourself, having different factions of pirates and a bigger map makes this sex on the beach
