Asteroids Maps
« on: September 15, 2026, 12:22:38 PM »
Since Hitech is making changes...

I think it would be a hoot if maps were like Asteroids.  When you go off the edge you pop up on the other side.

That would be one way to get the third country involved in cross-map purse fights.

Or add a small uncapturable base for each side into the other sides home areas.  Can be kept flat, but not captured.

I’ve suggested this too. More fluid male designs instead of the traditional, three triangle pie chart format. Not even sure if it’s possible.

Another option is when you fly off the map it turns you around and points you back at the map so you fly right back on and can't fly around outside the map. (which seems to be a favorite for some)

That would be ok, I'd also be ok with an orbital death ray obliterating you.

Or just engine failure.

If you get turned back around into the game area before crashing, you could restart successfully.

I just think it'd be funnier to see a white line coming from the sky, then a pulse comes down it and a loud "GZORTCH" sound is heard throughout the arena. :D  With 3 "So-and-so was killed by HT's orbiting space laser." messages.

Now there's a good idea! The mothership they spawned from appears off map over the plane...
