Ok since usually only CheF members even dare read the chef forum here anymore, I thought this would be a good place to gather ideas (Because I dont have screenshots) for my upcomming map. (I also didnt want to be color happy and hell bent on making this post look good either
)
So anyway, Im making a map that could be called simiular to "Gunship RPG" And "Space Pirate War RPG" (Both with lack features which would make them full feature games, or the lack of bug testing) However this is set in a Icy planet (For the Winter Contest lulz) where tempretures are simply uninhabitable without some sort of machine or reactor keeping the area warm. However there is a secret which the planet holds which is the reason people even settled. Now an evil group of mercanries funded directly by the Supreme ruler himself (Which we find out later is evil too) threatens to take over. [/endjuicystory]
Now I need ideas. The SHIP you control can be upgraded in TONS of ways, Size, Parts, Reactor, Cockpit Option(s), Guns, and Automated Defenses.
Guess what. I dont have too many parts and I need some help. Reactors are easy, they make the ship run (Things cost more and more energy usage ya'd think right?) Ill be using the 3 Refinerys for that, rusty, advanced, and shiny (Names subject to change, you can help too with the second 2) as well as upgrade modules for each one. Size is simple. But I need ideas for Guns (And the air unit which homes in on targets), Parts (Like energy storage, heater (To keep your ship warm), larger ammo storage, etc)., and Cockpit Options such as radar and such.
Ive got till december to finish so ill be working at a slow and steady pace, but hey, about time I didnt make a zombie map right?

I haven't played either of those maps. I'd like to see an scv as the Ship. Power ups as the reactor [scv carries it.] and powerups are limited in time.
However, using an scv as the ship limits its range.
None.
The ship is a Slow Craft, a Medium speed one, and a Fast one depending on what engine you got (I failed to mention that ;o) And it has to fly, but I got the ships down.

Well, you might want to look through the Build-A-Ship Workshop topic in Map Production to gain some ideas for parts.
Another map, called Astrogears, made by Tuxedo-Templar also may give you some ideas. His website about the map is no longer available, but here's a copy of his Making-Of page.
