-The Osirion Project - GAMEPLAY
-
-	This document describes what the gameplay of Project::OSiRiON should
-	eventually become. This document is a work in progress and is subject
-	to change. 
-
-General guidelines
-
-	Project::OSiRiON is a multiplayer space game with persistent player
-	statistics. A single player mode with a compelling story is a 
-	secondary objective but the storyline serves as background for
-	the multiplayer universe.
-
-	Project::OSiRiON is a 'serious' game. Names of objects, people and
-	places should be considered generic for the universe and should not
-	be rightout silly or offensive. Names should feel 'natural' in their
-	context.
-
-	Models for ships, space stations and other objects should be designed
-	with the same philosphy in mind. It is acceptable to make references 
-	to exisiting objects (real or fiction), as long as they are subtle
-	or inconspicuous.
-
-Universe
-
-	A basic description of the universe, how it is organised and who lives there.
-
-	The universe is a collection of stand-alone star systems. Each star system
-	is a small world on it's on. The only direct interaction between systems
-	is a player traveling between them. The background story should provide
-	(some of the) star systems and their relation.
-
-The Player
-
-	Who is the player in the universe. 
-	- Friends
-	- Enemies
-	- Background
-	- How the player itnteracts with the universe.
-
-	The player enters the universe as a typical out-of-luck person
-	who decided to start a new life. With a small ship he tries to become
-	the Richest Man in the Known Universe. The player earns money by shipping 
-	cargo that can be bought at discount prices at one place and sold
-	at a premium on a second location. *mining *fighting *wrecks/looting.
-
-	The goal is to become filthy rich and show it. Besides, with a particle
-	cannon and a target lock, nobody cares where your money comes from.
-
-	Players can be hostile or friendly to each other.
-
-Ships
-
-	The player starts the game with single small spacecraft and starts the
-	game docked at a planet or space station. When he has earned sufficient
-	money he can spend it on ship upgrades like weapons, armor, shields 
-	and various other components.
-
-	*gameplay idea
-	various 'useless' fancy upgrades that increase player status
-
-Traveling
-
-	How the traveling happens in the universe, how the player will travel.
-
-	Every ship is equipped with thrusters. The maximum thruster speed depends
-	on the ship type, small merchant vessels will have lower maximim trhuster
-	speed then a scout ship.
-
-	Ships can also be equiped with a sublight impulse drive. This drive will
-	enable the ship to accelerate to a high speed without crossing the threshold
-	at which relativistic effects would disturb perception. Impulse drive speed
-	is the same for most ship types. Due to the enormous power requirements a ship
-	will not be a able to fire weapons while the impulse drive is enabled.
-	
-	Neither of these engines will allow the player the leave the star system.
-	Interstellar travel is only possible using a hyperdrive. A hyperdrive is an
-	expensive piece of equipment that has massive power requirements. Only very
-	large ships will be capable of carrying a hyperspace jump drive.
-
-	Interstellar travel for the common men is possible through the use
-	of commercial or government owned hyperspace gates. These gates create
-	on-demand hyperspace connections between star systems and provide a safe
-	and easy way to travel.
-
-	Hyperspace travel is almost instantanious, hyperspace jump would be a more
-	accurate term to describe it.
-
-	
-Fleets [Phase 2]
-	
-	As the player earns money, he will hopefully eventually be able
-	to buy large ships.
-
-	The flagship
-	The player's fleet is limited to one convoy. The convoy's task is to
-	protect the flagship. The player can be in control of any ship in his 
-	fleet. 
-
-	...
-	More like a convoy. 
-	
-	... about fleet combat
-
-	Once the flagship is destroyed, the convoy is lost.
-	The player respawns at base with the flagships and any ships
-	docked on it while it was destroyed. Other cargo and other ships it 
-	the convoy are lost.
-
-	
-Planet and Stations
-
-	Star systems are inhabited with planets and stations.
-	...
-	Dockable planets or stations are bases
-	...
-	Some bases provide storage facilities where players
-	can put items like weapons or spare parts in storage.
