Ok...call me what you want, but I was thinking of a funny thing today. Imagine you take 1 sector in the DA. Inside this sector are a bunch of players in fast prop planes.  Among them is a single 262 of enemy origin. There is a 5k alt cap,that all planes except the 262 must stay below.

   At the start players distance themselves from eachother. The 262 (Quidditch ball from Harry Potter...yes I know) enters the arena and drops down into the 5k cap area. Screaming thru weaving, avoiding the enemy...but able to shoot anyone in his way, but primarily avoiding being hit. Then exits the area, and re-enters at his leisure.

   All players try to kill this 262..while at the same time trying to kill other players, but able to wing up if they want for mutual protection. Kind of a KOTHish thing with a menace running amok, but able to cooperate to some extent. The last player survivng, OR the one who killed the 262 wins the match.

Actually a "smear the queer" arena... would be fun. BTW - when I was growing up that's what we called it....so don't be getting yer PC panties in a bunch...

Anyway, base it of the backyard football game....

One plane, when it "has the ball" would get a bright colored icon and a little icon on the screen to let the pilot know he's "it"...

If said pilot thinks he/she's gonna get smeared/shot down - you have the option to throw the ball away by a keystoke / button. This would transfer the ball to the closest plane....making that plane/pilot combo "it". That pilot has the option of keeping the "ball" or throwing it away to someone else.

Basically the only damage that could be recived would be if you had the "ball".  Other planes couldn't shoot each other. But the person with the "ball" could shoot down any plane.

The person who posesses the "ball" the longest in a session / game would win.

Not much of a Potter fan, but I understan the concept.
1 Kill shooter must be off.
2  every on the same side (save the 262).
3 Anyone getting pissed off because the were shot down by another player and flaming on the country channel or VOX would be booted from the event.
4 One life per game.
5 The 262 may NOT fire at any aircraft (weapons disabled).
6 262 drivers should be nominated by others.

This would be nuts. Sharks at a feeding frenzy. I would not miss it for the world.:rofl

"Quidditch...isn't that from those kid movies? "

 Yes.

 And as it is rated PG I'm sure that the majority of those playing in the MA have not been allowed to see it.

Phaser...I think it would be cool for the 262 to be able to shoot, but either way is fine.


  LOL "Smear the Queer"...havent heard that in awhile!

Well,
 With kill shooter off, everyone wouldbe kiling each other! The 262 driver would just buzz around, laugh and try not to hit something!

Mono -a- Mono with 50 fighters! We could make a movie about it., if we can stop laughing.:lol
