we need some features that are not -yet- implemented.
such a trajectory replayer and/or crypted savegame

but we can make something neat with clans (or "clubs/guild") on the net and some kind of "the way it's mean to be
play" for making "real" space colonizing

With some goodwill and many time it would be really possible to do a module
where you must travel and you can gain cash and money and eventually
get new add-ons.

As I see it the module would create scenary file that give access to new
add-ons as you progress with your gain.
You would be able to load somes payloads and gain cash from briging
them at some defined place.

A lot of things can still be done in Orbiter, what is lacking is time
to do them.

I think Celestia is open. I tried it once, but I couldn't get it to work properly.

I've just bought X2-the threat. It's amazing for the moment... I will see in the next months if I'll play with the same
pleasure in an open universe...
