Tournament fighting league

Sep 11, 2005 zardos6 link
To add a bit of competition and excitement into the game by offering another form to impress people with your skill, or to earn money or just for those who like fighting.

What would be the opinions of adding a tournament area in grey space where people of all nations could go to compete on a level playing field.

The general idea runs like a boxing match of sorts, but in space, people pay to enter the tournament league (depending on the skill level, will be entered into which league heavy weight = high, feather = low level) this money is then paid into a holding area and is the prize money at the end, as well as a badge could be given for the winning fighter, and maybe experience points.

The rules could be along the lines of you must have a certain ship with certain guns only, no rockets, and fight within a defined area (open space or roids) and no help from anyone else, this could be heavily policed/monitored by bots, which if your caught cheating start to attack the cheater until they are almost destroyed.

Other than this brief thought i havent really got an idea of how it would work within the game, but prize fighting seems like something a pirate would be up for, and i'm sure that nations would be up for seeing who are the better more talented fighters.

For more suggestions on this could work please post, it would be fun to see this pop up in game :D

Unfortunately, I've nothing creative to add to this at this time, but I still want to say 'yes, please! Add this!'.

Great idea. However, if it happens, I hope it fits within the backstory and immersive context of VO. I've always found the race tracks to be rather peculiar. Enormous constructs in deep space, with no media events of corporative sponsorship tied to them, and no sign of the creators... If I was a real starship pilot, I'd be damned if I'd go into one of those things without knowing who made them, and for what...

Corvus-sponsored events in Odia. In enclosed arenas? Would that be too hard?

Nah, that kinda makes sense.

If I was a real starship pilot, I'd still be damned if I entered any kind of contest sponsored by Corvus, though... ;-)
