hi,
i have a new idea for a game type i wonna share with you.
that game would start as normal. it would go like this for 3 days. each alliance has a chance to 'harvest' enough money.

now they nominate 3 members for the championship. so after the 3 days the battle start. 2 teams have to fight each other

t1----+
winner 1-----+
t2----+

champion

t3-----+
winner 2 ----+
t4-----+

the winner team has to fight the other winner team until one team is left.

basically it would go like that.
the fights would take place in a special galaxy that only the teams can go in. everyone else can maybe get a spectator (watching) role or something

Define fight, define winner......

it's just a first shot of the idea.

each team gets a time when they can enter the arena (means a special galaxy) who gets podded inside that gal is out. the first team where all 3 members are podded has lost. the other team is therefore the winner of that battle and gets invitation for next round.

ships guns exp ect?

I suppose they trade for 3 days to get their exp, ship, guns etc...so it all depends on your alliance too. But don't waste your turns cuz you need them in the arena...

you need to find a balance bettwen having enough turns for the arena and xp. fighting with 0 xp and full turns is probably not the best way.
you don'T know who your enemy is (in advanced) so you don't know what xp your enemy has. i think all this uncertain things can really spice it up.

Interesting idea, certainly a different one. Not sure how popular something like this would be time will tell I guess

There should be a limit on what races can join the group... maybe have classes of races, because clearly a group that chooses 3 Ik'Thornes or 3 creos will have a better chance than 3 Nijarins or 3 Humans.

Say 3 classes and there has to be one of each of those classes of race perhaps?

We will see a lot of groups of 3 people sitting in front of an uno.....

yeah. uno would be a bad thing. maybe we can spread out shield booster in that gal. small things you can pick up and they give you 25/50 or even 100 shields, depending on the type you just found. (like the health packs in ego shooters)

That would just cause the same effect, people running away to go grab more shields in a fight.

I don't see why there should be any way for them to uno in the fighting galaxy. Once they are in there ready to fight it should be to the death with no way to replenish yourself. That being said, perhaps a no force dropping should be added so that we don't have a scenario of people just running around single mining the place to lower their opponent's defences before actually engaging them.
