Space Based Combat

[Nazraith]

Has anyone recommended a space based combat area?

I was thinking you could have space stations, orbital artillery platforms, solar power arrays, asteroid mining rigs, etc. that can be conquered for your faction. This could be used to determine if a faction gets orbital bombardment options on the planet, plus new resources, etc.

Combat could range from space dog fights to fighting inside for control of the orbital assets. You might have to limit the oxygen available for ground troops, but you could add skills that could increase this or equipment that would allow you to withstand space.

What are everyone else's thoughts on this?

It's been talked about, but I wouldn't count on it, even a long time down the road. They need to focus on getting the Auraxis content out there before anything else happens.

I agree that it won't be done anytime soon, but i think a long time down the road (maybe a couple of years) it probably will happen. After all, it's just another type of "continent", it wouldn't be much harder than making regular continents which they are planning on releasing on a somewhat regular basis... plus it's something a lot of people are interested in.

i don't think this'd be something that came along anytime soon... maybe after a year, or something. but not anytime soon...
it's a pretty good idea.
+ a little support.
