A concept

Well this will in all likly hood never hapein but I might make it.

What if we dismatled all of the systems in the game. then filled in evry single place we can put a system. (useing a 2d editer.) we would make them look natral and vary untuched by humen hands. This is were it gets good.

You make a single system in the middle kinda like newyork but it just has one base on it that your people would spawn on. Now these systems would have fields and such but nothing but maby nomads in some and jumpholes from place to place. empty only things humens didnt make. then maby once a mounth add things that people orderd from the admins useing game money. (got to find some kind of job they can do for the money.) people could buy bases planets based on clams and such. maby even sell the deed so to speek to factons so people would start complanys/clans/guilds what ever you want to call yours. (this could aslo be the only way u buy bases.)

This could soon turn out so cool just imagein. you meet a clan u never new existed (provided you dont look at the chat thing.) and find new systems with busy trade lanes but u never new about them. we could even slowly open the econamy by how the players settle. if a player settles in a gold field for the first time then he/she opens gold as a trade item that at first would be super valuable for its rareness but soon decline. there could be gains in war just change the facton that owns the base.

then guns and stuff. they could be made kinda like they would be in an RTS game. EX. in a game ur playing (an RTS) you can use the bow man untill you reserch the crossbow man. then you have a better wep. people could earn a certen point from the admins somehow that allows them to reserch better guns ships shields and such.

We could basicly make the game play out oover time. the econamy could change the world could change around you. you could see the rise of a super clan that starts a house nation so to speak. we could realy hid the jump holes to the new systems so that finding them could be a real treat. the system could make the clan money for the mineing and trade going trew it. (taxes)

As i wrote that i got more exited about it i think im gona make the systems many i can find an admin crazy enuf to go in with me and give it a try.

so what do u guys think about this idea.

Probably only feasibly with a frontloader.

Well one would have to find a way to do all this serverside so you dont have to release a new client verson evrey other day at times. but i know some people working on a way to stream updates to people in freelancer. (im not goona to tell you guys who they wouldnet like me to.) but just imagein how cool this COULD be if done right. we could do betas and such to work out kinks and find how people would work it.
