If everything is up to the players, which I think it should be, what
mechanisms does the game provide to support the creation of
organizations? After reading more about your game it seems that players
will be able to create many different types of organizations, not just
typical corporations.
Also, there was a comment about drones not being able to get to places
that a play equipped with a jet pack could get to. Will it be possible
to equip drones with jet packs if they need them to do their jobs?
