Steve -
I'm at work, so forgive me if the things I'm suggesting are already available in 2.41.
I've had a nifty idea for a new campaign. I probably won't use it for a while, particularly if I can get the Quad-System campaign back up after 2.5 comes out, but I like it enough that I'll let it percholate around in my head to develop for a while.
The thing is, multi-system NPR's would be necessary for this new campaign. Therefore, I'd need the following:
1. Some way to link systems together via their warp points. IIRC, SA already has something like this for linking warp points in two different systems, and will also allow you to either delete warp points or create them, which would be nice too.
2. Some way to grant survey data to a race, both geo and gravitic. This could either be done on the system view, where you could give this information to the race viewing the system, or could be done during race creation, for whatever race is active at the time. I'd really like something that would let me do this at any time, not just during system creation.
As far as I can see, these two things are the bare minimum necessary for the creation of a multi-system NPR, as you would need to link systems and you'd need to have explored the systems to exploit them.
