A few other PVP posts got me thinking...

I want a stadium like arena. Like a huge station except it is hollow and people fight inside.

guilds could hold tournements with prize money and recruting offers or just a place to PVP...

this would solve the problem of having to find an empty sector for a duel and also the problem of being shot at while your in a private duel by non participants... plus it would just add a little something.

We could even have like a bookie system so we could all try and earn some cash on the fight. "Yes, we can gamble!" -Homer Simpson

Welcome to the Colseum of Odia.

ooo /me likes this idea.

could even be used for a PvP mission, two men enter, one man leaves.
person who leaves because the other went BOOM gets prize money or something EPIC!!!

please continue!

I think this would be great, we edged into this idea in the "Derelicts and Mysteries" thread, which is somewhere past the first page. I think this also needs to be in Serco space too, maybe moreso in gray space. The Serco have a history of militaristic games and competitions; having arenas in deep serco space would be really cool. The gray space one can include all races.

the odia system is gray space. Right next to Sedina. I was going to say have it in Sedina, but so much is already happening in that system. But where ever, as long as its in game. =)

Lots of cool ideas could come from this...

stupid

why not make the actual BP mission as a PvP-PVE?
take that mission and fly to greyspace or border sectors to kill itani players & NPC (in centurion).

stop bringing idea that not is an urge!

The game need badly priority gamleplay.
atm most of players are sitting and waiting something to fight.

I like the idea of combat Arenas.

I don't see why there couldn't be arenas in all territories, though. The serco like displays of power, the Itani would see them as demonstrations of skill and concentration, and the UIT and pirates would see it as a VERY profitable attraction!

That way specific nation prizes could be awarded, and even standing, since wiping the floor (figuratively speaking) with your opponents would gain your the respect of the faction you're fighting in. And that would also allow to have various Leagues for the fighters to try their luck on (Itani League, Serco League, etc.)

Make it either PvP or PvE, or maybe even both (if two players enter at the same time they fight each other, if a lone player enters he fights bots, which would allow the Devs to tweak and improve the fighting AI).

Betting would be a given. You could even bet on yourself!(winning, of course. Not possible to cheat the system by betting on your opponent and then losing on purpose). The fight would be announced over chat, or maybe only sector-wide, and interested players could bet on the outcome through the mission chat window. Of course, players could enter the Arena as spectators also, and bet inside.

Haha this is great. It could be like that giant hollow asteroid from old sector 13, with windows in the side for onlookers to cheer from.

Also, read that old thread ^^
some good suggestions there.

lovin' it, johnhawl.

thanks for showing me that.

Nyal- I have urges too... if you can only see your "urges" than I don't think you'll be making many women happy. (I am just joking around here)

If stuff like this was in Itani space, I think they should be temples—space borne shrines to long dead leaders, things dedicated to the Order of Eo, etc. And maybe "mind power concentration" games, though that might require a whole new addition to the gameplay itself.

Something like this should be in grey space, so that anyone of any faction standing would be able to make it to the arena to fight, making them inside nation space only limites the number of potential participants, though having nation specific arenas as well as a universal one in grey would be interesting. Once the population was large and those systems were more populated. AFTER all the other base content has been added and everything has gone though another 150 rebalancing patches and a few more "soon™".

I actually would like to see this soon. It seems simple enough (just make a big station that is hollow).

I'd like to see it soon to tie us over while the Devs can get some real work done.

=)
