But how about when a player builds a player headquarters he can then install or buy a pice of hardware in-game to attach to his player H.Q a lot like a ship has upgrades
This upgrade will be something like a long distance universe radio or something... in short... a live chat room....
so when you dock at your player H.Q you can then have an interface up where other people are connected and you just talk... about anything... get tips request help ask for information... and the devs/admins of this game can maybe directly connect it to this website so they can assist in-game via the chat or keep an eye on bad people...
Once you leave your player H.Q the chat room will not be there and you can continue your single player game... you can come back to the player H.Q and share your stories and such in the chat lobby to other people...
It's a simple way to connect people without having to have a real multiplayer in game...
Anwyas it's just a suggestion...
Good idea... and I am one of those that does NOT want multiplayer in the X universe... It would ruin the entire concept and reason that many of us enjoy the X universe... the ability to do our own thing on our own time at any time without some other person ruining it for us.
People that want multiplayer can always play Elite or Star Citizen, No Man's Sky or any number of other space games. My MMO side is in Star Citizen and Star Trek online.
But the X series IS MY offline go to series when I don't want to be dealing with PVP'rs, campers, griefers and pains in the ass players. There is no need what so ever for Egosoft to waste massive resources to re-invent something. The Franchise is because many of us who have been around since day one, stuck with because OF what it is and the game play (even with the one off X Rebirth side game).
Egosoft could always create a separate game within the X universe that is multiplayer I guess... but I sincerely hope they do not move the actual series and franchise into just multiplayer because, at least for me, it would be the end of an era...
Take it light.....
