Does something like this exist...?
I'm lookin' for a MOD for Freelancer - I'm very new to Freelancer, but think it *might* be a capable engine for something like this...
The premise is simple, a multiplayer mod with the same basic idea as Stock Freelancer (do whatcha want, when you want) - but with the ability to build, own, and defend your own part of space....get enough cash from doing whatever you do to earn cash, and eventually build your own space-station. If you're worried about other players attacking it, build Weapon Pads and perhaps hire fighter wings to defend it? Maybe even going as far as to let you buy ships/equipment to stock in your station so other players can purchase them, thus giving you a source of income? Maybe be able to hire miners or convoys as another source of income?
Not sure of the engine Freelancer is built upon could handle this - I know it'd be pushing it...but often times it takes just one person that thinks outside the box to open up a world of possibilities in an engine that others never thought possible....anyone know somebody like that?
.
I have NO modding experiance with FL...I have done a bit for other games (Battlezone II, Jedi Knight II), but was wondering if there was something like this in the works, or if not give some talented modders an idea.
So, if you wanna do it - go for it. Go ahead and toss me an email at: [email protected] if you would like more ideas on it...some more complex than others...some probably easily done. I have the problem of thinking up (what I would thing would be, at least) really neato mods, but not having the ability to carry them out myself.
