Why don´t you make an online game where players can fight against each other online with there save games from TC , so you ex. could battle others with your one fleet and when you win you can take one or more of his stations ( resourses ) and transport it to your own game and use it for develloping new weppon ?
and you could make battle tv , ranking system ,
pardon my spelling

Well, PHP, I have to say that the X Universe Online has been talked about, and even planned on the dev forums, for years, but Ego is mostly a single player game and even though they say it will happen someday. The last time I saw it mentioned was something like 2018..what your asking for is literally joining fleets from your saves to an online universe, and I dont think its posible at all. Notice that other online games you have to choose a ship to use? Thats because the badwidth for having a whole fleet moving at once would be huge, and not worth it for them to open it to the public. The cost of managing a universe so big would make it too expensive to consider, and being able to choose from soemone elses resources to the winner would be explioted badly.
I hope to see X Online someday, but noone is holding their breath, its costly and completely out of the realm of what Ego has ever done so far.If it does happen, acording to some questions that were asked some time ago in dev net, they would have limits on what you could make, or how many ships you could own, remember in single player its all on your machine, but in an Online game we share resources, and noone could have a huge empire while someone else just putters along, it wouldnt be fair. I hope when they do it, they make it more realistic, the game now isnt, we can do anything, without big consequences, but in RL politics would make a huge empire nearly imposible, limiting how many stations you could own in a sector, or how many capitol ships they would sell you.

Yes this is a very good idea.
Another priceless thread on "Will there ever be an online-X ?".
Probably sooner or later there will be a sticky on this ...
Money is still the main issue,don't you know ?
