Well, we have taken this into consideration, but it is difficult to foresee all possibilities of course. Wars will be regional (Xenon will try to take over all of the universe but that will be difficult for them). Split, Xenon and Argon government will be vying for Maelstrom. HOA, PMC, and ROC are vying for Albion and Devries (with minor factions like Reivers and Sovereign syndicate involved).Hector0x wrote:My guess is, that it will be a pain to balance this out. Maybe it's intended, but this sounds like someone will always be wiped out in the long run.
Dynamic coalitions of the weakest factions could preserve something close to an equilibrium of power until the player breaks it up. Of course this wouldn't match with the lore.
Best of luck with your project. Will probably install Rebirth with the beta
I do not think zones will change hands that often. The goal is to have zones change hand but very rarely, unless of course the player gets involved. The player will have to ensure that they are smart about it, making sure to build infrastructure and such. Factions will rebuild stations that get destroyed, there will be bumps in the economy, but that could mean opportunities for the player.
This could also be on a small scale depending on how you want to play the game. If you do not want to get involved in the big wars, you could try to remove one of the corporations and take over a certain type of business. Completely eliminate AES and build your own energy stations or whatever heh. That would be up to you, though.
