Hello Devs.
I was scrolling on the Steam Forum, and saw a lot of people wishing for a multiplayer or Coop mode.
Then an idea jumped out in my head:
- A menu where we could build our own NPC dude. It would pick up our ship profile, weapons, devices and upgrades, it would give us some options to choose as an AI profile (a percentage between dogfight, dodge, flee, hide between obstacles, using missiles vs guns, etc...) to make it unique.
It could even add some unique text2speech phrases.
Then, the game could upload this NPC pilot into a database, through the game or through the GOG/Steam service.
Players could then pick up some of these pilots and add them to their game, as friends (NPCs that would spawn like Elek) or enemies.
Is it too crazy?
PS: Different AI behaviours could be found like blueprints in the game.
