just putting feelers out to see if this sort of thing would be of interest to anyone.
i was thinking of creating a sandbox-like game based in space. there would be a central location where the characters would start out: a large space station (think something like Knowhere from Guardians of the Galaxy) that also serves as a huge city. from there, characters can do anything someone can do in a city, as well as rent/buy/steal/stowaway/whatever on spaceships to travel to other worlds. there would be a number of worlds, both player and mod created; faster than light travel and wormholes would make it possible for characters to travel to these other places fairly quickly.
there would be some mod events and a plot to keep things moving along and give players something to interact with if they choose, but players could also play out sol stuff and ignore the plot. player created plots, locations, aliens, etc would be highly encouraged. there wouldn't be many mod npcs and those that existed would be there solely to provide plot, not to act as characters in their own right.
applications would be minimal, with more focus on samples than personality sections. ac would be low (like one post or 10 comments in a month), though there would be activity rewards to encourage activity and squatting would be discouraged (missing ac would result in a strike, if a player missed ac again during the next month they would be removed from the game).
players would have significant independence to create whatever they wanted and to affect the game setting (life on the station could be improved or diminished, wars could start, planets could be destroyed, etc). example: if you wanted to have your character start a space pirate group and rob other characters' ships, you could do that, you'd just have to coordinate with those players, mod permission would not be required.
characters from all fandoms and age groups would be permitted. no fandom aus, craus, or fictionalized versions of real people would be allowed.
does this sound like it would be interesting or is everybody tired of space games?
