asteroid field

Jul 23, 2008 ryan reign link
pretty basic idea that might be fun, in one of the sectors that has a large plaent in it...replace the planet with a massive and very dense asteroid field...(2 or 3 times as dense as the biggest ones currently ingame). the effect would be almost like a labyrinth. some roids could be stationary others might spin. it would make for some great and challenging PvP or racing...and down the line it could have other uses...ie, if its on a border of Serco/Itani space fighting over resources, there could be nation missions to patrol it etc...etc...

I would love to see this as a barrier around the WHs of Deneb. Would need to be, oh... 3,000-5,000 meters thick.

YES.

fyi there are already sectors out there with very dense asteroid fields, just not in commonly traveled sectors! Also, just as a side note, the sectors I refer to have massive lag issues (probably cause my machine is slow?) and are completely useless for any form of pvp or racing =p

Very large, dense asteroid fields are coming, but they will be coupled with fogging effects (radar extenders will be usable there).

If I made extremely dense asteroid fields, beyond a certain size, most of you would have to upgrade your computers. Maybe to one that hasn't been made yet.

The density of most/all asteroid fields in the game, as well as the layout of the fields, is going to be updated. We actually discussed this at the past meeting. 2x-3x is not unreasonable. But a really dense field 3000m thick might be uhh.. a bit slow.
