I was just thinking that maybe there could be a hero that represents the player, and the player would start with his hero in the home system.

However I don't think that this hero should have the same types abilities, perhaps they should be more majestic, being that you are the leader of your race and should have special bonuses.

your hero should also be able to be an admiral as well, though with losing having a major penalty.



on a side note, would be nice to be able to create-a-leader-hero so this could be a way to make custom heroes kinda as well.

This is very similar to /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/12917-actual-leaders-for-a-nation-faction
