I would spend all day and night in a race sector filling the tube up, then filling 1000 sq M with mines.. talk about the boom...

How about just "repulsor bubble mines"? That's a nice concept, and fits into the current engine's capabilities, provided that the engine can separate physical effect from damage. Lay a set of those around the flag, watch and laugh as a swooping capper gets crushed into the station.

nice idea. making fireworks most likely isn't dev priority ;P
but if we perhaps helped the idea along by designing some of these firework mines ourselves
haha could be fun...
if firework energy 'weapons' existed, someone could just load up their ports and give a show...
(interesting to just think of)

Incarnate or a1k0n said they will make firework launchers in the future

"The future" is farther away than "soon"

That just made me think up a new weapon. String Mines. Basicly, its a long string, 70crdts per 100 meters or so, that you can weive into a large net, when enemys touch any point on the net they get zapped. In a way similar to lightning mines, but not quite the same.
