I love all of the concepts. I have another one. When I played "Micro Armor" there was a popular senario called, "Kelly's Heros". The objective was to get into the town, grab the gold, and get out.
Everyone was armed.
The players were given or could choose thier weapons, (tanks, jeeps, infantry etc)
There was "radio" communication between players so deals could be made.
Players could (and did) attack other players
I could see the same within SE IV.
The SE IV Ver:
Either the "Game Master" could issue equipment or the players could build their own fleet based on a set list of weapons and on a set Tonage.
At least one ship in the fleet would have to carry troops to invade the "bank planet", Once this has been done the player would have to get back to their home planet with the gold.
I'm not sure how to represent the gold though I have seen "cargo" on planets I have captured intact.
If the gold carrying ship is destroyed by anyone, game victory is decidded by the remaing tonnage of each fleet.
I hope this is not Off Toppic. I see it as a variant on Capture the Flag.
