Hello commanders
It is me again your friendly neighborhood Sky Marshall Vicktore Beskor of the Earth Defense Fleet.
And I would like to discuss where should game designers look for inspiration on certain game play mechanics. Now I feel there are some crucial mechanics that successful games have used over the years and there are some design decisions that can make a game enjoyable for a wide audience.
Some of the things that have to be talked about are social tools so that the players can communicate with each other. As well as be able to join together in a cooperative and a meaningful manner. As well as player interaction with the games environment. Like player owned property and how to add value to the property with out it impeding other players gameplay.
Now there are a lot of games out there that do this successfully and with some innovations that fit into it's cannon. I feel that there is room with in Elite Dangerous for these type of gameplay options. The question is how to implement them so that they appeal to a wide audience. Now after thinking about this for awhile now I feel that game mechanics like that were found in a game like Star Wars Galaxies could be a good fit in Elite Dangerous. They had the tools available to their players to have meaningful player groups as well as social tools that made it easy to interact with the community. Moving forward in Elite Dangerous in the years to come I would hope that some of the game mechanics would find its way into Elite Dangerous. So that all type of gamer can enjoy the 400 billion star systems with meaning and creativity.
Though some players feel they would not participate in some of the gameplay mechanics others would take full advantage of the ability to group together in a meaningful manner as well as colonize unoccupied systems bring new life and content to the gams environment.
I feel that giving the players the tool they need to create content and to interact with the games environment can only be a good thing for the game in the long run.
Thank you
