Hi.
I think that Pioneer is getting more interesting now with new type of mission search@rescue. And it should be better with more missions type. Different mission types prevent game playing to be homogenous. It is necessary for long time playng, I think.
But some types can be problematic to be written.
Somewhere I have read an idea about satelits destoys. I think it can be more complex.
Satelits transport to defined orbit (becouse of agles informations on obrbit, it should be possible to be done without bug changes), stealing the satelite, destroyng satelite... may be some missions like service missions (repairing, refueling, orbit change). Or someting from it, what is easy to be written. But better orbit informations should be aviable for supports some unusal orbits (some eliptic orbits with defined perihelion and aphelion).
May be some inter-system pirates ship, in some systems without police control, some mafia, pirate ilegal startports on orbits or stations on asteroids and missions search&destroy.
Complicated to be done, can be some mission types patrol&defend some ship. It can be interesting for small war ships to patrol big transport ships like deep space miner and etc.
And may be some illegal activities.. like pillage starports, steal some value goods....
More missions types
Re: More missions types
Pirate stations are in my pipeline. Maybe I have time to finish that in the summer. Other than that, you're dreams are just a few hundreds of lines of code away. ;)
Re: More missions types
It is great information. :)
And what about mining.... like to park same big ship or ships to same system on orbit of planet without colonizatioun.... and sending materials to other destinations.... something like temporary startport :) probably without "fake" gravity. :) It can be aviable for a few years for examle of game time.
