Y'know, I watched Aliens the last day annnd,
Deep Space Mining Please! What would be truly AWESOME would be to have a MASSIVE mining rig. Like, way bigger than a T9. Im talking something we can put 2 ships IN. A Medium and a small. Or 1 big ship hanging underneath (That Dropship "Hang on tight" flying through the storm scene) (Edited)
Something that is monumentally large. That could also act as a player base.
And they would be "Discouraged" from the Bubble. (Edit) Well, anyone suicidal enough to stay in open or solo in the bubble in one of these things would deserve it.
Having 2 docks allows other players to rest up and maybe do some minor repairs on a DWE or something. You could head out into the Galaxy for months or years at a time, exploring and mining. Then come back with a full load of high grade Ores. And offload them using the smaller ships. (Edit) We need a Cash sink IMHO. What with all this extra cash floating around.
EDIT: Cash floating around= New mining system
But there is also this: At some stage the new mining system is going to be nerfed. It SHOULD be good, but not THAT good. There are also balancing issues that need to be addressed. And it kinda makes sense that the really valuable stuff should be hard to find, or distant. The further, the more exotic. New players could hitch a ride, and make some money fast. (Edit: All elements have been discovered, blah,blah blah - Dude: Build me a warp drive or Guardian tech. Meta alloys anyone? Maybe floating Umbrella poop is AMAZINGGGG!)
There could be scenarios where mining rocks near some of those new aliens can cause problems...Maybe you need NPC Soldiers on board? To Nuke something from Orbit?
Others wouldn't be able too see where you are on the Galmap, but perhaps other players could listen on the DDS for radio chatter. Which means that maybe roving gangs of Pirates might catch up with you.
Any Takers? [smile]
