I love the black hole concept in distant stars/celestial bodies and understand the AI blithely sends its npc minions to their dooms. So I wondered...
Ship abilities allow buffs to self, to allied ships near, etc. Could one of two ways here work?
One
Give a planet a buff that only affects players by type? As in: pirate, local militia, phase, tec, advent, Player0, Player1, etc.?
Two
Give ownership of the planet(black hole, etc.) to the group and have a buff applied only to friendly forces in the gravity well.
If so, "pirates" could be given ownership of the black hole and then the buff could actually de-buff (damage) enemies in the gravity well as its effect.
Possible?
