When you recieve those nice "god ships" in the single player sanbox games, it would be nice to be able to "reverse engineer" the tech contained on those ships. Even better if it cost you the ship you were reverse engineering, maybe 2 if something catastrophic happened. Maybe take 12 months to 2 years to do.
Is this sort of thing possible ?
How about blockading a planet so nothing gets in or out? Like a seige type of deal, where it would be possible to starve the population into submission, destroy anything attempting to leave, no communications, no finnancial input into or out of the planet.
If a tutorial exists for this type of thing, I wouldnt mind a point in the right direction.
