Editing Java game development (section)

=== My game economic engine (EE) ===

'''My initial design thoughts'''
* Use EE4RPG as a basic guide
* Write a pure Java implementation
* Very low computational footprint
* Multi-threaded or "thread safe"
* Agents can be separated by time/distance
* Agents within a market have access to instant communications
* Support 1+n markets
* I'd like to support two types of agent life cycle, one is perpetual (never dying) and one is dynamic (agents can be created/eliminated)

After stand alone testing of the EE I would like to do more extensive testing. Maybe I will drop EE into a large chunk of space then I'll design a system of handling transportation of goods/services (commodities) in space. Initially I thought of using a Earthly-based simulation but why limit myself to one galactic object known as Earth? So a "space hauling simulation" sounds like a good test bed.

'''My initial design thoughts on the space hauling simulation'''
* Write pure Java implementation
* dedicated server option
* 1+n client/player support
* Create a freight market (basically a bulletin board showing all open commodities to be shipped, accepted on contract basis)
** open commodity shows
*** buyer basic information (at least name, maybe some other data like political/economic affiliations)
*** buyer location of commodity drop-off basic information (at least address, maybe security level of destination or other tidbits)
*** buyer contract offer (transportation price)
*** distance between pick-up and drop-off (shortest route, maybe option for shortest/safest)
*** seller location of commodity pick-up basic information (at least address, maybe other tidbits)
*** any other detail that facilitate the acceptance of hauling contracts
* Create freight haulers (freight space ships)
* Create freight companies (collection of many freight haulers)
* Create pilots
** pilots are human / alien
** pilots age, have personalities, change over time, morale, lifestyles, eating habits, and many other factors
* Create a pilot market (basically a bulletin board showing all pilots for hire)
* Easy option to enable logging to disk of game data for export
** support export data to text in HTML or SQL.
** support export of a player pilot
** support export of a player freight hauler
** support export of a player freight company
* random space events
* add immersive relationship model
* add space positioning system for system addressing
* create randomly generated galaxies (seed based to share those cool galaxies) full of space objects
* add ship to ship combat
* add customization of ships
* add leader boards (different metrics)
* add retirement options (game ends voluntarily by player or retirement age addressed)
* add RPG elements (pilots grow and age)

That's my initial thoughts, with family and other priorities let me see how far I can get on spare time here and there.
