new idea for game, need some ideas for.....

[ian]

strangly sounds like Freelancer but without the humans fighting each other but yeah kudos for thinking of a new game heh not many space games around nowdays:)

anyway this could help with thinking of a alien name just link them up until you get one that you like the sound of:) you could also possibly base them off our own Mythology such as the Egyption/Greek/Norse gods (ala like Stargate) coming to take back what they once had or something

Pirates: what sort of pirate factions would you want to base them off? here are alot of "templates" that you could implement from real life (for example Gaians are hippies from the 60/70's of England, Molly's are sort-of like the IRA i presume, Outcasts/Corsirs is two different sides of the Mafia (drugs and smuggling) etc

i would also suggest some sort of all-house military or police, again taking from real life temples such as NATO or the UN
