advanced arena ideas

[Betelgeuse]

I would like it if the arena (or a second one) had more interesting battles.

Such as

enemies that actively avoided shots
multiple enemies all with icx
different shaped arenas such as a long corridor
you fight with a ship different than your own such as you control a cap ship in the arena
fighting someone with the same equipment as you

any other ideas?

One where there's all sorts of wrecks, and snow on your LRS. You can't see them, scary!

[Frits]

Fights using the LRS only are difficult and fun, unless you have something like an omniturbolaser and targetting ROM. Fighting "myself" should be fun (isn't that hard cos he'll aim better) but i especially like your idea of capships being made available for use by the arena. I can't think of much else except fighting Sung.

An arena with turrets and mines in it that can hurt ether combatant.

Perhaps also combining the "blind fight" and this idea:
the turrets are blinder turrets, so if you dodge well enough you can get that glimpse of your enemy. Then add some patches of nebula in it, where, if entering, you will be completely blind (with no LRS or visual),.

[Betelgeuse]

that gives me an interesting idea a nebula that you can't see other ships in (maybe not even your own all you see is the nebula) it would be easy to put in the game just draw it last

I think a "warzone" type area would be really cool. Stargate in the middle. Wrecks, defense turrets, mines, small sections of nebula, barricades set up, etc. A teamfight would be interesting, too. You fight on a team with AI ships all with defensive AIs against another team. Reinforcements come through the gate. Think paintball, but with starships
