Poll: Alert System

[HuggieSunrise]

You know what I want.

frankly any reason for you to hang around isn't bad either and thats what i would more or less vote yes to. Cause frankly nothing you do here leaves us worse off. It's always been fruitful exploration of what can be done. or very important improvements. i mean lol. how often do we get neat stuff like this worked on tested an implemented within time?

only when alleys around

Here's an idea for an Alert event:

Nomads vs Order - Omicron Major

Console Message:

"The Order is gathering a fighter fleet for a daring assault on the Nomad Hive at planet Akabat in Omicron Mu. Nomads are rallying defense fighters near the Ravine in Omicron 99. Artificial worm holes will open in 15 minutes!"


Duration: 1 hour

Jump hole types: 1 way only, open for 1 hour (means multiple re-engagements are possible and permitted), snubs only

Order Jump Hole:
Omicron Mu, position 24492 40 -15521 orient 0 -23 0 (near planet Akabat)
---->
Omicron Major, position -23564 -112 18552 orient 137 -68 -175 (outside of power generator tunnel entrance)

Nomad Jump Hole:
Omicron 99, position -12304 1284 6298 orient 101 21 179 (near the Ravine)
---->
Omicron Major, position -19011 -8502 25431 orient 0 80 0 (inside Nomad Generator room)


If making a jumphole inside the generator room gives issues with people stuck in walls or exploding on arrival, there could be the following alternative for the nomad JH destination:
Omicron Major, position -17574 -2023 22476 orient -19 43 1 (outside tunnel entrance)
In this case, there could be power spheres that give credits or points when destroyed inside the generator room. Or maybe a nomad Gunboat or cruiser teleported into the room, which is the aim to destroy.

If the nomad jump is placed outside the tunnel and not inside the generator room, I suppose capitol ships could be allowed to jump in, as blockades and blockade breakers, while only snubs can enter the generator room.

Hopefully that will lead to some tactic thinking and use of strategy.

I imagine such an event must be repeated and re-balanced before it's properly balanced via flying distances from spawn locations, and/or number of power spheres in the generator room.


Generally, I would hope that making scoreboards for individual players and faction tags can be implemented, and give some bragging rights on top of the fun and credits.

As much as i like the general concept, if alerts arent evenly distributed and cover only houses and "major" factions such as outcasts, corsairs and forgo "minor" ones like LWB, Coalition, CR, Council; that can cause activity shifting more and more to houses. And create even more deadzones. Seeing how last events distributed, this can be a concern.

I guess its up to the devs and admins to decide which events get implemented, with the good of the server in mind.

There is a danger that people will start spamming event ideas purely for self-promotion or promotion of their own faction, and then yell at the admins for not busting their asses working to please them (possible similarities to banned faction leaders are purely coincidental ).

Event locations should preferably be remote locations which are particularly pretty, no matter which factions are involved.

'Tenno, the balance of power continues to shift. Check Navagation for new alerts.'(Yes, shut uuuuup I already knooooow.)
to
'HEY YOU! GRN in Magellan! Get your ship out of the station and kill some Gauls, you coward!'

All in all I would like random Warframe-like alerts. Maybe throw in some generic guns for the winners XP

Imagine if we had voice actors though

just a small bump, this is happening. I've been very busy with work and couldn't get around it.
This along a few improvements to the event system is slated for development next week.

Alley was right.

Worked pretty well today. Took out an NPC OC Dread and several Rogue destroyers today. However, since I was alone I tucked tail and ran when hostile players started being beamed into the battle with out me having any back up. Still quite fun though!
