Earlier today as I ended yet another game of RTIS, I pondered some on my final results and how I turned out as "a lawless space rogue" after reporting in to Major Brass and having received my reward. Only some twenty minutes later - I became an "arms dealer" instead and quite a successful one apparently.
This led me to became curious of these "career paths" that my pilot had taken. Are these given based upon your final score and way of ending the game (retired or KIA), or just some randomly scripted mumbo-jumbo? Because if not then I think it would be appropriate to
a) provide us with a list (in-game or here on the website) of all the careers - ranked from the worst of them to the most grand, to give you a little more knowledge on just how well you performed and what's even more important
b) write it out at the High Score list! Because IMO, that one looks rather boring when it's usually all just "Returned to Hope on time" with the occasional "Killed in action", followed by your score.
If you actually
have put some work into giving every pilot a somewhat unique ending based upon his success in space, then why not take it to the next level and actually make something out of it? Just like Sid Meier did with his Pirates; where half the fun with ending your career was to see where you stood once you sailed into a harbor and decided to retire. Did you end your life as a no-good swashbuckler, a wealthy merchant or perhaps even governor and just far away from the top were you??
Thoughts, hmm?
Retiring status dependent on your score and fate?
