We should get a team PvP game going sometime.
the only thing that bothers me is how close together asteroids are...one or two factions can easily maintain control over them while the rest of us are forced out into empty space, either relying on trading with the fewer asteroid factions or raiding passing cargo ships.
if cargo ships were disabled, you have no real choice but to go in and either mine sneakily or join one of the asteroid factions.
what happens if the asteroids run dry, though? what if we can't produce more ammunition? would people start throwing ships and chunks of metal at stations to fight?
and then if the metal runs out? would people turn their starbases into ships and then jury rig thrusters onto it in one last effort to go out with a bang? or would everyone just fight with grinders and hand drills?
i'd imagine larger worlds or some sort of asteroid generation (even looping maps would work) would be needed to keep a more popular server up and running for a long time
correct me if i'm wrong on anything, i haven't played in a while
