i just thought that maybe a new map.... say at the end of procyon that all three factions had to work together to fight an MI fleet. i think that this would look pretty awesome.

maybe it should be the ending to the scenario for when it loops so when this map finishes the server resets

as long as you're willing and able (have the time and energy, not finding yourself suddenly enrolled in college for example) to write good clean (proper spelling and punctuation) flavor text for things like the map description, teams, victory messages, i wont summarily dismiss a map suggestion.

Any particular way we should submit map text? I may give this a shot.

written in virgin blood on parchment made of flayed human skin. or a forum pm. or dropbox/google docs..
limit 1 paragraph (500-600 chars) per item. for sake of consistancy, keep flavor texts in the similar vein to the following
- Map Description – Third Person, Neutral “History Text Book”
- Teams
- ICC Team – Third Person, Message to another ICC Captain from ICC HQ.
- UGTO Team – Third Person, Message from the local Fleet Admiral to UGTO Captains
- K'luth Team – Third Person, Message from the tribal leaders
- Victory messages
- ICC Victory – Third Person, Message from ICC Fleet Leader to ICC Captains
- UGTO Victory – Third person, Message from UGTO HQ
- K'luth Victory – Third Person, Message from the tribal leaders.

All three teamed together vs MI you mean?
The biggest problem is AI. AI stinks at engineering, it loves to crash into planets, it loves sending transports vs planets it has no hope of capturing etc.
Could be fun, but the challenge would have to come from masses of AI like in Procyon. And of course it would be really easy to win by capping the flag planets.

Sounds like it could be a fun scenario so long as the MI AI's have some intelligence, as stated above they seem to like to fly into planets and have no concept for building unless its mass amounts of mines....mhmmm resources good.

There won't be any special intelligence to them.
Further details like using an existing map? If not, details on the map to be used. Potential flag items - which can, in fact, be more than just capturing planets; that's just usually what we do. I don't think there's a timer feature though (ie, no "hold this space for x minutes").

well i´ve been thinking about maybe if ýou can spawn ALL ships out of the gate "except the ones that you wouldn´t be able to get due to rank and badges" and just have a crazy A$$ war because if it´s the last scenario all the factions should be able to pull their resources from their conquests so they should be able to use thier full power that they have collected over the war
to give a sense of purpose to the previous maps.
the flag items could be 3-5 MI nodes that have spawned and they have to be destroyed to win the map

Done and sent. Unfortunately I don't know any virgins to extract blood from so I had to settle for a forum PM.

I don't think it would necassarily need to be all 3 factions teamed together vs. MI.
Might be cool to still have the other factions all appear as red, but having a crazy amount of MI in the picture could lead to agreements between factions.
Having MI could simply add flavor to the scenario such as
-MI only target the strongest faction. Strongest faction could be defined as
**Faction with the most planets under control
**Faction with the most Flag Planets under control
**Faction with the most stations/dreads/cruisers that are spawned at any given time
MI would then be a way for an underdog faction to quickly turn the tide of a battle.

are you kidding? most people hunt you down at the meer mention of the word "truce".
if its a voluntary "you help me, i help you" thing, most people say "go to hell"
if they are SET! in stone that they have to work together i see people enjoying it.
pride gets in the way alot here. specially among the elites...

I don't like the idea of K'luth oficially allying with the humans.
After all, K'luth is after human space just as much as MIR is. so why should K'luth help the humans save their planets when they could just sit back and watch them kill eachother, only helping (mir as much as the humans imo) out when it benefits them directly and then "swoop in" and take what they want.
I quite like the idea of K'luth being the sneaky little backstabbers they are known for. Kinda like a faction you can't trust but sometimes have to work with anyway 
So no, i don't want a map where K'luth and humans are green. Neutral sure, because then its a matter of choise rather then broken lore...
