Who can create one? Anyone. Broadcasting a community goal would cost 10 billion credits, which could split between a squadron. These credits are used as a starting reward pool for participants and greater rewards are earned as the goal is carried out. The prize pool is based on a cut of the pay cmdrs are earning turning in things like cargo and bonds and exploration data or whatever the goal is about.
The sponsor of the goal will get:
Probably squadron applications.
Gives squadron leaders a good way to actually get their squadron to do something (perhaps the goals could be set to squadron-only for a smaller fee)
Influence for their squadron's home system.
Maybe a favorable state for their faction?
Something else?
Other squadrons who might have a stake in the outcome of these goals would be invited to set up a competing goal alongside it, or if it serves their interest for the success of the goal they can offer an accessory goal. Ex: first goal is about trading agriculture equipment, an accessory goal could be bounty vouchers for the system.
The major advantages of this would be:
Bringing back community goals
Offering meaningful rewards for varied activities
Better control over background simulation
A novel method of advertising squadrons and building member counts
Helps form allies and foes.
Gives eccentric billionaires something to do if they want to blow their money on ridiculous and senseless endeavors.
