Upgrades for Spaceships in Campaign

[fvultier]

In many games, the player gets stronger from level to level in the campaign. It would be nice to have an upgrade system for the orxonox spaceships too. Ideas:

For every won campaign mission, the player gets research points that he can spend on different abilities. There would be abilities like "+10% damage with spaceship escort" or "+10% speed with spaceship pirate" or "spaceship escort gets an additional flame gun" or … BE CREATIVE!

Steps:

• Think about how your final upgrade mechanism should behave. Check out other games for ideas.

• How can you implement your idea? How should the progress of the player be stored? Where should the available upgrades be stored?

• Implementation and testing
