New Event Idea! Create your own base

[Dank Budz]

A Create your own Base game. Give a couple of players like 20 bricks apiece with long expirations to create a base around their flag, There would have to be a way to keep an opening though. I'd design it myself, but I have no idea how to use the map editor. Other than the bricks there should be little to no other obstacles. I think this could be great fun.

[kthx]

Except for the part where it would be hard to keep a certain spot unblockable it sounds f'in amazing

well the map would be basic - you put a flag somewhere, maybe an asteroid circle like pub... the trick is the brick-laying. afaik it's random whether they are laid horizontally/vertically... if i remember correctly (i really should play ss haha) though they do align when there are tiles around, so maybe a sort of grid where you have a tile every 4-5 spaces arranged in a square... if you can imagine that.

it would be like

.  .  .  .
.  .  .  .
.  .  .  .
.  .  .  .

except bigger. you could then use the bricks to create a line in between two of the dots, creating a wall, etc

this would be way too overpowered

i can see it now

HOW DO WE GET IN!? THEY CAN SHOOT THROUGH THE WALL AND WE CANT!!

[kthx]

Sounds more like a 2d spaceship version of SOS than a basing game.

haha damn yup. that right there kills it.

maybe there could be two teams, but there's one person on a third freq who designs the base. i dunno. i dont even know why i am throwing out ideas

this event exists in tw already

Brick Fest!

How bout this instead, 2 players with unlimited short expiration bricks (30 seconds would probably work well) that can build bases around their respective flags, There would have to be a small unbrickable zone around the flag still (wouldn't want the flag pinned in by using only 4 bricks) I believe this can be done by throwing up a fly under graphic around the flag. The brick layers would have to be on separate freqs from the rest of their team so the bricks couldn't be shot through by either side, give the brick layers unlimited shields and fast recharge to help them out with the friendly fire. Then as the bricks expire it would open up a new entrance. I wouldn't worry too much about weather or not the bricks are going to point the right way, that could be part of the challenge if a brick winds up vertical instead of horizontal giving a new hole for shooting through. If this event already exists I hope someone will host it some time when I'm online...it seems like it would be massive fun.

cornfield

A map where everywhere is covered in greens. all ships get free cloak/stealth, no x-radar, so they are only detectable by the trail they leave when they pick up greens. Probably 1-hit kills, kind of like the weasel (in terms of bullet speed, though maneuverability can change). I suppose this can be made into deathmatch, team hunt, or one of those protect-the-queen styled games.

tennis

1v1 or 2v2, kind of like ?go ufc style. Rectangular base, solid line in the middle. Different ships have different attributes pertaining to speed/thrust/rotation (kind of like in ?go hockey). All ships also have max reps. Players would then take their appropriate places, and host would place a thor in front of the "serving" ship. Players would then rep the thor back and forth between each other until they either explode, or the they miss a rep and the thor goes out of bounds. Reps should be delayed a few seconds, no-one should be able to go directly to the center-line. Thor should be able to be seen on radar (makes things easier). If thors could somehow become quicker with every rep, that would also be fun.
