Considering this is not allowed, I don't think you need to worry about that.

First part about splitting the teams i'll take into consideration, but i fully intend for the youtubers to die. Not because i want to watch them die i just don't want the contestant worrying about killing anyone or anything. Pretty much if it moves you are allowed to kill it. It will be up to the youtubers and spectators to do there best to stay out of the way. They can ether dropship around and record from that angle(Might have found a good use for first person view on dropships). Or run around in super damped cloak scouts and try not to be spotted.

The contestants are not encouraged to kill the youtubers or spectators and get no reward for doing so. But you are allowed to because i don't want them to be worried whether the person they just saw was a contestant or a spectator. I want a blood bath, you see something move you kill it with fire. This will take the pressure of the contestants and let them do what they do best and will force the spectators to stay out of the way.



On the other hand the reason why everyone was set on the same team and spectators set on another is so when people are running around looking for kills everyone is on the minimap yes, but everyone who is there is a survior you must. You won't have to worry about trying to locate someone that is hiding at the enemy homepoint only when you get there to find out it is a afk spectator that just happens to be on your team.

Yes scouts will have it a bit rough but they will just need to take advantage of their speed instead of Ewar. Scouts been having a field day for month. It will be alright if there is one event they don't exceed in ether. I would like to make it balanced and unbiased towards dropsuit roles but there is only so much i can do with the game mechanics.

1. There is currently only one corp allowed per game.

2. There has not fully be determined yet right not it will be in the city and only the city. Spread around in 7 different locations. some on the ground, some on the roofs. After it starts you are allowed to travel anywhere the thing i am not to worried about people hiding outside as everyone will see them since they are on the same team. I am still thinking about how to avoid dropships being exploited.

3. The ISK will still go to both the teammates no matter which one survivors. The team is the winner not the personal player.

I
Extra stuff: Since all the teams will on the same team the other side will be empty. What i am thinking of doing is providing the spots of that team to spectators and people with youtube channels to record the game. Without interfering, People willing to record and post the games on there youtube channel will be allowed in for free to record. Spectators will have to pay some ISK to get in and watch, the ISK they pay would be added to the prize pot. The spectators will be free to run around, they must do there best to stay out of the way, they can not shot anyone and the participating in the game will be allowed to freely kill them if they get in there way.

At first might change, i want to streamline baseline suits so everyone is where the same basic stuff. I do have a plan of latter on opening up the supply depot and let people switch out suits if they can make it to the depot alive, but they would still spawn in APEX.

What im trying to prevent is people just making suits designed to use the cheapest tactics to win. I want this to be entertaining not someone sitting in a corner with a 4 damped gal suits with a proto cloak waiting for someone to run by just to shotgun them.

There no way to enforce or see the modules equipped, that is the problem someone could bring in a proto type scrambler rifle with triple damage mods. and there is no way of knowing.

I want to try to keep everyone in the same baseline fits for now to keep the odds even fitting wise.

but then there are problems with modules. no way to check those. I want to avoid all out hiding in a corner tactics, or max roof top camper. You can win this way if you fit your suit properly and do a **** ton of damage to people below you but part of the reason i want keep it apex suits is to avoid that. I don't see the interest in just having some guy on the rooftop all match with 3 complex damage mods charging a scrambler rifle. All apex suits are general combat fit and not very specified. So you can still on the a rooftop but you won't do as much damage.


With apex you know that whatever you are running the opponent is running the exact same thing. This way it kind of evens out some of the fittings complication for people and you can just focus on slaying.



I don't want this to really turn into a who can stack the most damage mods and pick people off while they run by competition, i want to see what people can do with the prefit suit given to them.

Is there betting?
