Million Exploding Suns Season
Personal battles involving various characters are fun but perhaps it's time for something a bit more unique.
Million Exploding Suns Season (MESS) is open style battle arena where instead of humanoid fighters we challenge each other with spaceships. So long it isn't too overpowered you are free to choose any kind of spaceship, be it original or imported from an existing franchise.
Have you ever wondered how a fight between the SSV Normandy and the Millennium Falcon would play out?
You wish to face tribulations as the crew of the Enterprise?
Perhaps you have your own original idea in mind?
This game can allow it all.
In regards of players it all depends on the conditions we choose. It could be a duel between two spaceships, a skirmish-like battle scenario with two teams fighting each other to the eath or perhaps we can invent other game types.
The main divergence from classic arena matches is that you fight with warships in space.
But before we begin crafting plans to conquer the galaxy we need to work on a few things.
You can leave the CS scheme to me. I have a fairly decent idea in mind. I'll be posting that later.
Aside from that we would need maps specially thought up for space battles. Unlike some purer arena matches the "terrain" can be rather important here.
I would also like to discuss some points with you in regards of how to balance ships.
The general idea is that none of the individual ships can be stronger than the other.
Either that or a tiering system, but the latter would only work if we would get so many players for it.
I'm not that optimistic for the beginning.
Anyways, there are a few things we may want to discuss.
Alternatively post here if you are actually interested in this type of game. That's the main point of these threads anyways.
