I just had a BRILLIANT idea to re-vive our beloved server... (!)
What I want is your feedback. Tell me if this is doable or not basically...
OK, here it comes...
I want to build a BIG STRUCTURE and just 'plop' it in a system without any announcement whatsoever...
Well.. maybe create some 'buzz' a couple of weeks before the actual implementation of the thing.
Now I'm thinking of a kind of "death star"-like structure. Maybe not THAT big, but big enough for light or medium fighters to fly INSIDE of it !
The insentive that I want installed it this structure is this : in several parts of the structure we shoud have "docking-rings", like on planets, or docking points if you like. I would like to plant SPECIAL ITEMS inside the structure... things that you could not find anywhere else... like... special weapons or equiment or trade goods that you can buy cheap (since only light / medium fighters can pass... there is no corrupting the market?) and sell at a high price...
Finally I want this structure (build by some ancient race... fitting the Freelancer storyline) to disappear as suddenly as it appeared.... and placed in another part of Sirius... giving hints and clues through certain channels...
So.... what do you guys think ?
To help you give me feedback, I chopped up my idea into several sub-idea's :
1) The idea of the big structure itself
2) The possibility to for smaller vessels to enter the structure
3) The idea of docking-points and placing interesting stuff inside the dockable "rooms"
4) The idea of moving the structure after a certain time...
