Subset Games Forum

There are some things I would like to see. I want to be able to customize a ship at the start. The reason I keep going back to games like Dwarf fortress is the customization and sandbox feel the game has. Give ships a starting scrap to hire a crew and buy and customize a ship. I would also like more goals. Defeating the flagship is fun but I would like to see some variety. How about a pirate theme where instead of being chased we are on the offensive. Each sector has a set of goals and the longer it takes to completely route the pirates from the sector the harder the next sectors will be. You could have a colored graph on the sector map similar to how you see the rebels chasing you on the current star maps except this one is pushing across the sector map from right to left. Each time you liberate a sector it pushes back the advancing fleet. Take to long to liberate a sector and you lose more ground then you gained. You could make certain sectors worth more than others. These are just some of the things I have thought about. I am sure I will post more as the game evolves.
