hi tom, yeah that could be good fun.
i like both team play and standalone play. it all depends on my mood really, but the 1 thing that is a must in any game for me, or i should say 2 things, is 1, a massive area to play in, 2, something that will keep you going for hours at a time and won't simply come to a dead stop. although my favourite type of game as i've mentioned with core exiles that is persistence. i love a game that you can permanently keep building and building. i remember when i used to play x-tention, i would have hundreds of factories scattered across the universe, i would spend time setting up trading and resource loops between my final product factories and resources factories. i would have fighter craft escorting my factory transport ships which were hauling resources around, i would also bottle up pirate sectors by having 20 or so fighter craft on each jumpgate that would enter/exit pirate space. not to mention automated laser towers. setting up something like that would take months and months of gameplay. once i did it, it made the whole game so easy because i became the ultimate power of the game then it did get a bit boring i admit because anything the pirates threw at me i could counter with absolute ease but having said that, the time it took to set all that up was a challenge and enjoyment all on it's own. this is something sadly that no accessible game even comes close to offering and it doesn't. sad but very true. which is why a lot of the games that don't come out don't hold my attention for long.
