Different Gametypes for Blitz
Now give me a break because I thought of this when I was baked but what about like most real time action games we have multiple game types for Blitz here are some examples.
Capture and Hold (Current Blitz)
Capture the Flag Games
Flags
This gametype would require two bases with a setup like this >>>(Base)-(SystemWithCol)-(SystemWithPort)-(SystemWithCol)-(Base)
- Each team starts off with a colony two systems away from the enemy teams colony.
- A player must fly over the enemies dome to snag their Flag, It appears in your hardware bays, if player has full hardware bays the flag cannot be obtained.
- The player with the flag has their speed reduced and they cannot shoot.
- When a flag-bearer is shot down the flag remains in the spot they were shot down. and has to be flown over and brought back to be returned to its base otherwise another of the opposing teams members can pick it up again.
- A Flagbearer is always shown as a unique colour on the radar and give out alerts like: Flagbearer Neox has warped in to Alpha Centauri!
- The first team to enter their colony with the enemies flag is victorious
Precious Cargo A single-flag style game.
(Base)-(SystemWithCol)-(SystemWithPort)-(SystemWithFlag)-(SystemWithPort)-(SystemWithCol)-(Base)
- Teams still start off with one colony two hops away in each direction from a no mans land system where the artifact is held on a planet.
- Teams have to fight for control over the ancient intergalactics artifact to bring it back to their respective colonies.
- The artifact takes up a hardware bay, if ur hardware bays are full you cannot pick up the artifact
- An artifact-bearer is granted increased charisma and wisdom which in turn make the player more money and experience. The artifact-bearer can still shoot while posessing the artifact, but their speed and dexterity are greatly reduced.
- When an artifact bearer blows up the artifact is dropped where the player exploded, any player can then pick it up.
- The first team to enter their colony with the artifact is victorious if nobody does, then the team with the highest experience is victorious
Deathmatch Games
Space Cowboys
(Base)-(System)-(SystemWithPort)-(System)-(Base)
- A Simple No holds barred combat game where the team with the most shootdowns at the end wins the session.
- Players start off with more money in this gametype.
Survive
(Base)-(System)-(System)-(System)-(Base)
- An Elimination Deathmatch Game where if your pod gets shot down, You're out of the game. Oh, and pods cant teleport >:D
- No ports, No Warping back in to UN space? Thoughts?
- Last team standing wins. Start off cash is more in this gametype aswell.
Corporate Chaos
(Base)-(System)-(System)-(System)-(Base)
- A simple game of protect the CEO. Like Team Deathmatch but as soon as the CEO dies, games over and the other team wins. If neither of the CEOs dies, it's based on experience
- CEOs are marked a special colour on radar and give alerts to all players when warping in to any system or landing on any planet.
- CEOs cannot port or return to UN space after they leave and they have no pod.
Territory
Rush Territory
- A King of The Hill style game.
- There is always only one territory and it only exists for a certain amount of time before it changes to another location.
- Territories range in size and shape (but can be simply a certain layer within an asteroid belt) and are always outlined in a light blue.
- Territories can either be on planets or in space.
- When a territory is first flown in to it takes a short amount of time to conquer it.
- All enemies must be removed from the territory before it can be conquered by the opposing team.
- Time control points can only be made when there is no enemies within the territory
- The team with the most accumulated time controlling territories wins.
Territories
- The same rules as Rush territories except there is 3 constantly changing territories instead of only one.
Will add more soon but am too tired at the moment lol

Re: Different Gametypes for Blitz

Re: Different Gametypes for Blitz
What's the hot potato idea?
Re: Different Gametypes for Blitz
I voted for em all! Maybe make the game type random or something?
Re: Different Gametypes for Blitz
This is a good idea as it would help balance out gameplay instead of players who get good at a certain type staying with that game type so randomising the gamepplay would make it ..."fair" to play I reckon.... Anyways SUP IAMHERE!!! Redeyejedi here bud haven't seen u since u did that stunt on hc and for some reason never came back where u obducted?Iamhere:) wrote:I voted for em all!
