I thought about this some more and came up with even more dynamics for this.

Start with the 3 basic stats of the ship: speed, maneuverability, and defense. Each faction ship starts with level 0 for each of those stats. To gain a level, they must perform role play and resource gathering to conduct the research required to reach the next level. Each level if harder to get to. Each level can be a % improvement of the previous level (5% as an example).

I'll use Liberty for example, since I'm 'Murican. Liberty Navy wants their fighters to be more agile. They will contact Ageira to perform the research. Ageira will begin the role play to conduct the research while also contracting USI to retrieve the required resources to perform the research. When the role play and resource gathering is complete, they gain a level.

Each level gained must be maintained. So, role play and resource gathering (to a lesser degree) is required to maintain a level. Each level is, of course, harder to maintain.

Thoughts? Pros, cons?
