Space combat

ALright, I havce to say SWG space combat was a nice change of pace. if a design for an MMO ever comes about, maybe we should think about designing a space battle field.

What can be useful about space? Surely, you could manage to build your own vehicles and such. As good as that may be, you can also remember from Eve experiences that losing something you built for six months could be horrible. Interesting points of could.

A basic ship design.

-Upgradable parts which can be configured to power over speed, or speed over power.

-A system where death does not mean"Bye-bye ship." Instead, you have a basic shell of your destroied spaceship where you have to earn credit by fighting on the ground to repay your debt.

In all, the SPaceship can be a selling point, and if the controls and everything else comes along. We could see alot of nice stuff comming in. As well as benefits to ground units. Orbital Strike platforms and the possible addition of "super" resources.
