Squad System Restructuring

I will be massively restructuring the squad system. If you would like to post suggestions please do so in this thread.

I wrote this idea out for Daniel before the Squads were released. It's not exactly detailed and could use some revising as I typed it out in RC. Bare in mind that I have never actually played Zone either.

Quote:
Let's say that each dropship only has one exit. Most of them have a couple of different exits, but there should only be one launch to planet selection. There should be another launch pad however. Why? Well, there will be a space ship that orbits the 'Zone' galaxy. The space ship belongs to the, well, for now lets say the squad council.

Every two weeks the ship will take dock in a random planet. Inside the ship will be features such as a squad leaderboard, ways of making squads, etc. The squad leaderboard does not include everyone's stats however. For the two weeks that the ship is docked onto the planet (and on the planet selection screen, is orbiting the planet) the stats for THAT PLANET will be used as the squad stats. The stats will depend on some very-complex-algorithym-I-have-no-idea-about, but it'll depend on the type of planet gameplay dynamics. That way, the squads are being judged on their ability to step up to the challenge.

The first Saturday of the first week will be a tourney dedicated to squads, and the winning squad will get a-hell-of-a-lot of points. This will be a reoccurring event, something to look forward to. The squad with the most points at the end of the week (Sunday) will get access to a special shop or something? Something like that was suggested on the forums. At the end of the two weeks, the ship moves on and docks/orbits another planet. The current leaderboard is reset, the overall leaderboard receives the points that the squads obtained, and the process starts over in a new planet.

My idea is trying to show skills of the players on various planets within their newly made social groups. It also includes squad-only events, tourneys, etc. Gets people using different planets. Every 2 weeks the planet changes, but every 1 week a big event will come up with the opportunity for major squad points.

I like the emphasis on "squad battle dynamics", as well as the prize shop suggestion - I'll keep those in mind.

I've considered some simple things so far. I'm quite confident the restructured system will allow squads to ban members, and for staff to ban players from any squad (discipline). I have a lot of other ideas floating around, but that is the flavour of my thoughts to this point.

a Monthly fee for upkeep to squad and maybe something you can put money into such as a squad safe for example incase you don't have enough money to keep the upkeep so other members can help out, and a system to allow you to buy more squad slots, more slots more upkeep cost. that'd give me something to play for.

hey why'd you think i recommended the squad safe, so your squad members could pay input into your squad if you're low, like just ask em and you'll pay it next time or somit :O

Question: Can the leader give their leadership to someone else in the Squad?

Hmmmmm it is a good idea but have in mind that this can open the door to Zone trading, you'll be able to give money to anyone which is currently illegal @ zone.

EDIT: if you can't bring money out then its ooke

I like this idea, though if this happens the price of creating a Squad should decrease A LOT.

1k to make a squad aint much,

plus the money would only be for the squad like you put it in and when it auto takes money out for a fee it'll just take it from there, plus it would make it easier to take money from a safe than the player, like the leader puts in say 20k to keep the upkeep going and other squad members can just put some money into it if they want, but you can't take the money back out.

I like the idea of squad slots. You will be able to transfer ownership within your squad, and I think there will be a rank hierarchy as well.

Still waiting for Zone to remove it's p2p restrictions like it used to be. Subscriptions are merged anyway so unless it's to keep the lifetime classics out (lol hf with that) I dunno whats up.

on topic: i like rufus' idea, whats the size limit for squads?

Whats rufus' idea?
Sqaud slots should definelty be added, as example.
I got an Dutchies sqaud and a Dutchies II Sqaud, and they r both already full, but I cant play events with them both.

A leader should be able to see how many kills his members made in the past week and in the overall time of his membership.
And he should see more stats of his members like : a precentage of his zone time played On Sqaud tag, and more stats like that.
