Each player builds one station in Atlas. Once your station is blown up your out of the game!!!! No fulcrums or Prox mines).
Last station standing wins!
Warping hurts you because you can't defend your station.

The Clan Version of the same game uses two station located in Atlas.
Clan versus Clan or Independents with three on a side. Whoever's station survives wins! Simple!!!!!

This game is called Last Station Standing.

You could have as many clans or pilots as you want playing . In single pilot you only get one station.

Hmmm.... main problem I see, it's that you'll be just on top of your station as soon as you blow up and respawn, allowing you to cut down anyone trying to blow it up since it take some time.

Second main problm is it will be a trench war.... noone will left his station to go get another since that won't award you nothing if not the risk of loosing.

Denny makes valid points. Perhaps one side could try to protect a base while the other tries to destroy it...?

And the winner gets fresh baked cookies from the losing side.

It might also be a good idea to have the event in an unclaimed system.

Most claimed systems are maxed out and that would make it impossible to build anything!;)

Guys its just a game idea not life. The fact that we couldn't use Atlas or Saphire because you land barrens wouldn't give up any stations is very sad.
This was just a game idea.
Now I see why Reaver and other independents feel like they do.

Reaver is the main reason it won't work ... except for those pilots who have spent as much time blowing up stations. He has it down to an art, launching detonators and then deploying a shield where it can't be deactivated ... remaining within detonator range until the deed is done.

Your idea is interesting, don't get me wrong.

I just don't see why anyone should blow up his own stations to make room
when there is plenty of room to play in?

I also agree with Marvin that some techniques will make it more or less impossible
to defend a station. Some say that there is a counter attack to that but
I haven't found it yet.

Keep your ideas coming thou. Many of us have ideas and have tried them
out. Some work better than others. Some pilots "interfere" in competitions
and make it even harder:o

Wow! I never knew you could shield a detonator! Learned something today!

Twilly Frost · Post by **Twilly Frost** » Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:31 pm

There are shields in this game?

And detonators?

And...you can shield the detonators?

Oh snap!

What would be cool is some sort of "IronMerc" arena. There would be planets and other objects but no place to land or refuel.
There would be one gate in and no gate out. The place would be swarming with hostile AI.
The contestants would rally at the gate and enter one at a time. When the contestant entered the "arena" a timer would start.
When the contestant was destroyed a report of how long they survived and how many kills they got would be shown.
The gate would not operate if a deploy/build constructor was aboard the ship. Leaving the area would cause the timer/kill meter to register as zeros. Standing stats could be displayed on some sort of leader board as an addition to the news console.

Just a thought. Yes Rubber Chickens do sometimes think! It scares the **** out of us but it happens!:P:P:P

Sounds a lot like the FFA in Arvoch Alliance.

The base defense idea sounds good, with maybe only two or three teams/bases. Independants could be assigned to assist a clan team. Rules would need to be set. The target does not necessarily need to be a base. It could be a set of cargo containers in an asteroid field, or a complete asteroid field itself.

The "one way" sector sounds good, so long as not too far in empty space to strand people (like me - limited fuel capacity, limited engine capacity). A coop scenario would be good where there could be an attack on an enemy armada of fighters and capital ships. This could require about 10 or more players, good strategy and time to complete.

Can this kind of scenario be scripted? Does this game support scripts or custom missions? I have played a lot of Operation Flashpoint through to Armed Assault 2. The success of this series of games are the MP missions and scripts that are available. The feeling of success at the end of these missions is very satisfying.

It supports Quest scripting but not PvP tabulations. For that, you need to play Arvoch Alliance. Either that or have Dingo post the EM log.

I have no problems with the idea of keeping tabs on PvP results for those who wish it, and I highly advocate anyone to purchase Arvoch!
