first thing first english in not my first language so dont be offended by grammar. As the title says, this is about cosmoteer taking the path on being a RPG game . but how would this work ? The concept will be like a game on a android game called space RPG if you know that game you will be thinking what im thinking . so, the player can take quest to earn some credits or to get reputation (what i mean by reputation is that player can be the owner of particular station where the player could be its owner with enough reputation) but ofcourse its space so i dont have to explain the mining system. then the online part .. there would be space police where this ship will intercept any player killing on its area of effect . space station will always have large area where pk is prohibited if pk happens space station will spawn tons of space police to eliminate the player who started the pk'ing.. and ofcourse space police can be hired if your ship is merchat class type or if the player have a merchant license . dont worry fellow merchants you only need one hired space police because it will automatically always call for back up even if the enemy is just a small pirate ship.But it will spontaneously call for back up if the threat is still not eliminated. and how about the players ? well they can build their own space station build a mining company or any kind of company if walt implement it, and they can build a small colony or a nation . players can build their own guards for their station . and players can have wingman or escort .. escort can mercenaries or a ship that a quest rewards you . (their should be no particular limits on how many escorts you can have because this would complicate if you are conquering another nation it would be a pain if you need to pay for how much escorts you can have right ?) and About the hired space police they can only call for 2 back ups if its just a corvette then it can call for 2 corvetter but its a destroyer it can only call for one destroyer . back up will replenish after you jump in another sector. thats all thank you .
