It is called " Remote ops ". This might be inpossble but, here goes. I have been thinking about the game engine for Freelancer. Could it be possible to somehow remote-control ships. Now i don't bean buying extra ships and giving them orders. I am thinking of allied ships. You do something press a key, - to desktop and activate, something to let you give very basic commands like, Join formation with me and Go to my target. Like you are doing a level 21 mission and are at level 10, so you want to bring along a gunboat or patroll. Very helpfull with anti-stition missions. Or enemy cruise disrupters keep you from a jump hole ( Macking it take 40 min. ) Maybee help you through the omega-5 system? Or when you are allied with criminals, Orcastrate attacks, that would be fun. It should only work on nutral and allied ships, Maybee read from you're rep so you arent nutral with them Only becaouse of a mission. To keep you from sending enimies into the sun and stuff. Nattrally, Storyline mission ships cannot be affected. And the threat responve should not be alterd ( So you cannot tell some transports to follow you into the shadows and steal there cargo without any fuss, or rep-free target practice ). What do you think? Is it possible, something like this? I hope you don't close this thread or something. If it is impossible, than it just is just a bad idea. If it is unnacceptable then tell me and i will delete it. I don't see how though.
