I do think that there should be other planets that would have hostile life on it, and that if they can, that they would declare war. Like maybe their base would have a special weapon in it or something. Keep putting this out there bro, maybe it will be in the game!
Support this idea. I always wanted to feel that something big happens in game's world even without players taking part in it. Large conflicts are one of most obvious and impressive examples of such large scale activities. Even if "large scale" means war between two colonies with but couple hundreds at each side.
I think that each planet should have its own; LEVEL, RACE, FACTION, and STANDING. Where you can have different factions on each planet of the same race. Where helping or hurting the NPC's deteremines your Standing. Where if you have a certain standing, you are able to interact with the NPC's in a certain way. Where your planetary standing does not effect other surrounding planets. UNLESS, your works become so Great (or terrible) that they praise you on many surrounding planets, or attack you on sight...
Thank you good sir! Im thinking of maybe a bar above each planet that you explore, that shows these stats. I hope this makes it into the game!
Great idea. On a small scale, a war in the same world is more than logical (resources, survival). But an interplanetary war would create a very interesting framework in which unfold. +1 mister
