Wish list for patch/SEV

[orev_saara]

Well, I couldn't find a thread for this, so I'm making a new one. Hope I'm not just retreading old business, but I had a few ideas that would really improve SE, for me at least. They mostly have to do with modability.

1) Instead of having a new line in compenhancement.txt for every conceivable thing that a mount might do, it would be more efficient if they were ability based:
Ability 1 := Shield Percent
Ability 1 Val 1 := 25
Ability 2 := Tonnage Percent
... you get the idea.

2) Definitely an SEV thing, but how 'bout some kind of actual orbit? Satellites orbitting planets, planets orbiting stars, etc. Maybe even stations and satellites that can increase/decrease their orbits? I guess it could get complicated.

3) Acceleration? Velocity? Vector-based kinematics? I know I'm asking for the moon and the stars here, but it'd be REALLY cool!

4) An end to weapon platforms? Sorry, WP-lovers.

5) Fleshed out ground combat? Planetary geography? Alright, alright, I know. I'm going crazy here, but I can dream can't I? Surely, ground combat could be a little deeper? Sigh.

6) Moddable resources. This may sound like a nightmare to some, but I'd like to be able to keep track of titanium stockpiles and crop yields. Maybe I should become an accountant?

Whatever, that's enough for now. Comments?
