The way Elite has developed, one day we might see interaction with (or ownership of) planetary industry. It started with a ship with very limited cargo capacity of under 1000 tons. None of that could be kept long term as we lost cargo with ship swap. With fleet carrier update players were given much larger cargo capacities, in excess of 20k tons, and now we can keep cargo indefinitely. We have means to collect and transport vast resources anywhere in the galaxy. When I continue this thought, we could just be traders, but also the next logical step could be about supplying planetary industry/projects through our means of storage and logistics.
To what end/benefit can we be supplying these industries? To help expand our corporations of choice within bgs, for personal monetary benefit, community projects? Squadron assets maybe? Privately owned industry? Creation of settlements? I’m curious what members of the community think on the subject. Should this happen in some form, or do you feel that Elite should be a game merely about flying a bunch of space ships? I’m also curious to know what proportion of people think the latter.
Fire away your wildest speculations. Lets start from a hypothetical assumption Elite gets another 10 years of development time, perhaps in a more relaxed form, than previously.
