have longer term sov mechanics not for territory but for epeen, such as the ability to rename a system if occupied for long enough, with a high enough station count and averaged player population( jump and medclones)

When setting a destination, the number of jumps should have a representative delay in producing a route. The naviagation computer would also make burp and fart noises whilst it does this and randomly start auto pilot as the computer wants to see new places.

When overloading missiles and turrets a chance of jamming, causing a delay in firing and extra heat damage!

That is the exact opposite of a bad idea. Blink

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

All UI clicks should be done via our WiS Avatars, e.g. when I press F1 on my keyboard, I should see my Avatar's finger pressing the corresponding module on the GUI.

Dark Masses, natural cynos scattered around that anyone that can jump can get to, but just empty space apart from a black hole and some star, there is no local and the natural cyno point is a single grid in space, system wiped by spacemagic every 24hrs, ships/pods lost, thunderdomes.

I believe Matryoshka is the original word, that is often misunderstood as Babushka, but they are both referring to the same thing.
Matryoshka meaning mother, and Babushka i think is grandmother.

So there could be two classes of nested ships: Matryoshka (mother)- and it's older and more volatile Babushka(grandmother) model.
