This is mostly a disorganized list of ideas for an open source game engine and space simulation game called windwalker:
Oolite and pioner space sim both have free space sims available on linux, which is great. It would be really cool if an open source clone of the new elite dangerous was spawned which draws from star citizen and no man's sky; we need more HD textures in our open source space games and more feature like planet surface exploration and mining. The ability to build ships and create bases really takes the game involvement to another level. Take a few pages from the book of the folks over at EVE online. X rebirth was quite good too.
What I am effectively looking for is an EVE online clone with single player story line like freelancer. I want the modernized look and features that are presented in elite:dangerous, star citizen, and no man's sky.
Features lacking or missing in those titles include: Ability to board/pirate ship after disabling engines and docking, first person walking hand-to-hand and weapon combat, ability to buy a planet to build a base and industry, terraforming missions, ability to launch probes and drones, involved collection and reverse engineering of alien artifacts, large space combat with 3rd person command module, large battleships that contain smaller ships, technology hacking and password cracking, user create-able weapons, fully integrated trade market and stock investments, outpost and city creator, ability to create jobs on the bulletin board, alliances and guild play, location based damage and focus on skill, real-time development of technology and upgrades from engineers, use of upgrade-able on-board computer which can be overloaded or hacked, EMP for battle sequences and piracy, infinite procedural generated solar systems and plane features as well as bases and enemies, in-combat party customization and ability layout, rich feature cartography tools and data collection objective, cheat codes (console) and modification plugin ready for offline and custom server play, large volume power sources and collector arrays but there is a need to refuel or hibernate the ship to continue travel (can fuel scoop stars and gas giants, can use hydrogen and oxygen [lithium] mined from asteroids, upgrade-able powershed), cloaking ships and body armor, need to repair ship at mechanic or manually with engineer skill and supplies, larger ships can matryoshka doll nest smaller ones in their cargo, crews can be hired for missions, building and piloting of mech ships and suits, flight path and orbital planner, realistic gravitation and star proximity, realistic planet size and atmosphere transitions, ship overheating and radiation damage, need to maintain oxygen levels for crew and fuel consumption, need to have food to feed crew, sandbox buildable and destructible environment, main world wormgates and hidden gates as well as short range ship jumpdrive, business alliance such as transportation or private security, multiple currencies (silver, lithium, hydrogen, and universal credit) and forex market, bartering vs selling system for ship dealers and junk yards, in game drug trade and blackmarket goods, transportation of people and livestock (needs food and oxygen over time), integration of web browser and text/voice/video chat into system hud, full text to speech support and vice versa, realistic weather on planets, cooperative multiplayer play, create your own faction and create star bases and ships, user created job board and user controlled stock market with player companies interactive, fully interactive virtual reality immersion and full controller support with remapping (integrated xpadder and 3D headset ready), regional item availability and faction based relations, ship upgrade system with modular design, include the sol solar system and incorporate real star maps, character creation and class design, fully interactive universe with "alternate endings", fully modable, steerable weapons, location based damage and realistic depreciation, you can buy gear for your character, you can own multiple ships, fully interactive cabin interior, hire crew for multi-user ship actions, augmented vision (night vision, thermal vision, holographic re-imager, etc...), fully supported botting, fully explore-able worlds and player interaction spaces similar to second life, dock ships together in space (space transformer fusing), multi-user bridge, aspect of stealth-adventure fighting, integrated solar system creator (like universe sandbox), and many other features we await to be developed.

