CTF
Hi there everyone.
We were talking on 100 today about how fun the old CTF from Vendetta Test used to be. I know there is a post in the General section of the forums, but as Incarnate suggested (heh) it should be posted in suggestions. A lot of players expressed interest in maybe somehow re-creating the old CTF experience. It used to be alot of fun having 25-30 players all playing to capture the flag or defending the flag. It brought teamwork, a sense of purpose, combat, and a lot of fun to the game back then. Perhaps we could (well the devs could with our help) work on a way to maybe re-instate this fun type of gameplay.
When I was pondering the above said, The first thing that came to my mind was where to put it... Now, we could do something like having a completely different system where CTF alone just goes on (say you can warp to it), this way you could select a team (red, blue, gold) or perhaps just be on the team you are currently aligned with. This would work well for things like the players radar (without factions in this system, everyone except your own team would be red) making it easier to select targets. But, I dont know if this would lower the amount of players that played this, or if it would mess up the player base in the main system also eg. everyone playing CTF and not playing the actual game... These are just my thoughts, please anyone that used to play CTF from Vendetta Test post your suggestions here.

Doesn't make any sense to me. It's like the people that constantly urge the devs to go back to 9 sectors and Space Quake. Move on, and enjoy a game that has some depth. If you really don't have the attention span for VO, well, I think you can still buy Quake III.

i agree with you, niut. we need more group based stuff to do.
CTF if brought back should be brought back as a sporting event in its own area of the universe, like the racetracks
when entering the arena sector you would be assigned to a team and let the battle begin!
when dieing you would respawn at your home teams station to buy back a ship
Statistics could be tracked to see who is the greatest space athlete of VO and aside from bragging rights and some cash there would be no other reward other than a good time.
once the event was over (time limit to an hour or first to 10 for example) your home station would be set back as it was you would go back to your regular VO lives

I imagine the devs or the community could massage CTF into the universe as a player/dev organised event of some sort.
heh also here comes another [Stamp of Disapproval]™
Is there a reason for your disapproval?
wow rogue.. thanx for the insult. It's not that I or anybody else does not have the "attention span" for a more in-depth game. I was just simply thinking of bringing something back that would be fun for a lot of players and that could give peeps something to do when nothing else is going on...
