Time again, to let everyone know my current priorities...
1. Trading - I plan to start on this tomorrow. Basically, this will be very involved, but I don't really think it will take more than a week before we'll begin testing. Planets will have real needs and consume certain goods at different rates. A good example, is all planets will need food to sustain the population, the higher the population the more food needed. This means terran planets will become a prime source of food for a star system, thusly players can make good amounts of cash by hauling food out to the barren mining planets on the outskirts of the system. Additionally, StarPorts will be a new structure that can be built. StarPorts will automatically launch freighters carring goods from one planet to another, meeting requirements for goods when no players are available to transport those goods. All in all, I've got a pretty hefty design spec'd out for this, and I'm REALLY looking forward to getting this into DarkSpace.
2. Ship Refits - Once trading is implemented, and players can make money, how to spend their money aside from increasing their prestige becomes the next question. Players will be able to orbit any friendly planet, and upgrade components of the ship using their hard earned cash.
3. Missions - important to increasing gameplay in the MV. Missions will generate automatically based on conditions in the game.
4. Metaverse bonuses - Awards given to players when a star system is completely taken by a faction. Like the scenerio bonus prestige, except for the metaverse.
5. Metaverse events - Events that occur in the metaverse will be posted into the web site. Additionally, when clan planets are attacked or invaded, a message will be sent informing the clan their planet is under attack.
6. Profile improvments - Option to have offline messages emailed and more.