I am interested in integrating a VM that can run linux on screen within the HUD of a space ship. Though I want this to initially be a dev locked feature, I want the immersion of running homebrew applications to further immerse game interactivity. Is it possible to run a VM linux to hand scripts and libraies for the game and have the KDE gui visable in a widget on the hub?
I want the VM running the micro linux to be very fast streamlined, I have thought either DSL or the much larger ARCHlinux for extensibility draw on system resources. The main idea stemmed from haing a console terminal like half life that could launch full fledged linux commands and bash scriptsd. Then I wanted to render a screen with gui and KDE.
Help me understand the practicality of implementing real world computer experience into video game obkects, such as photo editing or cool homebrew.
I want the game engine to be extensible as possible, with focus on space play, interplanetary freeform flight, colonization, and first person shooting
I would use the linux backend to suport the in game apps available on the hud, as I think this would really improve plugin compatibility and mods down the line
I dont want to use JVM, I would rather use virtual box source code and tone it down for performance and resource practicality as well as security
The entire idea is to be release open source.
I want the release to be cross platform for linux (primarity, to mac and windows, may someday some RISC hardware that runs ARCLINUX)Potentially want to port to ps4 and xbox one, with hope for a downgraded edition that will run on xbox360 and ps3. the plans include allowing the native consoles to run homebrew by using the game as bootloader.
Also, the main programming languages will be c++/openGL. java/script and XHTML5/webGL. Also there will be nuerobots that evolve ai for simulations in the game.
The whole game renders worlds within a dedicated server instance, whether single player or multiplayer persistent world

want the in-game VM to be able to provide back-end support for the game engine like script and plugin management. I would consider putting a web browser inside tha game to view linux over SSH but I will loose the functions of having the OS available for task queuing. The linux os will just be a console shell but I want the VM to support a GUI if somebody so decides to modify the game files and make it visual. The linux would also run the in game music player, which has ideas to expand to a virtual DJ interface in certain minigames at the bar and also to provide some killer integration features for modders.
The questions isn't as much of a difficulty thing, but rather, a resource problem (how to tone down the VM in intense moments of game play) and wanted to use it's features to make the game more in-depth as it is released onto the open source community. Another reason to imbed the VM was to make official console like ps3/ps be able to run homebrew.
Remember, thisis going into a space engine that will be made into a space game, so i want it as feature packed and futureproof as posible.
I was also considering using the in game VM linux to provide services cros platform that may be unavailable if the game was released on linux and then ported to windows or mac.
I also wanted the engine to feature an integrated IDE and I thouht running the proram through the VM console would clean up the packages needed to install on the external os
The jslinux is a really good idea as mentioned by buster2000, but will it allow me to map external devices like USB and network connection. It doesn't seem powerful enough, for example I dont see an SSH function and probably no graphical support in any fashion, no networking, 64bit support? I need access to the console from this linux distro, similar to the terminal (I suppose I could map over ssh). Will jslinux map my network card through to LAN or WAN? Also, I need the ability to launch programs out of the OS mainpage and onto the HUD display for the spaceship (An audio module, chromium browser, star charts, economy statistics, etc...) Can software be installed in the jslinux like I would normally MAKE packages? I am looking for something a litle more sophisticated with 64 but suport, allocatable ram, virtual hard disk with master boot record and bility ro partition discs, allocate virtual processors, tunnel usb devices, and GPU passthrough

Microsoft and sony might not like me to release a game wth that type of loophole, hut keeping it hidden in the developers console and through some code masquerading to obfuscate the intention on the platform relase could get me by. Plus the project is open source, so unless there is some kind of intervention, the game engine system, will probably never be released on major console platforms. But I still think adding jailbreak/softmods to the game could bring it to the same caliber as mechassault, splinter cell, agent under fire, and action replay
You know, it also just struck me that I could emulate elements the cygwin project in an indirect way to add function to the console (making console linux command friendly)
Also looking for support for java and apahe, as well as, but no necessary, flash support within the linux OS. I want the user portfolio (captain log/guestbook) to be customizable and implemented in XHTML5.

Well the game itself is normal 3d shooter style in space, but there are opportunities to interact with in game computers and I though linux experience would be the most realistic. You dont use the computer all the time, just in the hud and at the library kiosk, etc...
The game engine need to flexible for re-coding for a number of games such as footbal, iron man, grand theft auto clones, etc... but those are just afterthoughts for enchanting extensibility
I also want to use the linux as a backend for scripts and plugins
I want to call the open source engine and space simulaor game windwalker
