What can be added to the galaxy?

More


Attaching a large mass so far from the center doesn't sound like a very stable idea :unsure:
It isn't but even Capital ships aren't all that massive in comparison to the station, and they could always pump something like mercury to the opposite arm to compensate.

It should be fun to watch though, a bit like watching ships landing on a high gravity planet.
 
I'd like new ships launched vehicles that can shuttle cargo from large ships to outposts and mining rigs that have an abrasion blaster and subsurface displacement missile launcher to get into those tight spaces when mining with large ships, also new options for the srv like speeder bikes.
 
While we are waiting for the next big thing in 2020, what can be added to the game's galaxy for us to find:

Comets
Proto Systems - systems where planets have not formed yet, or are in the process of
Rogue Planets

Any other types of galactic features people would like?
Proper common envelope stars.

any cool idea from star trek episodes. Easy source of inspiration.
 
What would be bery well that put a recourse systems where the commander before an expedition had to probe recourses to survive the estimated time. Add also a system of diseases that can be transmitted and treated and that we play some scare if we do not have a medication.
 
The ideas posted so far fall into several different classes.

Things that could be implemented easily, because they're already "in-game":
- Comets.
- Rogue planets / dark systems.
- Making rapidly rotaing stars oblate.
- A means of obtaining some or all of the various currently-unobtainable permits.

Things that can be added only with great difficulty:
- Ceres, Phobos, Deimos, and other planets or moons in Sol or any other star system that are inside the orbit of the already-existing outermost planet.
- Accretion discs, protoplanetary discs, contact binaries that actually contact.
- Variable stars.
- Landing on Earth and other Earth-likes.
- Landing on Earth's Moon.
- PIlotable megaships.
- New star systems.
- Moving a star system to a different place in the galaxy.

Things that will likely never be added, for technical reasons
- Irreversible dynamic events (supernovas, colliding planets, etc)
- Large numbers of new stars (eg. adding globular clusters).
- Making the stars in the galaxy realisitcally move or orbit around the galactic centre.
- Other galaxies.

Things that will likely never be added, for copyright reasons:
- anything stolen directly from Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly or some other famous SF franchise.

Things which might have already been added, as far as we know:
- Rogue AI civilizations (human or alien)
- Non-Thargoid, non-Guardian aliens (alive or extinct).
 
Information storage beckons so you can download all your mapping data. So you don't loos it all when you get blown up.
