Random Starting Gear

[TheKingOfSpace]

Allow server admins to define multiple starting gear sets, then have the server randomly choose one of them for each player.

This could be used, for example, to give the player a random starting ship.

This will probably become available if the game API is developed and released (currently on the planned list of features on the official roadmap!), so I would hope it will become possible in the future. In the meantime, we might have to live with a static set. I wonder if it's possible for the server admin to automatically switch out the XML file at time intervals, and have the game read it every time. I suspect the game reads the file once and holds the data in memory instead.
