I am currently in the process of making a new zone.

I have no yet decided on a name for this zone!

I am currently just finalising the ship settings (1 or 2 minor adjustments still needed).
Description:


The zone will be a fast paced (excluding the weasel without afterburners on ^^) base flagging game. There will be 4 bases each with one flag at the centre. It will be spilt up into as many teams as you want however only 50 in the public arenas at a time! There is a 15 player limit on Public frequencies and a 10 player limit and private ones. There will be an automatic public freq evener so the teams dont get to unfair.
The main idea of the game is to take control of the majority of bases. A team which holds 3 out of the 4 bases for over 10 minutes wins. If the a team gains control of ALL 4 of the bases at any one time and they hold them for 10 seconds, they win!

Short Descriptions of Ships -

Wb - Fast Bomber! (bombsfire rate highest)
Jav - Heaver Gunner (guns most damage, weak bombs)
Spider - Heavy Bomber (0 bounce bombs, high bomb damage (emp))
Levi - Anchor (3 bounce bombs, 3 mins, short guns)
Terrier - All-Rounder (average bombs, guns ect)
Weasel - Heavy Bomber (Largest Bomb Damage, 2 bounce bombs(emp))
Lanc - Long Range Gunner (longest ranged guns, 1 bounce bombs)
Shark - All rounder

At The Moment I have NOT got a bot which can do the require things (ideas from DSB bot (timer on flag control) TW (control flag for certain amout of time) EG (fast paced base flagging))
I am looking for some help with bots as I have completely NO idea. However I have managed to get a Merv bot going with Lag plugin.

The Zone Settings will most probably be up by 15th(ish) of this month (July) and map by around then also!

Please Contact me Via e-mail (u_dudetom@msn.com) if you are interested in offering any help or hosting the zone! Do not hesitate to post here either, I will subscribe to the topic to I get notification on each new post via e-mail (straight to iPhone).

So far it has been me (Johnson) with the help of Jericho who have been working on the zone!
I will update everything I do here as soon as I finalise it and test it!
I will post screenshots of the map when I have finished making it! (3 out of 4 bases done, centre needs adjusting). Ooo I have just remembered something as I mentioned the centre! Ships will zone randomly around centre (no safety zone in centre) and two safety zones will be made for afker's at the Top Right and Bottom Right of the map (you will see where when I finish the map!)

Currently the zone is called "Space Place" and is up from around 11am (EST) to around 8pm (EST) with some downtime in-between those!
However I would prefer to have a host with SSC Billing who can host a subgame!

Sounds good, but just a suggestion: Think of how the gameplay relies on population. At minimum you need 4v4 in order to really play, and that doesnt seem fun. Alot of new zones come out and the gameplay is relied on big pop, and thats how some zones become unsuccessful. Not saying you cant get pop or you zone is gonna die, but just merely suggesting.

Yes I have thought about that.. As I know it won't get population right away, I was thinking of somethig like a smaller "dogfight" sort of game around centre. Maybe having a seperate target (open to suggestions) like balling or something? Maybe having the bot "activate" the main game (described above) when the people I the arena gets to something like 10..

I am welcome to your critisisms don't worry, just give ideas to help me improve too ^^
