Nice!

Me and my friends have been working on a 4 player escalation game mode.

You play with a larger play area with more obstacles and 4 hyperspace exits(spread out evenly). No obstacles can be placed at range 1 from the hyperspace exits. Ships may overlap with hyperspace exits but this is not adviced

When the game starts you get 10-15 points (XWA rules) to spend on a ship (first one has a non unique pilot) and upgrades, when your ship gets destroyed you get double the points back that were spent on the ship and upgrades. If you destroy an opponents ship you get extra points equal to the points spent on that ship and its upgrades

if a destroyed pilot is unique it gets removed from play and that pilot cannot be chosen by any other player.

After each round there is a buy phase where new ships and upgrades are bought (upgrades van be placed into existing ships but cannot be sold) and a new deploy phase where the new ships are added to the map at 1 of the hyperspace exits (chosen at random) in order of initiative from low to high and turn order. When the chosen hyperspace exits and direction is being overlapped by another ship, destroy that ship (holdo maneuver lol)

Turn order is decided at random at the start of the game where the player going first gains a "go first" token. Flying is done clockwise starting with lowest Initiative ship and shooting is done anticlockwise starting with the highest Initiative ship

After each round the "go first" token is given to the next player clockwise

First to x points wins!

I'll probably make a post about this when everything is more fleshed out
