Better map interaction

[pbhuh]

I think we need better map interaction.

I know the easy way of just going orbit to do missions and things, but I think it would be awesome if we could have some normal human interaction on planets, instead of having to go orbit to do kill missions, why not just be on the planet surface and by scanning the mantis you can select a way of accepting a mission where you kill them. Or an ore transporter that you can scan to get a mission to protect it. Some interaction on the planet surface would be much better then first having to go orbit to select missions and traveling back.

Souns good.

Heh how about if there would some kind of beacon or hub for each enemy rank area? From those things you could take missions for that area and when 1 area is done you just move to next.


(Only thing I wonder how would these ideas work with squads...)

I like your idea too,

now you could have an area with a pirate that asigns you missions, but it will be easier to accept missions because the pirate is there and if you complete one you can complete the next one too. Every area has another pirate being there.

for squads you could make it that only the squad leader can accept the mission.

New idea: Interactive Buildings

These are buldings you can find on the map, which you can scan for special functions.

* Team-Up Beacon: Here you can create and join squadrons on the map, but only short range of the beacon.
* Repair Hangar: Repairs your ship for energy if you get close enough (same as hangar) but only every 5 minutes.

I can see this idea working if done by SS right. Only thing I can think of that this could take a small dive from is if a pilot passes by a mission and doesn't know it. Maybe a small notification like a radar or something that indicates that there is a mission near by would be best. Heck, that could be an upgradable item for ships, like armor; The better the upgrade, the better chances of being notified of a mission and how much info is given about the destination of the mission/npc. This could be a great addition :mrorange:
