We can be really creative with upgrades. I'd love to see stuff like ion cannon as a researched weapon, as well as stuff like Bombshop style vehicle bombs. Samsites is another possible defensive structure. Assuming we're having two unique teams, we can try and give exclusive upgrades to each team - an area where we can get lots of scripting input as it does not require as much skill as other areas (i.e. stuff like ion cannon or bombshop). These are just a few ideas, i'll jot down some more if i can think of them. --[[User:Talidan2|Talidan2]] 13:35, 20 June 2007 (CDT) | We can be really creative with upgrades.

The whole point of a tech tree is that there is only one. You can make branches mutually exclusive, but I can't see how it even makes sense to have multiple tech trees... | The whole point of a tech tree is that there is only one.

Revision as of 00:19, 21 June 2007
My thoughts:
Creating Buildings - I think the rate at which the building is built should be proportional to the number of players standing near it.
Tech tree research - I think we should also have one for player abilities - running speed, max health, etc. The more tech trees we have, the better, because the commander can't afford all of them and it which ones he chooses become crucial to success.
Also, MAYBE if you research one tech tree to maximum it lowers the maximum level of one of the others. This would make a team very powerful in one area but it would still have weaknesses and would not become too powerful.
Spawning - Should the commander have control of spawning? I can see arguments for and against.

- 1: Yes, we thought about making the building rate proportional to the number of builders but I forgot to mention it, wouldn't make sense to have multiple builders if the rate is fixed anyway.
- 2: That'd go with the trees' design, I agree we should have a player-ability section in them.
- 3: As I see it the commander should only be able to build new spawnpoints. Picking the spawnpoint at random when a player spawns seems to defeat the point of strategically placed spawnpoints though...
