| − | + | The Manifest Destiny Project is an add-on for Orbiter with these main components: | |
| − | + | * [[Mission MFD]] - Loads mission files, automatically tracks the status of mission objectives, and saves the results. Missions can be loaded and saved locally or to a server. | |
| − | + | * Mission Server - Supports one or more continuous "universes" and players' economy. Players can check out missions and report results, which can affect the rest of the universe for other players in the future. | |
| − | + | * Infrastructure - Additional vessels, space stations, and bases to support a rich universe for interesting missions | |

The purpose of Manifest Destiny is to make Orbiter persistent and meaningful. Currently, a player can fly from one place to another and pretend to have accomplished something. With Manifest Destiny, the cargo that a player delivered to the moon last week may become a new base this week. Scenarios are dynamically created and depend upon the results of previous missions. Players can choose to participate in the economy, where they earn credits for accomplishing missions, but must buy fuel and supplies, and repair their ships in order to take on a new mission. | The purpose of Manifest Destiny is to make Orbiter persistent and meaningful.
