Tau 63 development

[frozen]

1. since BDs live on rocks, and not planets (they just aint that big to feel the need to inhabit planets IMO) id suggest having a thin asteroid field, with enough gap to let battleships through. remember, its the BD home system, so tony can take as much time he wants to get his big ship out of the rocks:P

2. putting in gunboat and/or cruiser patrols is an idea i accept with open arms. its needed. how about: gb patrols from 10-20k away from mitos, and cruiser patrols from 0-10k away from the mitos. the closer you get, the more the defences. give all the NPC patrols CDs. its needed. why? because its a guard system. any guard system should be heavily defended, thats why its called a guard system. its not supposed to be used for travelling through by random players..

3. near both the jumpholes, put small minefields to show that the blood dragons have advanced, and making thier stronghold (tau 63) even stronger.

4. the dragons are in dire need of another base in 63. at the moment its simply too bland, with a base, 2 jhs, and some weapons platforms. its not enough. so, i suggest making another base, a headquarter type. and put the fighter/bomber class ships to be sold there (so thats the BD, BD bomber and R talon. this frees up space for adding capships to mitos) there instead of the mitos. put a nebula around the base, with an exclusion zone in between (i like the nebula in tohoku, when u jump in from chugoku. the ones with the rocks. has an eerie feel to it.)

5. as someone suggested, changing the sun to the BD theme. it will further promote the fact that this is truely a blood dragon system.

6. no, we dont need a black hole. why? because it was a unique object made by nightfall for 85, and i prefer it stays there. and plus, it wont suit tau 63 anyway.

7. the starscape. i dont like the current one, its annoying. i was thinking something along the lines of having a starscape like manchester has (red), since it will fit in with the BD theme IMO.

8. as eppy suggested, i think adding a planet or two will be a good idea, with rings (like in 74[?]), or a planet, with a couple of moons..? (this is not really needed imo, but u can do it if u feel)

thats all i can currently think with all the strain mah brain is under (stoopid alarm clock...):P
if i remember anything else, ill add it later.
