So what I was thinking is that there are multiple teams.
Every team has 10 - 15 minutes (depending on the round) to build a ship within a certain pricerange.
After the building is done, every ship from every team built gets spawned in an arena where they fight until one ship is left
Like this are 5 rounds. In my opinion the rounds should go like this:

Round 1 : 10 minutes build time : max. 85000 cost
Round 2 : 20 minutes build time : max 140000 cost
Round 3 : 30 minutes build time : max 350000 cost
Round 4 : 40 minutes build time : max 500000 cost
Round 5: 40 minutes build time : max 1000000 cost
Ships made before this match cannot be used!

Maybe even make the stats per round configurable.

that sounds like a very good idea!

Ships built before the match must be disabled for this to work optimally.

yeah

#

if i remember correctly a tournament was set up like that

#

the issue is half the people lost because of the time limit

#

What's preventing players from just pre-designing ships at those price limits instead of building them on the fly?

timid marsh Oct 22, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

It'd be hard to memorise a ship beforehand and build it perfectly on the fly, especially with a timer

stray mason Oct 22, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

I'd have to turn off the ability to load specific blueprints. And even if I did that, you could just take a screenshot and copy it

rigid cradle Oct 22, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

^that is a legitimate issue that is likely not fixable

stray mason Oct 23, 2022, 12:55 AM

#

I think it's potentially fixable by adding some randomly-determined restrictions to ship designs, such as:

randomly determined allotment of resources you can use
random numbers of each type of part

stray mason I think it's potentially fixable by adding some randomly-determined restrictions...

I like ideas in this direction.
-Parts that are already set on the blueprint and are unremovable
-Restricted build shape/space

So like each team is given the same allotment of resources varying each match?

rigid cradle Oct 23, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

I think identical restrictions would be ideal for competitive yes

stray mason Oct 23, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

Probably as a default, with maybe an option for asymmetric?

tame holly Oct 23, 2022, 4:03 AM

#

Maybe but that might create too big of disparity between the players which they might find unbalanced

#

Like if someone got emps disruptors and such and the other was heavily shield reliant

#

Then just give both sides the same parts
