Or around maybe. But it'd be huge! And you'd be able to fly into it and stuff. If the devs respond to this post with some info on what they think i will stop poking them.

yea, and you could put a race track in it, would be a great lead in for cap ships that need to be destroyed from the inside out :) => http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/6313?page=3#105339

I'm bumping this because it's an excellent idea that needs more attention.

Thanks for the ideas. We've had these ideas in the past, but time constraints have pushed them further and further away.

So you couldn't just stick a special station in there? Or would you have to remake the whole sector and everything?

kinda related to Sedina B8, but a quite humorous idea was brought up online today. One or two NPC traders that upon hailing, reply "Hello, I'm traveling to Sedina B8 to pick up a shipment of scrap metal."

I think it'd be cool to bring back something like the old Deathmatch Sector (Sector 7, and Verasi I-5).

Just have an old, dead station interwoven between a bunch of asteroids to provide a really hazardous fighting area. While a lot of PvP occurs in Sedina B8, it is usually in open space, where there is free room to fight, but I think we need a place where you'd have to pay as much attention to where exactly you are as to where your enemy is.

Put one or two of the things in different systems in Gray space (maybe Sedina and Pelatus, or something), interwoven among the asteroids of an unmarked roid field, and unlisted on the map.

Or a sector with a truly gigantic maze-like asteroid with a hidden station at its center. The station could be a rebel Serco faction and to dock with it you would need special access codes granted only by completing a specific mission chain.

Also, some new asteroid types that would be interesting (if not totally scientifically accurate):

*Translucent ice asteroids that you can see through.

*Obsidian glassy black asteroids that are nearly impossible to see except when the sun reflects off of them.

*Glowing radioactive asteroids that slowly drain your ship's hull.

*Differently shaped ice crystals with more symmetrical structures, razor thin edges etc.

*Banded-iron asteroids with a striped pattern

*Rare gem-like asteroids with translucent blue, red, green, or amber hues.

I like the hidden station with a mission tree to gain docking privilages!!!

Something that would be cool would be to have a roid field similar to that of the ice ring in the movie "Titan AE", not a great movie, but that ice ring gave an effect of flying though a hall of mirrors, didn't know where the enemy ship was. Not too sure if the current engine creates reflections or not, but the sheer size fo the roids was amazing and looked very menacing.

There really should be a place also for those who wish to simply duel can go. With a bot that can help in the refereeing of the duels. Not a new idea I know but one that is worth bringing up yet again.

In this mirror roid field you could not lock on unless enemy is 300m or closer, otherwise it would completly ruin the point of the mirrors hiding you....

it's just a visual distraction that's all

Ah, well that wouldnt effect me much, when i fight all i look at are the radars and autoaim circle lol.....

The station shouldn't be serco, it should be nation-less. That way it's fair for everyone, not just for one faction.(I may be itani but I also am speaking of it being fair for uit as well). Aside from that, thoese new ideas a friggin awesome. See through roids, ones that drain hull, reflections! Woo damn that's cool.

Traveling Worhmhole.

A wormhole that jumps from spot to spot, much like an ion storm. The traveller who jumps through it will arrive at a random spot in the galaxy, or even a special sector...

how about a comet somewhere, with a tail that stretches over several sectors.

It looks like with the cap ships going to Sedina B-8 a player made event happened. Player made in the sense that because of it being a well known fighting area, the devs decided to make the cap ships meet their to do battle! Woo!
