New Ideas for MA To consid: Part 4: Space Hazards, or "Black Holes Suck"

[BenCoyote]

Now that we have the first 3 parts done, let's look at part 4.. and this is where Space gets downright ugly and it seperates the men and women from the kids who just want to wander around a store looking for the toy department..


Part 4. In space No one can hear scream as you are being killed..

Space is a forboding place.. Just ask any astronaut or cosmonauut.. (or Kerbalnaut or space pirate, or pilot

Sure they have vaccuum done right.. and sure you're in a vacuum and you are killed either with a sngle shot to the head, or by having your lungs geting now air, but then let's be honest... but let's be honest,, Space is more forboding that that..

Re-etry into a planet is one thing.. just ask the 7 dead columbia astronats (No disrespect for them). But space can be more foboding.. Asteroid fields, Nebulas, and yet my favorite item, the black hole..

Black holes in some space ar games have been around since the dawn of computer gaming.. also Suns have been too, and let's not forget those asteroids and Nebulas..

In short, Space can be dangerous if you take that warp engine and miscalculate.. it's the same as Mine essence TP jumps.. Make a mistake, and you end up being some mob's lunch..

Same thing goes here but you could actually jump into a black hole. and that would really suck.. No no, It would really suck.. But then we all have the revival points..

But this brings up a new angle.. straegy.. No more of this "T-hopping:" AScross space.. and since we established Part 1 with PVP some of thes black holes could be around near by stations that hasve no safety zones.. GHret for al you Nebula Virus guys and Pirate wannabes..

But remember space cuts both ways.. you could guess wrong and get you and your space ship killed and decayed by flying into the center of a star, or even falling into that black hole..

In short, you have to calculate carefully and do it under pressure.. and not be shot at a, at the same time..

Again refer back to Han Solo in Star Wars.. He had to do a Warp jump under pressure and look where he ended up? Right next to the Death star right after jumping into what used to be a world.. that was killed..

In short, a bad misjudgement and you cold end up in that hole, dying...

sure the pirate wouldn't get your loots, but gain think Death Star. You're now Surrounded by Pirats in a Non Friendly zone, and you either do one of thwo things. Fight your way out and lose your loot, or give it to themn without firing a shot, and learn not to do the same mistake again..

Now add to that the space Mobs, and this includes the Robot drop ships and you got one hair raising ride.

And speaking of which. don't let the mobs sit in certain areas. let themm be "Free range.. once you enter PVP space mobs could be anywhere and they would be the only things that have triangles around them...
other than that, you could have ambushes in Asteroid fields, and coutner plots.. the sky's the limit when you are a pirate.. Strategize, don't camp.. Shows how lazy you are.. be actie, hunt your prey..

(Seems better to be a pirate.. if you want to be..)

But the point is this.. new skills could be added, Sfor every positive jump you get a Space Navigation skill, and it has to be correct... else no skill line.. Makes those new Space Nave and Space Piloting skills worth more..(and I bet some of you guys who want those skills would pay a pretty penny fort them..

MA wins, you win..

Finally the final part.. Part 5.. Tying it all together, and making space what it is..
