One Idea i had was; what if we had some starship battles in space around a planet, the planet could have a station (which is the Orbital strike station). The fight works 3 ways:
1. the ships would fight one another in space
2. the ships would have a CC to hack, which means they could be boarded by enemy troops and would try to take the ship for their own/ or the ships could be destroeyd
3. your goal would be to take the orbital station for your empire so your faction can use the OS more often than the other groups
*INFO*
1. Each ship has it's own advantages in weapons based one their faction/they could only be piloted by CR 4-5 so not just anyone can fly these things. However the troops can stay inside to either guard teh ship or board teh enemy vessel/orbital station via a boarding ship (which would be a little like an AMS)
2.pretty much tells itself, the ships would have the same layout as a base (Spawntubes/Medlab/CC/Generator/etc)
3. once the ships in the area are gone the defender will be stuck inside the station and would need to use the stations gun turrets to destroy the enemy ships and/or the approaching boarding craft until either reinforcements arrive/the enemy is destroyed/the station is overrun and captured.
Once the Station is captured, your faction would be able to use the OS more often than the enemy.
But not all the planets would have stations, you could fight for other reasons like a chance to turn a completly conquered continant neutral so your team or anyone else could try and take it without having to destroy the Generator of a base. To do this you would need to first goto the planet, orbit, begin bombarding the planet for about 5-3 minutes at the most, then send your ground teams in to capture the planet base. The ship would not be able to defend itself while in planetary bombardment mode, so this would make it vulnerable to attack.
As for where you could get your ships, there could be another HART type building ONLY for the CR 4-5 to get their ships and go into space. They would get them the same way you woudl get a GALAXY, after purchase they can call their team into teh ships for security and when they have their team on board they immediatly go into space and can choose a destination.
tell me what you guys think of this idea, thank you
