If my understanding is correct the way for one side or another to control a system is to gain point via killing enemy fighters. I am not trying to throw a wrench into anything but thought i would toss something out to expand the manner that the battles are being waged.
On another server they had wars between clans where one clan could actually capture and control another clans system. I am not saying that you should move to that level but the way they did the battles were very nice. To contol a system one side had to capture all bases and planets in the targetted system. Capture was defined by delivering a set number of troops to the location that was defined by the targets size. This expanded the fleet composition from just fighters engaging in dogfights to full scale invasions utilizing capital class vessels to weaken defences to freighters and transports delivering troops (an actual cargo item) to the target. There would be an admin or server police unit present to verify delivery and tally the total number of invading troops that made it to the target and to also notify when the target was captured. Both sides could deliver troops to the target and the defender usually had the advantage in this as they had to travel a shorter distance. This just meant that the invading group needed to make sure that their supply lines remained intact.
Part of the reason for this is that with the loader you have (nice job btw) you could be the first to actually offer a type of universe that has not been presented to the FL community to the best of my knowledge. An actual dynamic universe and not just a dynamic economy.
For example,
New bases being built using a certain amount of commodities being delivered to the construction site.
Existing bases being destroyed from enemy attacks.
(this may be more hassle then its worth though for a few reasons)
With the file structure and item placement control that is available you could go as far as actually destroying a planet and replacing it with an asteroid field. I guess what I am talking about is a universe that is changing constantly, this would present a reason to continue exploring as the universe itself grows and changes.
