what if there was an item of significant value (could be anything) that was let loose into Sirius.
now this item would be highly coveted by all the factions. possessing this item could mean anything to an instance monetary gain or maybe just as simple as bragging rights.
this item would be brought with the battles into scheduled battles. the faction carrying the item could have it on any of their ships to try to avoid it being singled out right away. if the ship holding it is destroyed then it can be tractored in and then it's possible to go back and forth until whoever is left standing gets to keep it and claim the prize/bragging rights.
i think it would be super fun and would kinda be like a game of keep away. it could be an alternative to "me vs. you until you is dead" type of free for all battles. i mean you'll be scanning while fighting trying to find it. while the other team can trade it between each other to throw off the enemy.
talk about excitement!
now the item as said before could be anything. from a special artifact to a priceless trinket that means everyone has a rightful claim to via each Factions own unique RP story. the item could be an existing one of maybe if this goes over well it can be something Igiss can make a special icon for, preferable indestructible as that would be bad :mellow:.
maybe we can even RP it being stolen by another faction or RP it being moved from point A to point B which would allow the convoy to be ambushed. lots of possiblilties here.
i think this would make for more frequent RP events and had some spice to Sirius life.
Matter of picking a unique enough item... Could be a nomad ID - can be transfered, gets dropped when the owner gets blown up and is impossible to obtain for anyon but an admin.
i was leaning toward the idea of the item being something like a talisman or crown or jewel
that each faction had a seperate reason for wanting. in order to participate in the item battles you had to write a story telling how it was significant to your faction.
for example: The Gains want it because it holds a special connection to mother nature or something and Rheinland wants it because it's said to hold the secrets of the universe.
' Wrote:Why have conflicting stories on why someone wants it? Have one item that everyone would want but for teh same reason.
I was thinking......
Alien Hyperspace core (non-working of course)
There is a good object for ya ^-^
for no other reason than to allow people a chance to write an RP story.
but i like the one reason also. that way everyone could RP easier and not get confused
alien hyperspace core hmmmm. only question i have about that is would pirates want it? it would have to be something everyone (including pirates) would want to fight and risk dying over.
