Online combat tournament idea

[Lemmy]

Was thinking Last night about nothing in particular when this crossed my mind...

Wouldn't it be cool/nice/wonderful/narf if you could play tactical combat over the internet against other human players. Before you can play you should register, nothing special, something like this here at SG. Once you're registered you can design your ships/bases/fighter/sats and your designs would be stored on a server, there should be a max. number of design per player.

Then before combat you should choose what ships you want to use for combat.

There could also be different categories in which you can play. Each Category would have their one limitations like the max amount of resources your fleet can exist of. Or the max. ship size in your fleet, no ships bigger than cruiser for example, or only dreadnoughts.

For each Category there would be different highscores. The score you get could depend on various things, like the other players rank, the higher his rank, the more points you get. Or how fast you defeat someone, less turns = more points.

There could also be a Category in with only 4 players per combat (one on each side) and if a hex-based map was used, you could have 3 or 6 players per combat.

That's enough rambling for now , time for another topic
