[epiar-devel] Important: Gameplay Description

[moses]

I like the idea of jump gates.  It would be cool if jump gates could
also (?) jump to new galaxies, or galaxy map datas.  Might be more
complex than anyone wants, but allows for ethusiastic mappers to make
their own campaigns/galaxies.  Like Battle for Wesnoth, mappers can make
their own campaign sets and even change the RPG configurations around or
add-on new galaxies.  That could make Epiar stand out for a little
longer in re-playability and just be a maintainer problem.

One thing I would like to see adjusted is the ship movement.  You can
continously go forward at the same velocity, but not turn w/o using
fuel!  The old asteroid like movement is nice, but I think more of a
robust movement system would be better.
