Hey guys, so I've returned to forging now and for my first project I made a frigate. It's massive and takes up almost eight tenths of the total budget. Included on the frigate are point defense turrets that look awesome(thanks to given to fly and urban myth for helping out with those) as well as a functioning MAC cannon and six HEV Drop pods that are the currently the only way you're getting to the ground alive on foot. Yes that's right- you need to be inside them otherwise you don't survive the fall.

Anywho, since I still have some objects and budget left I'm wondering what I should do with it because I would like to make it playable (e.g. Invasion, infection, Assault, ect). Feel free to throw out any ideas you've got.

That's awesome that you have to be in the pods to survive! Very nifty, rifte. I think you should come up with some totally awesome Asset-like gametype for Reach and use this for it

Is it possible to set all the objects you've used from 'fixed' to 'normal' gravity? if this is possible you might be able to make a jenga style infection game, where zombie banshees blow that ship up until there is nothing left for the humans to stand on. Maybe a Custom Powerup as well that allows you to fire the maccannon and kill the zombies at round end.

Just an idea...

I was wondering what this was. Anyway, definitely implement the drop pods into some gametype. It's awesome that they are your only method of survival now. I'm not sure what the inside of the frigate looks like, but if its pretty maybe make the game a race to the drop pods or something, one team fighting their way through the ship, while the other team defends. I don't know, I'm just giving you ideas. I better get an invite to test this baby though. :3:

Yeah rifte, you should definitely create a better version of the Asset map I was trying to make with your Sandbox warship. If you did that as an Invasion map, also, like figure out a way to combine the two massively amazing gametypes, you'd have a perfect game to play.

I'm not sure if that could actually work...

THanks for the suggestions everyone.

I really like the defending the drop pods part, with a bomb and bomb plant on the bottom aswell
