As any good scifi will have it, real life engineering is possible for something man kind has not invented yet, but should have: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2022/07/snooze-canoes/

Society for the Destruction of Daylight Savings Time refuses to accept the time change: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2022/06/society-for-the-destruction-of-daylight-savings-time/

The Amish farm on many different planets, but how did they get off Earth? https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2022/05/amish-space/

The Binularity is the idea that as time passes for those who merge their consciousness on a chip by the Singularity, eventually when the braincells die, you become all computer and lose consciousness but the robotic brain simulates you while you live inside a shell: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2022/02/the-binularity/
The Cyborg Inquisitor wants to merifcully purge those who have fallen to the Binularity by executing them so their soul can pass on. Any cyborg he meets has to pass a Turing test. Do you have confidence that you can pass a captcha to live or die? The Inquisitor does not play fair so be ready to know the difference between bread and toast, a red light from a green light, and a motorcycle from a moped: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2022/04/failure-to-excommunicate/

Do you know Warner Brothers was not the one who invented Pinky and the Brain’s core idea for a cartoon of two mice trying to take over the universe every episode? Not many people know I invented it: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2021/12/meet-the-paraplegic-mice-team/ This is a confirm-able fact by anyone who went to my highschool remembers my custom made RPG( https://crystalfighter.com/igbh/ ) being played every lunch/study hall. I gotta publish the core rules for you guys some day. Most say it is the most fun PNP RPG they ever played and they played all the contemporary ones.
Not in Starfighter, but a game about darkness overtaking light so you need to survive as long as possible… In future games, take out the guy causing it: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2022/01/dawn-of-darkness/
The most advanced race in Starfighter General are the Gibblets, hamster like idiots who’s ancestors made technology so powerful they didn’t have to try in school. Now they’re all barely sentient hamsters, so don’t anger em, they can do almost literally anything. https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2021/12/gibblets/

2) Networking that pushes the envelope where no networking has gone before. People laugh at this like it is impossible to innovate, but I marketed it to Midway in 2003, and they laughed too. Meanwhile it was working in house as a Tekken style(3d fighter) MMO with part of what today is known as rollback code. Midway’s manager was mocking what is today’s standard thinking rollback and such was impossible. Infinite action players same zone, limit only by video card and other hardware, networking ain’t a limiting thing anymore.

4) First MMO designed for late game. Everyone enjoys mmos until power capped and then get bored.
There is no power cap to begin with(just a log log logarithmic progression), but there are many many many other end game design elements to make it so want to keep playing end game! The grind is there, but better and more fun things are around too! You can build up a super big fleet and it get destroyed to pieces and you start over again. You have a power floor level that you can’t go below so you’re always building permanent power, but temporary spikes of power surges and galactic dominance for fleeting moments give a rush. The larger the fleet, the larger the fleeting moment.

8) PVP bounty system. Everyone can PVP at all times. Stakes are low if your ship explodes. If you get attacked without declaring aggressive mode or an opponent to duel, the aggressor gets a bounty on their head in accordance with the damage dealt to you. If this bounty gets high enough, and they get caught, they will be put in jail. When they log on for the next few hours or days, their character can play only in jail, and visitors come see him and such. Enjoy roleplaying being a prison inmate, or just use a different crew member on your account. Developing many crew members is a thing for when you fly capital ships.

10) Omnipotent roleplay: Earn your right into a a movie anime by great roleplay! Live game masters in about 6-12 months after the content updates roll through. We bias people with Founder’s RP tokens some and good manner role players who stay in character(we have chat logs and even game logs). This promotes good role play even when not live GMing. Who doesn’t want to bring their friends to a movie and surprise em with their own character in it? So stay in character for a better game! https://www.starfightergeneral.com/live-role-play/

Punky-Pulpy action, Levels, stats, skills, talents, items, fleet amassing, and great apocalyptic space plots, trippy Lewis Carrol level Mad Hatter humor along the way. It’s really weird to see how this synergizes from a game design standpoint. Players naturally want to level up and power up… That’s the twink min maxer in all of us. So when humor, plots, intrigue, or NPCs getting your blood boiling to action vs them happens, you get stoked, rewarded, happy and tossed off your axis. Then when resolved, you look back and get serious about powering up. The core of a RPG gamer is always powering up, it is something we can’t get rid of, but the core of a game designer is to get you out of a spreadsheet mindset temporarily… And then you appreciate both more. So tacky humor, along serious pulp action and serious leveling up game mechanics… It is like a symphony of fun.
