Has anyone else heard this? <3 <3 <3 | ||

I have an idea for a radical change to the rules for the alliance tournament that I feel would make it substantially more fun to watch, and would add a lot of strategic depth to the matches. It's basically just capture the flag. 2 cans on field, one for each team. The objective is to get to your opponent's can, grab something from inside of it, and move that item into your own can. Cans are 150km apart, and you automatically start the match at your can. There is no limitations to grid size, and you can warp off grid and then warp back, the only drawback being that you are forced to warp back right on top of your can. A ship carrying the loot from the can cannot warp, however. First team to get the enemy's "flag" back to their can wins automatically. If no winner is determined through this method, then it goes to points scored just like it currently is. Team structure is setup using the same point system that exists (or slightly modified, but overall it seems pretty reasonable). You could have teams designed to simply get to the can and back as fast as possible, or teams that are designed to prevent the enemy from ever reaching your can through webbing and scramming them, you can have teams designed to kill the opposing team before they could possibly grab the loot and return with it, and who knows what else could be done with this. With a fairly large distance (150km) between the cans, it makes it so that it will take some time to move between the two, so coordination of an entire fleet would be paramount, since getting caught out of position would end it pretty quickly. And the ability to warp out and back on field would force teams to fit disruptors and scrams to keep targets on field to finish them off. | ||

I think the big downside of the idea to me is that it's even less like EVE than AT already is. AT needs to be opened up, sure, so that the interesting aspects of the game can seep in. But delivering items to cans is every bit as arbitrary as "warp in and hope you land at a good spot and aren't hard countered". We could have warping, planets, customs offices, the sun, even stations. The best way to do this is to remove arbitrary restrictions rather than to add them. Practically speaking, it's just not possible because CCP doesn't seem willing to develop a dev-only viewing system that isn't extremely primitive. If they could effectively monitor a system-wide engagement, AT could not only be 100x cooler, it could also be a pretty good representation of small-gang skirmishes and a much better platform for promoting teamwork and player skill rather than metagaming and dice rolling. | ||

that would tie the AT straight to normal tranquility gameplay, would be great advertisment for the new sov system and would push interesting theory crafting that could seep into the nullsec game, as well planned and executed small scale fleets can make an impact. | ||

I really do like that idea, but I'm not sure how well balanced it would be between the teams, and how would you determine which team gets to be which? i thought more about a domination game, like 5 nodes in the system who holds 3 of them for 5 minutes or all 5 at one point in time wins. (the biggest problem for the tournament i guess is that the entosis would need shorter cycles and shorter capture times) Edit: ok i just realized we call it the alliance tournament, when it is actually a small gang tournament, this domination style tournament would need closer to 25-50 people per team. i enjoy watching the current alliance tournament format quite a bit and the biggest improvement i want to see about it is better observation/observation tools | ||
