It's actually an announcement that the players are the Vanduul and we're fighting against the evil human empire in an attempt to stop them from wiping out all other life forms.
A ship that can temporarily "stretch" or "widen" a jump point to open up smaller jump points for bigger ships, or make big jump points bigger for huge ships that couldn't normally fit through any known jump point. That would have major military tactical applications since you could fit some huge super weapon ship through, or some mega carrier/dreadnought. At the very least it would have economic benefits since you could dilate a small shortcut jump point for a huge freighter to save time and money.
a ship that could shut down jump points would be even more potent, strategically speaking
I had thought about a ship component that would replace a shield projector and was a modified shield that would act as active camouflage that would cloak you at the cost of not having a shield to protect you. It could be something like a modulator that you could put in an upgrade slot on an existing shield. My idea is that it's a shield that's been modified to block the spectrums of radar, infared(heat), the EM band for electronic signatures, and absorb the visible light hitting one side and emit it on the other side as if it passed through you. It would block those bands of wavelengths like an energy weapon being shot at a shield, so it would drain the cloak when someone is trying to scan for you while their radar for example were hitting you.
Hey kid, wanna come down and scavenge this Vanduul plaint? All the ships float down here.
I hadn't thought of that, that's just as big of an advantage. Well, if it can stretch it, it could possibly pull it in and close it. You could close it from one side to keep the door shut for an advancing fleet that's attacking. They can't attack what's a million light years away. Best system defense ever.
A tugboat/tow truck ship. It has powerful tractor beams, big grasping arms, and big powerful engines and quantum drives to pull other ships and transport them.

Lag switching ship so you can suddenly appear anywhere in the verse only one will be sold and that will goto virtualace for all his hard work and dedicated pad camping.
I can't wait till we get capital ships in the game so we can pad camp him with a broadside of capital guns.
From the reports of 3.0 pad-camping will become pointless when multiple spawn points appear... How this will work with the Perma-death mechanic is unknown. If i'm being camped and have to spawn on the other side of the system i have to expire to get the spawn option which brings my number of potential respawns down if they are limited, which PermaDeath suggests they are...?
Maybe we'll get three free 'spawns a day and after that it'll start counting?

Didn't know they were going to a permadeath deal. If you permadeath what happens to all the ships on your account? How do you continue to play?
When you die, your heir gets everything, minus about 50% of your reputation, or so I understood from watching them talk.
I want a space version of a auto hauler car carrier. You could strap down 8 Auroras and transport them to the dealership. Or Operation Pitchfork.
You think we could get a ship that looks like a Freelancer, but then gets down to the surface and turns into a Gundam/Mecha/Zord giant robot-thing for cool land battles?
