The Gameplan
This is something I've been pondering over for a few days now, thinking it'd be pretty fun. Alright, so what is Darkspace Football? Simple, I think.

There are two teams, each would have five to six players, and they are to protect the 'ball'(aka. A larger ship with a good deal of armor) from Point A to Point B. Of course, to keep it fair, the distance between the two points would be around 7-8k, or longer, so that the defense would have a chance to get the 'ball'. There will be three combat ships on each side, which can be refered to as the 'D-Line' or the 'O-Line'. Their job is to keep the other team from getting close to the 'ball'. Each side with have a supply, for the offensive team(Team with the 'ball') it'll be called the 'QB', for the Defensive Team (Team trying to get the 'ball'), it'll be called the 'Safety'. Then the teams can decide on the rest of the ships. After each touchdown, the other team will get the 'ball'. If the offense fails to get the 'ball' to the endzone, they must turn the 'ball' over to the other team. They will get to start 2k back from where the 'ball' was killed, unless it was killed near the endzone. The game will end when one team scores three times.

The Rules
- No Jumping!
- Killing is allowed, once killed you are taken out of 'the play'.
- No Dreads, other then the 'ball',due to their ability to take out the 'ball' in one hit.
- No more then one Supply per team
- Modding will be decided by the teams.
- Have some fun!
- Teams will start atleast 2k away from eachother, to give the offense a chance to protect the 'ball', instead of having it blitzed automaticaly.

Use an uberised scout as the ball, the players can push this along with tractors quite easily.

Make both teams UGTO and limit them to using extractors.

Give each team a planet in which to push the scout and score.

Give each team a spawn point so they can respawn easily and re-enter the fray.

With Drafell's ideas, the ball shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I personally think it would be better if the ball was pushed than killed.. Killing sounds too easy.
And the all-extractor is a nice touch, as people will actually have to try to survive.

I'm sure if there is enough interest, the staff would be willing and able to provide an account to play the part of the "ball".

It sounds as though it would be an idea worthy of event status.

The 'ball' could be a neutral player.. Being that he doesnt belong to either team, or it could just be a created account for the event.

The ball could just be an AI set to "fiddile your thumbs" instead of having the chance of doing other things.

problem is, dunno if the AI can be set like that, and if problems would arise trying to re-spawn it

Hypothetically, a staff member could pimp a pirate account and have him just sit there.
