A New Space Empires Game Idea

[Atrocities]

I had an odd dream Last night that I was playing a new game based on Space Empires. It was a RPG, alla Dungeon Siege style game play but crossed with SEIV technology and characters.

Basically you were a player playing a RPG quest game and you could recruit other members for your team to help you find the lost artifact. Along the way you would journey to planets, buy star ships, upgrade them, do battle in space, land on planets to carry out your quests, and gain material to sell and upgrade your weapons, armor, and so on. Do battle on planets, in space, and on bases and ships.

You could board enemy ships and take them over, steal cargo from ships, and have tactical combat similar to Star Fury.

You create your character, and of course it will gain experience and improve over time. There was a Phone scientist in on my team that instrumental in discovering how an ancient weapon worked. A Xiati engineer who installed the device on our ship, and of course a few Eee for sport.

Ok it wasn't all in the dream, but it was an interesting dream non the less.

Basically you would be combining aspects of DO with SEIV with Star Fury and adding in a hell of a lot more content.

Think of the scope that a game like this could have. It could literally go on and on and on. Unlimited character development, quests, ships, team members, etc.

You could buy drones, droids, better ship, planets to put your loot, etc.

For the love of God Aaron you should really consider making a game like this before someone else comes along and steals your thunder.
