A game that allows you to fully customize your own starship, as in thousands of sort of modules to use to build it. You would also be able to hire crew members and go into a first person mode and walk around your starship. So you could visit the engine rooms or go talk to your first mate (crew member names would be customizable). Also you could explore a randomly generated map of the galaxy or even universe and send patrols onto planets, and explore them and even build bases on them! (Again using thousands of modules). Also, there would be a factions system, so you could choose your sponsor faction which would give you different benefits (so being part of the USA space program would have different benefits from being part of the SpaceX Program or another country's space program. Also you could choose to be a privately funded expedition which would mean that you would have a highly varied amount of funds. So government funded programs pay better, but you have less freedom in what you do, while private programs are less well funded but you can do almost anything. For government funded players there would also be classes, so being part of the military would give you more weapon technology, while being part of an exploration program would give you more science based modules. There would also be a political aspect, so semi-finals events would happen, like a new leader comes into office and decides to cut your funding.You could also mine resources from planets and sell them, or make contact with alien races. You could have a trading fleet, or you could conquer planets, or even just explore! That is my idea game.
