This is a fantastic idea, just think you could bring into the game , Energy shields, Droid Defences ( float around craft), fighter crafts launching form a Mothership, Base Defences that are actually used in game ( and controllable) alien Defences when attacking there bunkers, suicide runs for damaged craft, atmospheric conditions, Space battle , water battle, Mars, attack crafts that have landed EtC
I am just bummed out that i am stuck studying now as its less time for Mods...
I think this would be the best time to start introducing HD graphics as then everything can stay on a 1x1 location but you could be more zoomed in to see more detail of the craft.
