RANDOM SPACE TRAVEL EVENTS: It could be awesome if while using FTL to travle to other planets you will encounter event like: -Abandon Space Station (Loaded with enemies and loot...) -Hostile Ships (Enemies can raid your ship/Destroy you, or capture you and teleport you onbord and you must fight your way though to the enemy ship's control room to release your ship so you could escape...) -Friendly Ships (Can sell you stuff, And give you quests...) -Space colonies (Huge space station full of NPC vendors... Also maybe a NPC who sells space ships...) -Ship wrecks (Full of loot, Though there is no oxygen so you must craft a space suit...) -Distress calls on your Travel comuter (ITS A TRAP...) Also perhaps you'll be able to signal a distress beacon and you might also encounter one of these events... Of course some of these events can be ignored... But why would you Hope you like this Idea!
Actually a good idea. This would make the game a decent bit more interesting. I'd suggest allow the player to avoid encounters though. You CAN dock with the merchant, but maybe those merchants are actually pirate scum wanting to kill you and take your stuff? Let the player choose if they want to take the risk, so a player doesn't feel like they are forced into a bad situation they couldn't avoid.
