PvP Foundry Challenge

Hey Branflakes...

Could we at some point in the future have a foundry challenge with the objective of building an arena style map for pvp? (Ground and or Space)


Then in a similar fashion to the current contests... we publish X mission.. let people choose their favorite map... then whatever wins then goes to cryptic for editing (PVP spawn points(Red/Blue), Hazards, Pvp intro/exit Dialog etc..)

Then you devs do your magic... and boom... we have a new pvp map to kill each other on. :)

    I think that would be a welcomed change to the existing maps, maybe even thou in a protected spawn area?

    It's something we've kicked around many times over the years along with the ability to make social maps and STFs. But it doesn't hurt to keep bringing it up :)

    Is there already another thread regarding this? I didn't think to look before I made this one.

    Have talked about this for some time. Mentioned it a lot during the earliest episodes of The Foundry Roundtable. Two of the most critically ignored sections of the player base could really help each other out in a variety of ways. It's a community building idea.

    I like it.

    I think it is a great idea getting bored of shanty, i would love getting maybe even some more game types like king of the hill or capture the flag.

    This could be a great way to increase the variety of maps available for PvP, it would also show that Cryptic still cares about the PvP community.

    It would allow PvP maps to be created without creating additional work for environment artists and would only require map the map to be set up as a PvP and spawn points to be added.

    Not to mention anything that adds to the utility of the foundry to support and enhance the wider game is a great idea and can only benefit STO as a whole.

    That sounds like a fantastic idea! I would love more places to chin people :D

    Having a map rotation for assult would be such a nice change!

    I have an idea in my head that is a tribute to the old Aliens v Predator game.

    The object would be capture the flag. IE get to the enemy base and interact with a console to upload a virus into their mainframe. Or steal data.... something like that.

    In between the two bases would be a labyrinth of interconnected halls and rooms, but with doors that close whenever no one is near them. :D hehehe...

    Switch the mainframe consoles around in shanty town and you have a "Capture the Flag" for the ground.

    The guys from the PVP Boot Camp could benefit from something like this.

    I read awhile back they were setting up a tournament that would take place across the STO in a form of colored territorial control. If we could get some more maps out for pvp they boot camp trainers could use them in that tournament. In addition it'll add more variety to the pvp games.

    In fact, if it gets cryptic s support could be a new branch of the boot camp. Instead of getting the "PVP Boot Camp Coach or Graduate" foundry winners could get a tag along the lines of... "PVP Surveyor"

    While it won't solve the problem with the P2W consoles and so on, it would be a thumbs up from cryptic to both the foundry and pvp communities.

    The original AvP games were the best.

    Yes, it is quite good, but it gets a tad old when it's the only one... :(

    The main difference with my idea was that, unlike Shanty Town, there would be no open air. The AvP games had very little of it in the PvP maps as a balancing thing. Aliens had no guns, and were stuck using melee only. Most of the maps had secret passages the other races couldn't get to thus letting the Aliens sneak up on the others. That and the maps had a semi-claustrophobic feel in general.

    I could probably add a few passageways only Caitians/Ferasans and Engineers(by climbing on cover shield) can use. Hmm... to reduce the effectiveness of the minimap, the halls could be setup on different altitudes so that players always have to wonder what height the enemy is at. :D
