It would seem that our piloting prowess would be known throughout the galaxy. Most of us here have well over 100million prestige if not we are pretty close. By now our ability as pilots should be feared and respected. I think its time we added the ability for low level NPCs to call for reinforcements and add a new skills to pilot such as jamming. It would be interesting as a pilot to be killing off random spawns and see that one of those pilots was trying to send a "mayday" to call in for reinforcements that are much stronger than them. These cries for help could bring anything to back them up. Perhaps a Tier5 Gunboat that chases you down or several gunboats and a small wing detachment as well.


It would be interesting to add a jamming ability to nullify the cry for help. But jamming doesn't neccesarily have to be perfect. Lets say thata few times when a communication is jammed parts and partial bits of information from the transmission get through. The small amount that gets through might call in a recon ship or a small fighter wing.


If anything this would change the monotony of just destroyingships in space and add more chance for a story.


These calls for reinforcements could also happen from freighters that don't want to be inspected or other ships that don't want to be inspected. All hell could break loose cause of a random inspection.


Perhaps ships in space that have the ability to call for reinforcements could also be part of a space based mission. And from the ships you collect nav points that lead you on a patrol to dangers unknown and rewards "well more than you can imagine" (don't know about you but I can imagine quite alot...hehe)


Just an idea I had thought I'd share it and see what you all think.

Few more ideas that could go along with NPCs calling for help.


-add piracy. allow the ability to actually loot something off a freighters and othervesselsthen have fighters and other such support come to try and stop you from gettign away with the"stolen" material. Failure to destroy the support wings results in loss of the loot.


- pirating could be done by all factions. Rebels could pirate imperial freighters and ships and certain "neutral" NPCs. Imperials could pirate rebels and again Neutral NPCs. and Neutrals could pirate anyone that isn't allied with their piloting profession. So RSF wouldn't be able to loot Imperials and so on and on.


-perhaps make the loot pieces to a ship or schematic to a new ship that can only be put together by a shipwright.


-jamming could be used against you by npcs to cloud your radar and make you unable to see the targets around you. Not visually just on the radar.
