The basic idea is quite interesting. However, I think you do need to consider a story-line of some kind.

Oh, we're definitely going to have a storyline, Martin. I didn't mean to imply that we wouldn't; each major power will likely have two campaigns attached to it. What I am saying is that our storyline won't be like the Nova one in that it won't cause the war to end and cause massive map changes; I think that's a little unrealistic. Despite the proclivities of fiction writers, one person just usually doesn't have that much impact. The map will change - some systems will join one regime or another, one of the secondary governments might change, etc. - but it won't be drastically altered as it was in Nova when the Rebellion ended because little ol' you clicked in the right place. 🙂

This also will allow us to have a larger map initially, as we won't need as many duplicate systems for universe-changing missions.

Thanks so much for the input and the support! I'm glad you find our idea intriguing. I thought it was a different, interesting approach, and I'm gratified that others think so.
