I have a question. Do you think its possible in some kind of way that espionage quests might be possible? I think it would be intriguing to run stealth missions that affect relationships between opposing factions. For example say Polaris and Free Colonists are neutral or friendly to each other. Do a mission for Free Colonists and if you succeed the Free Colonist relationship increases with you and decreases with Polaris or if you fail you lose points with both sides for getting discovered. Maybe if you succeed then that spawns a new base or something in the others territory and they fight each other. I have no idea how to mod or Id give it a try. Just a thought.
