I know this is a stretch, but after the game is stable and running, it would be a really nice feature to add in VR support to the game. I feel that Starbase could be one of the top VR games if it's done correctly.
In Starbase, there is already lots of features that make a great VR game. For example, the controls for the ship are all in a panel in-front of you in the form of levers which can be moved using your hands, buttons open doors, which again, could be pressed with your hands and also the games great optimisation which is needed for VR.
I know it would take a while to develop, but it will def be worth it and attract so many different kinds of players, not just ones that like MMO RPG, but also people that want to feel what it's like to fly a ship, take part in battle and be fully immersed into an entirely different universe and some that just perhaps want to go to a local space bar and hang out with people.
I also believe that the endo mechanic could be really interesting to play with in VR, like when your endo dies, you could be sent to a room in VR (maybe a server room or something) where you choose which insurance location you wish to re-spawn at.
Another feature that could be used in VR is that, typically, typing with VR controllers is a pain, especially if you're a YOLOL guy. But there a videos now out there of companies like Facebook that have fixed this by using VR keyboards that I think could be added to this game.
I honestly think the possibilities are endless with this and would add just that next level of wow for Starbase.
