Last night, I had a dream I was the most talented and brilliant modder / programmer in the world, and I developed two new game modes for FSO. First, a RTS, where you get this when you get an Admiral Badge.
You command ships, and wings, and order them around. Then a FPS mode, that activates : When your ship goes BOOM, and you eject into a flexible, Armed mech suit, or save some cash, and just buy a Mech to go into a mission. kill ships for money, the bigger, more prioritised it is, more money you get!
In a mech, you could interact with all sorts of stuff. Grab fighters, and rip them in two, or hack them with your laser sword, blast them with your gun, or punt them into another enemy. Or, punch your way into a capital ship, and do battle with shivan mechs.
I also made a campaign to go with it, where you went onto a planet, and built / razed buildings to control it.
I want to have that dream again. Good night!
