Lets expand the system that we currently have with only the detection system , we could use the radar dishes or even devices that allow us to communicate with other factions allowin us to : ask for reinforcements : in case of atack or even if we are going to engage in combat , ask for help for them to warp to your location to help you on combat , the "level " of help will depend on the situation could be from a troop group on ground to large ships on space combat . ask for resources : the could send you to a specific device or crate an specific resource that you need or want ,even a dropship leaving you with the request. ask for information : on enemies , specific pois , locations , planets , systems etc info availaible to trade . negotiate : we can establish alliance , arrange peace or war , etc , this could even to set atacks to specific pois or communicate with other players via the game ( with voice even) how could the player pay ? : with credits , points , specific items , or even performin the same task in exchange. love the game so far , hope you like the suggestion !
