A new content related suggestion.
Me and a buddy talked last night about what kind of content would maintain long term interest in keeping on playing Elite Dangerous.
One of the things we discussed was sponsoring a station, maybe a new small station in the outskirts of known space.
To be a sponsor one would invest some credits to buy a share of the station, maybe 20 million minimum buy in for a share out of 5000 shares.
2 things would come out of a share:
Some small dividend or sorts from station trade. (one might have to make some marketing for creds to get more trade going)
Influence on the board of the station, according to amount of shares.
Suggestion for station from the board could be to build the station bigger and make a community goal to haul materials once the station is sanctioned for an expansion, giving traders a benefit of hauling for the station.
The expansion could be in 10 steps, each step demanding community goal haulage and marketing. I imagine a station starting out as the smallest station and then building a bigger station once the station is the biggest of the small stations.
The board should be able to promise bounties for hunting pirates in the system and maybe other types of missions:
The station would never be owned by anyone, only sponsored.
I imagine one could elaborate on what a board might be able to do.
This could give incentive to keep on playing and make some new kind of community goals, that really makes the Universe feel less empty and more full of life.
