Supporting = fixing modules\hull etc. Space doctors, similar to Fuel rats organization. Becoming a role of players. (having NPC ask for it)
Would be cool if the game had a system that exploits the surely already present fact that enemies know how our ships are made.
So even if what I just said is not really like that, it would be cool to be able to intervene in conflicts on the side of it or elsewhere to repair ships with our fitted properly ships, this is a role I would like to have not only fuel rat style (amazing emergent gameplay game designers should be GELOUS and GREEDY of) but also like going in war zones in conflict, yeah, and maybe entering a special zone or just being recognized and hailed by AI (and of course PLAYERS!) that know you are there to support:
So basically the role vulgarly speaking of a healer, shaman, as much as it is possible to intervene as in some cases stuff of repairing should not be possible but in shipyard, we agree surely on this,
so that our ships fitted with this could actually intervene to support (not only players.. which is something I guess already happens, besides those that auto heal themselves , during a fight... I don't know but leaving it a bit if not PvP where it is fight or escape for good I guess.. unless it's a cool cat and mouse situation ongoing)...
So the suggestion is to have a sort of system that allows also NPC to recognize we are there in support (we select the faction we are there to support or we can say also both .. and in this cases the system could lead one of the two to attack us POTENTIALLY! quite fun stuff outcomes\ complexity)
with limpets or wahtever to recover ships that are in bad status and that instead to go for a shipyard and come back to a fight taking quite some time, they can go to a sort of "pit stop" and get recovered and then ready to fight immediately with some bruises but wounds sanitized and engage again the battle.
Would be cool if this role was recognized by NPC too. (from a sort "hey.. can you fix this" do you have stuff) ...( this would create even new NPC .. like rarely .. can't be often! or it loses meaning: npc that are in bad status in the galaxy and they request for help...) or even sort of mission lines that lead us to find that there is a ship in distress and we want to salvage crew and ppl stuck..(All NPC)
Anyway this is just additional very cool stuff that such a thing could go very well along with.
In one Liner: the idea is to allow NPC to "read" we are supporters or even ask if we are capable to put them back in shape, have areas or "sensible" bubbles near conflict zones where such role could be undertaken... this could become (maybe it is already) also a praxis for PvP or anyway for PvE activities. Not necessarily dealing with warfare could be also going in support of people in distress in mining areas (or NPC that damaged themselves too much.. maybe in return they can pay 1 void opal.. or good reputation... u know what I mean for sure at this point.
