axe, will gifting be permissible in kaos wast in all seriousness though, i agree with your vision of having a separate chaos zone that caters more towards "pubbing" and is more inviting to new pilots. definitely like the idea of a map with different subsections that cater to different skill levels, especially having a separate dueling box within the zone (maybe similar to the boxes in the dueling arena with a bot, except with an option to keep, add, or burn specials depending on how the pilots want to duel). if it's actually possible, having some sort of drone/auto-bots flying around in the newbie/alpha subsection of the zone would be great for helping new pilots learn the ropes. no idea how involved that undertaking would be to develop, but i'm guessing it'd be pretty tough. also, as far as the lifetime pts suggestion, i think that'd be a solid idea and i'd imagine would be doable through the chaos stat pg given that the reset stats are now archived. another idea along that same line might be cumulative experience pts or permanent rank promotions for hitting certain career pt totals...might give new pilots a goal or something to shoot for. not sure what purpose twitter bots would serve, i'm guessing zone exposure? i guess that's cool... only thing i disagree with is more bonuses. besides bonus prox,x-radar, and tune-up, i'm not really a huge fan of bonuses...maybe i'm just a subspace purist but i feel specials and stuff should be greened...maybe increase the limit for team greens to 200 or program more special/multi-prize greens? either way, great talk. stay outta trouble, champ. -raek
