VOBall, the greatest interestellar sport

Apr 05, 2013 Kabuloso link
This is a suggestion for a sport game, to be made inside VO. Somewhat like the race tracks. But, with a ball.

The idea of the game is to have a ball, a closed field, and a goal in each side.

The ball have a big mass, and can't be taken inside ship cargo. It always fly in a straight line, with a certain max speed, and when it hits the field limits, it bounces back.
The field would be 3D limited, in a box shape.

The players would pilot their ships in the field, and would not be able to damage each other. Instead, they would use a beam to catch the ball, hold it in a fixed distance in front of him, and pull it into the goal direction. They can also throw the ball, or even steal the ball from another ship, or kick the ball w/o holding it.
This would be a multi-player game, with at least 2 players on each side. But can easily stretch to an 11 vs 11 match.

Big ships would have an advantage accelerating the ball faster, and smaller ships would reach the ball faster... but would have a hard time to change it's direction.

When a ship holds and kick the ball, the ball kicks the ship back (action-reaction).

If the ball hits a ship, it bounces it hard, and sets it to a spinning pattern for a while.

We could have several different gears to equip the ships, specifically designed for this sport. To hold the ball from further distance, reduce the bounce effect, and other stuff we think about.

+1. More things to do in nation space, why not?
And we should add race tracks in nation space, also.

Thanks

This sport could also be like a table hockey:

But in 3D

Players would be locked on their half of the field, and only the ball is able to pass to the other side.
The ball would bounce on the field limits just like in this table hockey, but in 3D.
