A private place for tournements and great battles

[al12]

I got this idea from someone else but I was allowed to post this, he thought of it for my topic Battle of the titans( still a good idea). The idea is this:
There a certain place where in you will (re)spawn in this game. And you have the two guest accoutns that have been made far out of that place. Now the idea is to make it possible to make a second account. But you can only make this outside of the space used for the normal game, and you can only make this account there for a reason( Orginased things, Grand War, Battle of the titans, vet league and any other ideas). This way you won't have anyone interfere with these events and they won't interfere with your game or that of the alliance.
If I am the person making the most points for my alliance and I am out for a week or 2 or more for certain events that costs the alliance points and possible me. With being able to make an account for the event this problem is sloved. And you will be only be attacked by players in the event as it is to far away to fly from the normal game area to an area for an event.
As for these events you make a second account you would need to wait to start this event till everyone has a certain ammount of research( you could start straight away but abit hard if everyone is figthing with standerd ships). So maybe it would be possible to boost the times of research so things would go a little fast. A nother idea is maybe put the planets a little closer then usual and make the battle pause shorter to speed things up.
I think this last one might be a problem as people can be buisy in real life but maybe a good idea if you orginase something for in vacation time.
So, is this a good idea and can this be done or is this to much work for you admins?( shouldn't be as you would be able to cope with 500 active players

I'd suggest a parralel universe instead of the one we're in currently, that would make navigation a bit easier.

But, in essence, your idea is good. As long as you can only make such an account during event times, and they're deleted afterwards.

It might be a pain to go and change all the research times, but it's certainly not undoable.

Are there any more oppinions on this idea?

Well, I've been thinking of having just 2 alliances in a parallell universe (like federation and klingons and forget the rest).


It would be cool to play a huge conflict with alternative winning conditions:

a) flag count difference exceeds a certain amount

b) number of active shipyards go below a certain count

c) total point difference exceeds a certain amount


Only drawback is that of course cheaters and spies will appear, with phony accounts etc. Perhaps it would be possible to have a Coucil of War for each side, with known and trusted players? Information within the alliance could then be limited in a useable fashion, and the CoW could hand out orders to all separate members of the alliance. I think it would be really cool with a balanced war where there could be some really interesting strategic planning for the members of each sides CoW:

a) how to create joint defenses?
b) how to utilize probes the most efficient way
c) controlling research initiatives in a constructive way
d) planning the TWN structure. Everywhere? Key planets?
e) creating combined attack forces.
etc
etc

As a participator one might receive orders like:
Send 1 interceptor fleet with evaporators to.... Be prepared to sacrifice mothership. Fleet is for defensive purposes. Attack code:ABC
Send 1 gunship fleet to..... Be on-line between X and Y game time.
Research dominators
Build and send 1 trace probe to.... Report findings to ....

I think this would be really cool....



In general I like the idea. I would also like the possibility to download a battle simulator and run locally on my PC. That would be a learning experience!

what about this:

there is a space-time-displacement-eddy womewhere in the galaxy, far away from the center. if a subspacefield targets the eddy fromout a homeplanet, it creates a wormhole-feedback to that planet anywhere in the galaxy.

basically, you can fly there and back from there to your base with transwarp 100 or more.

[al12]

Hmm, it is a nice idea. Just don't know how it would work out to be with forinstence a grand war there. Because you would need to fly back and forth. Maybe it would work if there would be pre warps that could get filled for a war or 'tournement'. If you could send a fleet there and keep it there for a few days without having to fly back to get new ships it could be nice.

we have this place already, it's called the black hole. and it needs to be made more attractive. it has been discussed before, but i don't remember whether there was a conclusion to the subject.
