A idea...

A idea i had some days ago...

What about making a server, with a totally new universe, that upgrades every day with new weapons and maybe a new ship every month or so. You can request the building of a base here and then it takes a week, until a new base is built up on a speciall location. Maybe new systems can be found, like "B-67" i.e systems without names. If the server have a homepage you can have announcements there like "New ship prototype in the 'X' system" or "new base up and running in a day". You can also have competitions, "name the 'X' system and win the 'X' price' wich could be 'X' ammount of cash.

If someone could make a new program, then you could make it so that this program sends the new weapons or systems to the server 00.00 o' clock at X/X.

And if someone are gonna make this 'server', i can do the systems

Don't flame me if you think this idea su*k, i cant use the search function, nobody can

Sounds great... But everyone would have to update their version of the Mod Just as much as the server...Right

Not if you find a way to download the new information fram the server as needed... but how to implement the download... changing game files in the middle of gameplay would be slow... and have lots of problems.

You would also need to reboot the game after the update, as the game cannot update most files an incorporate it instantaneously.
