What would be cool...

from StarControl Forums

What would be really cool is, if you could take abilities from the alien ships you have access to and add them to a main predecessor ship you have, not the human ship but have it be a component that can be swapped on or off. Then there could even be dead races where you could find components to add on to your main ships as well... perhaps some compatibility issues where you would have to explore and find or research being able to equip that technology. Maybe going into some other multiverse / parallel universe and explore. perhaps even one day be the cause of why the predecessors exists, even left or what they are preparing for.  

Anyways, i'm just thinking about end game play as well... its unfortunate that with most games, when you get to the end, there nothing else to do, in most, when you get to the end its over. I would love it if you could start over but have a little bit of a bonus to what you did prior existence/parallel universe... so this second time around its a little easier (because of a minor racial bonus or something). anyways... I would love other people thoughts as well

I believe this is in the game already - you can swap out the nose of your ship for noses that look strongly similar to the other races' ships in game. Not 100% confirmed that's how it will work, but the signs are there.

THAT BEING SAID - it's a brilliant idea to find long-dead races hidden throughout the galaxy, and maybe following a questline to its completion would grant you a new nose the galaxy hasn't seen in a million years. And THAT would be awesome!

I read this second paragraph first and thought you were talking rhinoplasty...

Perhaps we are responsible for resurrecting one of these dead races though finding there DND, and causing a big problem in our multiverse... one that the predecessors saw ages ago and where enemies with. They stopped them before some type of galactic apocalypses happened. But, now we are the cause of re-introducing them into our galaxy and causing a big mess.

This is in the realm of advanced RPG. Star Control isn't even RPG.

I do like the idea of random "one off" ship enhancements that are strewn around the universe, so that we can occasionally find them. Since it's a set (not random) universe, that info would get shared so once someone finds one, everyone has access to it of course, but that's OK, it would still be fun looking for them. That would bring back the feel of StarCon1 where you would find precursor enhancements which you could apply to ships in your fleet. That was awesome, and something I missed even in SC2.

^ Who are you asking? If me, than w/e I quoted part. I don't see SCO to have a complicated quest engine.
