Retire a captain, who becomes a contact.

[contributor]

It would be fun if we could eventually decide to retire a captain (and never be able to play them again), but then have them become a potentially discoverable contact on the same map seed. There might have to be certain limitations (400 rep with a faction, 5mil in the bank, complete a special story arc etc.)

Such a fun idea -- we talked about this so much before the design was finished.

I cannot remember if it was Andrew or me, but one of us was really really excited about this feature in mid-2016.

Seems like such a cool idea, I am sure we will be able to include it in one of our games eventually.

Maybe in CK2 you could retire a runner into a Contact.
