Ideas Area
A Development Area for "Things"  for players to find or encounter. 
Targeted for possible inclusion into The Derelict Project.   It is NOT,  as yet,  a part of that Project.

The DP Leader and Core Member(s)  are invited to view and possibly include ideas from this area - but it is Administered by  Olly Harlow.
Do NOT send ideas for this Area to Greg.
Send them to me at

Greg's DP is the Preferred route for things   - but there are other possible "routes" ..

It is now open to everyone to comment, criticise or contribute!   Please do!

Please structure your comments about individual ideas? It makes things tricky for me to administer the various pages if comments are all "rolled together"  - thanks!
The Ideas
At the moment it seems that there are a few main categories - to my mind?

Treasure - free things to find that may be of value - or may even be detrimental - but are essentially captureable/destroyable and even constuctable by the player?   
(P)NPCs -  (Personality) Non-Player Character ships. These might occasionally be capturable - but must never be constuctable by players. These things should preferably be controlled by a NPC player or good AI
Ghosts  -read this Ghosts
Dopplegangers - personally I'd like some of the ideas to "look the same" to players, but effect things differently, so they don't know immediately what they're up against? They won't necessarily be used together in the same scripted game - but should provide a level of "uncertainty" as to what they're "up against"?
