Some ideas I thought would just be really cool to see in a game like this. 1)Have planetary invasions! Like if I was an Avian I could invade a glitch home world or something. 2) customizable guards like have a tier system of what kind of guards your cities have. 3) Be able to claim a galaxy for your race. 4) Become a ruler! 5) Defensive turrets for your cities. Only they are limited to regions that are zoned as being a city 6) Zoning as in once you claim a certain planet when certain conditions are met as the ruler you can make zones for what sections of the planet are what. Like shopping district, tourism section, military etc. 7) Space stations, and defensive platforms. Obviously if you can invade other planets your planet can be invaded also!! 8) Build different ships! Like corvette, cruiser, battleship, frigate, mother ship!!! Just a few crazy ideas I dreamed up while playing this awesome game.
Woot I saw from the release news that chuckle fish hopes to implement a lot of ideas similar to these ones which is like super awesome sauce!
Your idea i feel is solid to many points. I would love for a small City Management to be part of starbound. Keep on playing and dont let the ideas run dry!
If I knew anything about modding I'd be modding up a storm. I like that Idea City management would be cool. It would be equally cool to have an interface on your ship to mciro manage things even from a distance.
and by interface you mean direct contact with the person in charge of the town while the emperor/emperess (AKA you) are away?
Maybe it could be an actual sprite, but I think lets say if you can upgrade your ship and you upgrade it to a certain point there would be a command console that gives you a direct link to the homeworld or something.
