Just an idea for later, but how about a space pirate RP? Like Merchants vs. Pirates, except in outside loving space.
Merchants build an established trade station and ships to defend it, pirates come in and ransack the place with their space fighters from a mothership/pirate base somewhere, possibly do other pirate things like get drunk, and then leave once all the booze is gone. They'll come back for the next shipment which poses the question as to why the forget the traders keep ordering that stuff in the first place but whatever.
Being a merchant will have some advantages, like being able to buy low and sell high or something. Being extremely sophisticated while driving space trucks, eating at fancy places, etc.
Being a pirate will be pretty cool too. Able to fly around in stolen ships with paintjobs on them or ships made out of other ships stuck together, bar fights, possibly boarding parties and disco parties. Space wenches and booze, everything is always better in space.
Just throwing this out there though.
