I played Flag Raid tonight, and it was almost the most fun I've ever had in VO!

Devs, get us some official capture the flag action goin!!

Yeah, I would like to see this as well :D

Make it in a race tube :D If it's single sector play.

Or two stations that you can home in 4500 meters apart, with flags floating above. Then you die, you go back to your home, and if you get the flag, you have to get it back to dock to score. The stations could sell a decent assortment of non-nation varient ships and weapons. The game could be a mission you take! And no SF!

And in the middle 1000 meters could be a dense roid field you have to get through or fly way around to get back to base with your flag!!

AWESOME! GO DEVS!

Yes bring back CTF! But change it cause some nations have more systems than others! And of course, you need to be able to boost with the flag or the SF will own you! =P

Well, the options are:

Intra sector - One designated arena sector for this. Probably a mission to take, the Flag cannot leave the sector nor x amount of meters from the station.

Intra System - Doing this in one system, either a grey space/UIT one or a specially "discovered" system for it. Same as above but apply for the system. Also have a marker, re Halo, so you always know where the Flag is.

Inter System - A subset of systems/sectors, specially discovered or existing already, that one has to take the flag through. Sort of like CTC now but hopefully better.

Those are the suggestions I've seen. I favor the single sector or group of a few sectors approach myself.

This fits neatly in the compeditive nature of the Serco nation.
UiT would get in it for the television rights and betting posibilities.
That would bring in Itani to ensure it's all Done The Right Way (..or else).

So I think there should be one arena in each nation space, and international tournaments have to be held in the neutral UiT one.

Makes sense?

I'm also a big fan of the single-sector implementation, perhaps with a storm-like effect in certain parts of it (like the middle astrouid field?) when that becomes possible?

MINE THE FLAG!!!!

moldy: Intra system, with a new system to play it in, would probably be easiest (since it has been tried and found to be good).

Demonen: I agree with your suggestion about having national and international CTF arenae, but not with the reasoning behind it.

Well, tosh, I was just trying to find SOMETHING ingame-valid to pin it on. It all has to go into a context, right?
