Ideas for Co OP

[topper]

I could see a Co-op mode where the two players are simultaneously playing their own independent game with their own timelines in parallel universes.

When one player enters a battle, the other player gets the invitation to join it. And periodically (maybe once each player has simulated at least a year since the last event), a "dimensional portal" would open up and allow the players to choose among various options for sending aid between the two universes.

Aid options might be like:
-Since the Skylaxians like player A, they can increase the attitude of the Skylaxians towards player B by X
-The Andors are under attack in universe B, have the Andors in universe A send a few armadas through the portal to help.
-etc

just an idea...

well there is no real point in having seperate games. I was just thinking players woudl be in the same solar map and able to influence one another. Like bringing in allies from another race on a mission and they themselves happening all the while the solar map would continue in its slow pace. Where the option of 'speeding' up can be agreed on if both players pressed the speed up button etc.
