Inspired by Tie Fighter

[Merovingian]

I do a lot of solo gaming so my suggestions are with that in mind but I also think this can work cooperatively as well.  

 

Mission of the day or week:

 

When you accept a mission of the week you can enable or disable it at any time within the week.  When you enable it, the mission will load with whatever is included for the mission (A certain type of ship, etc).  This is a great way to not only learn about different ships early on, but also a great way to earn xp/gold.  This is inspired by Tie Fighter.  In the game I had certain missions and was given certain ships to perform tasks and lost them when the task was over.  Escort missions, rendezvous missions, I had a particular ship with certain cannons, etc. I would also like to see delivery of goods from one port to another.
