Well, after some consideration and reading your posts I would suggest we add a 4th faction to the game. An Alien Empire of some sort which is totally controlled by a AI. I can think of many alien races from games and movies which could act as a simple blueprint.
We have our insectoid alien spieces (K'luth) so I would suggest either a humanoid race or something rather different, like the 'Shadows' in Babylon 5.
Since there are hours of the day when there's very little players online/activity in MV I also would suggest you base the AI-factions activity on how many players there actually are in MV at the moment. This way we don't have to wake up and find ourselves eradicated from MV without any planets left.
The background story for this faction would be rather simple, like they discovered our corner in the universe and now they're just simply want our resources bla bla.
Of course, this will mean the MV has to grow somewhat cuz I really don't think todays MV will be enough to harbour this new faction aswell.
Also, think of how many competitions the Devs can create from this:
- Shipdesign
- Textures
- Background story
- Unique equipment etc
I don't know about the rest of u, but I for one likes when there's new ships and equipment to fiddle with and to find out if they suits you or not.
Anyway, I would like some feedback on this. Especially from the devs, please.
Regards,
/Tzunamii.

@Drunk1, I hear ya. but Alot of people are here because there is a utter lack of anything better. EvE, is the only other thing that comes remotely close to DS, but the combat Leaves much to be desired in my view. I am the type of person that needs strategy and tactics with the fell of the helm at my command. This Level of Play has yet to be achived over in EvE. If Faustus wanted to let DS die then im sure he would stop taking your money.
Drunk, if theres a game out there that you would like to enlighten us all on please feel free to do so. But man untill then please save this for your own posts or another Thread, cus some of us like to dream. So get out of the pool if you wana pee..
