Summary0021624: Astro Trains as Third Party
DescriptionIt seems that the very concept of Astro Trains are some sort of vessels that were suppossed to assists defenses and assault fleets, bring materials or ammo closer to frontline. As far as it is specific infrastructural network it should not be necessarily belong to AI.
So I propose a slightly changed concept of Astro Trains. By default they can belong to AI, but player wil be allowed to hack an astro train station for 20-40 Hack points, and any or the train which will arrive at this system will be friendly for player inside this system. So trains won't be owned as entity, but wouldback the owners of a station.
This will bring some unexpected bonuses in offensive or defencive operations and much more variety and deepness.
Capturing of station will rise AIP by 10, while destruction of that will decrease AIP by 5.
Keeping all of that with possibility to rob the train as in the current state, this option will make Astro trains quite noticible strategic targets.

P. S., also, if after release in winter we will have not only coop, but competative multiplayer as well, we will have a quite interesting game feature, which will make gameplay diverse.

If you want that, use StarKelp's civilian mod.

Multiplayer is targeted for the summer.

Competitive multiplayer is not going to be a balanced mode at all. You can use it, but it's intended more as a "for fun" thing. There are architecture limitations that will affect PvP mode that are extremely unlikely to be resolved.

Cool idea, but definitely I'd recommend Civilian Industries. Cheers!
