This is not I hate Dust 514 because I loose all the time so let me go on the forums and complain. I want to be honest here Dust 514 is simply not fun there is a serious competitive attitude even in instant battles. There is always isk at risk for low isk gain which is never good because it makes you question your actions every time you pull out a proto suit. Then when you get spawn killed in a Ambush match because they spawned you right by 10 enemys you get annoyed and agitated. In other games their is no risk factor it is simply fun take halo for example matches are competitive but don't give you a huge risk factor so you can enjoy it. They have a map editor so you can make zombie maps which everyone enjoyed in Halo 3 and this makes the Halo games fun. This is what Dust is lacking the atmosphere is always tense and serious and the grind to make lost isk back is simply horrible. Dust needs something that gives no risk but is still fun so here are some ideas that will help make Dust fun.

I know a Arena mode is being made so these could come under Arena matches

Racing mode

Bring your vehicle into a racing match you can use free LAVS or build your own equipped with chassis, nitrous, or power plants. Players bet on who they think will win bet on your friends, a likely winner, or simply bet isk on a nooby for giggles.

Dropship version

Non-Competitive match

Bring any gear you want in to the battle without risk of loosing it this is a Non-Competitive match that gives no isk or skill points but doesn't put your best suits at risk.

Corp Battles

These battles could be non-competitive meaning no one looses anything these could be internal battles for corp members only or battles against other corporations.

Options/settings

*Corps bet isk that they will win. Winner gets the others and their own isk
*Players loose gear when they die/Players don't loose gear when they die
*8 versus 8
*16 versus 16
*24 versus 24

Player versus player battles

Can fight against other players and bet isk that you or your team will win.

Options/settings

*Allow players not competing in the battle to bet on players inside the battle.
*1 versus 1
*2 versus 2
*3 versus 3
*4 versus 4
*free for all 8 players
*Allow spectator mode
*Players loose gear when they die/Players don't loose gear when they die
*Militia suits only

Tag match

One player starts it everyone has 10 seconds to run away from him match is held inside a small city with internal space for buildings. He must nova knife someone to make them it he also has a 6 shot scrambler pistol if he shoots someone they become it he may not get more ammo. At the end of the match the last one it looses.

I hope you guys like some of the ideas here sometimes the game is just to competitive and some of these no risk ideas would help Dust become fun! I know there are hardcores here who will disagree and say things like Dust will always be a serious game but these people do not speak for the entire community. Some of us just want to go into a know stress zone and bet 500,000 isk or play a non-competitive match.

Thank you

Thank you -Eris Ernaga As far as your "Non-Competitive" layout, I'd say use a gear restriction of Militia only. Maybe even have some modes that restrict you to pre-made fits like your typical lobby shooter if you want to do some of that now and then.
