Hi , I was thinking that it would be cool to introduce special characters into the game , and how they would work would be that every ship can pick 1 ( once you do a certain task , or complete something or whatever ) . Now there would be a list of characters to choose from , and maybe an arti to change them if you want to try a different one ( perhaps a gp cost ? ) . Each one would provide a bonus to one aspect of your ship or planets e.g. :
( now I'm rubbish at this sort of thing so be warned lol )
Skar , konqul general : pvp attack up 5 %
????? , taltherian artificer : reduces ability cooldown by x amount of hours
????? , vygoid sage : bonus to research from scientists up 5%
Also there could be ones based on profession e.g. :
????? , master Biologist : planet population up 10 %
????? , master excavator : arti up by 5 %
And there could be ones from the npc faction like :
????? , terran outsider : mining up 5 %
????? , dark smuggler : ships upkeep down 5 %
As an example I could be a Konqul Fixer , with the ????? , master excavator special character so I would have the attack bonus ( Konqul ) hull bonus ( fixer ) and an arti bonus ( special character ) . Which would make a pretty descent combination , what do you guys think ?
sorry I could not think of any names for my special characters
The Difference is these would provide another Different less powerful bonus to one aspect of your ship . Your race gives you 1 bonus , your profession gives a 2nd , and the special character would give you a 3rd less powerful bonus .
