Alright...Being one of the people who helped bring back the Fleet Wars near the demise of Darkspace 1.482, I do have a soft spot for the talk of it..I've seen a few people in the Lobby saying things about 'clan wars', how they wanted to see which fleet dominated. This already had me thinking, ( it didn't hurt this time!)about Fleet Wars...here goes my Idea.
The Teams
-------------------------
The Clan Leaders/Members of each clan will sit down and talk out certain things.. Ship Classes, which ships cannot be used, Modding, Upgrading, and number of people, factions ,and also, scenarios ( Explained later on )
One of the Fleet Admins must approve for both sides, since we don't want an over excited clan member setting their clan up for a battle they don't know about...
Ship Classes/Factions/Numbers
-----------------------------------------
The clans will decide on the factions. Of course, there will be advantages and disadvantages to each faction. There can be two of the same factions in a battle ( same as the older fleet wars).
For ship classes, the clans will decide on if it will be based on a cruiser battle, dreadnought battle, destroyer battle, or heck, even frigate or scout battles..They can decide which ships each team would be able to use..
The clans will also decide on the numbers of people in the battle, which is easy to understand..
Example.
Quote:
|
$lP Decides that they want to use cruisers and destroyers, no supplies, no interdictors, no stations. They also decide on no Escort Destroyers.
FS agrees to this, but also wants the K'luth to not use the Drainer, or Parasite. |
|
Both clans agree on ship classes, and they are happy! ( no more "OMG THEY HAVE SUPPLIES" going on..)
Weapons, Modding/Upgrading
-------------------------------------------------
The clans in the battle will be allowed to choose which mod's they want on their ships..aka, Particle Cannons, Beacons, Torpedoes.. If a fleet disagrees with the others offer, they can change things around until both sides agree on sides..
Example.
Quote:
|
$lP decides on that their ships can use Particle Cannons and Fusion torps.
FS decides that they can use beacons, one per ship, Particle Cannons, Fusion Torps.
Both Sides Agree. |
|
Scenario
-----------------------
While thinking of Fleet Wars, I wanted to add something..Something that will give a new experience to everyone..
Invasions-This scenario will re-enact an invasion on an enemy system. The Invasion fleet will have a planet, out in the middle of space, which has factories, a shipyard. The Mod's and Ships will be decided on before this. The defending fleet will have a small system, five - six planets, already pre-built for the scenario. The trick here is, that as in real life, we don't get the attack warning, or a chance to be ready for the attack..So, the Defending fleet will have a decided wait time before they are aloud to spawn ships and start the battle.. There will not be any mirving, since it does ruin a few things for both factions.
Duels- This will be basic one on one fights. The clans will have all ships modded, and will form a 'ring' around set boundaries. If a player is killed, the player that killed him, must be the one to fight the next opponent. ( A simple elimination thing..) Now, for boundaries.. if a player where to venture out past the set boundaries, the opposing clan can send in one ships to 'jump' that ship(player Z). (Player Z) is not allowed to kill the ship that ventured out. All duels will be to the death.
System Warfare- They will each have a cluster of four planets. A Shipyard planet already built, and a Mod planet already built ( Hopefully Pre-Stocked with some items..) The clans have two planets to build to their needs, and once both sides have the remaining two planets built, they can attempt to bomb/capture enemy planets, along with fighting them near the planets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the rankings, I really cant add into this, since it would be up to Event Staff to decide it..
Also, when a battle is decided, it could be placed in the Event News section, so the community will know too..

Sounds good. Would like to see it happen. Would like to see what kind of prizes would be awarded and whether or not pres gain is on or off.

It's been done before, and it just isn't that popular (despite popular belief).

A new player just said they'd enjoy it jack..Sure, it's been done, but maybe new players want something like this.

Sadly, Jack has a point.
We all remember when this idea came up : the turnout was horrendous. As good of an idea as it is, and as many that would be interested, often enough nothing becomes of it. =(
We can still try though. [insert clueless shrug here]

addition: ED's are baned.

I think this is an awesome idea. I think coloberating on a time when everyone would be on and be able to do this would be the part that hurts it the most.
Otherwise I am all for it. Great Idea.

Sounds like a good idea.
Use a player server maybe backslash/james?
For the attendance use a football(english) type league table with the fleets arranging between them when and where they meet.
An example of scoring - where the most ie 4 enemy dead and 4 ships still alive (on a 4 vs 4) getting the most points.
with the event being the semi finals and the final.
Just a thought to try to get around the attendance problem.
