A Game Idea which I hope Beamdog may want to consider making ^^
I have always have this hope that somewhere out there, a developer will do it.
Basic Idea is Space exploration+alien encounters/battles etc
Engine : IE seemed appropriate though I am not a software person I hope It might work.
Game layout : A Starship moving in a map much like 1 character in BG moving in a map.
Primarily Avatar : The starship
secondary Avatars : Charname + NPC bridge crews (can get off starship for away missions on planet).
Since BG has a bunch of progression charts already in place and THAC0 etc, they can be use as leveling up for Primary Avatar + secondary avatars.
During explorations, alien artifacts discovered may be able to be reverse engineered to benefit primary avatar for weapons/armor/shields/structural/propulsion enhancements.
At some point of time in the game, can purchase larger starships from alien worlds if the negotiations are successful (various commodities like some alien artifacts or rare minerals etc for negotiations etc).
Space battles - Just 1 single Primary Avatar starship vs alien starships or at later point players acquire advance drone technology to launch drones from Primary Avatar (somewhat like summoning in BG).
Game exploration Idea somewhat like star trek (explorations etc) + possible quests for treaty negotiations if charname represents the planet they are from, or Rogue/privateers trying to gain some fortune and explore space for anomalies and knowledge etc ...
I bet quite a few BG fans are also trekkies, but ofc I wouldn't suggest using anything from ST as copyrights etc will bring the cost sky high+restrictions+draining Beamdog's resources unnecessarily.
Well, this idea have been floating around my head for years and I don't know where I could post and share such ideas .. so I guess I try my luck here X_X
