Suggestions / Re: Freelancer option
« on: March 09, 2020, 08:34:27 AM »The freelancer mount and blade mod is one of my favorites, it allows the player to join an npc army (or fleet in this case). I think it would work amazingly in starsector as well. This could add a nice early game option and a new rp path. You could slowly earn creds, experience, relation with the admiral, and relation with the faction. As you level up you might have the option to upgrade your ship hull and loadout. You could rise through the ranks of your faction, and perhaps eventually be offered your own command.Most of this already kind of happens if you take a commission with a faction. You can do this by talking with a station commander or similar characters on the colony screen. You get regular payment, payment for destroying enemies, and your relationship improves rapidly from such. You gain the ability to buy ships and weapons from the miltary market depending on reputation. The only thing missing is being offered your own command, but that wouldn't gel right with starsector. Aiding a faction in another fight without a commission increases relation with that faction as well.
