Endless mode?

I just bought this game and am apparently already addicted! But here is something I would love to see implemented in this game.

An endless mode/sandbox mode without the main mission, but having the possibility to explore a randomly generated world and play in it until killed. Here is what I have in mind with a bit more details.

Allegiance system
-----------------------
The ship would start neutral with the different factions and could perform quests for them in order to become in good term and have advantages when visiting their bases such as price reductions, access to better equipments.. etc.

8 ways Navigation
----------------------
Of course you wouldnt want to be stuck in a linear progression, so being able to explore the edge of the current sector, up, down, left, right, diagonals would be neat

Politic AI system
----------------------
Each new world you generate would have a different political situation going on, for instance, factions becomes at war with each other and might request your help in battle, or another faction might consider you an ennemy for being too friendly with a faction they're at war with and such.

Ship Purchage
-----------------
Being able to buy new ships in the game as you progress, allowing you to purchase more systems and upgrades for instance.

I know this is a HUGE suggestion but hey, one can dream, that'd be a dream come true for me =)

There's currently an endless mod in development. It has nothing that you've suggested but hey, it's endless. Also, you should check out a game called Space Pirates And Zombies (and bounty hunters). It's very similar to what you're suggesting except it's a top down space shooter instead of a roguelike. You can find it on Steam and on the site for pretty cheap.
