IDEA! Dev Team/Gm event on a 1-6 month basis..

[MrVicchio]

Here ya go, imagine this...

Once every 1- 6months, depending on the Dev/GM's they initiate a 2 week in game event, that culminates with one of the three empires obtaining a single, gravity bomb ThermoNuclear device.


This would be a big thing, thus the large spread between events.

At the outset, each empire would recive a tidbit on where the materials are to be found. Lets say the planet has no natural sources of Uranium or something like that, thus the only way a bomb can be built is if some falls in the form of a meteor or something like that (Make it semi-plausable).

There would be say 3 components that must all be obtained at the same time to "get the nuke" Each Empire would have a piece of the device. They would then have to get the other pieces.

Now, here is the thing, each empire would know where one peice is, NOT thier own. They would have to find/discover this on thier own. Once known, there would be a massive campaign to get the needed items.

Once one side or the other has all three parts, they could then make a single, high powered (I vote on the 1-10 megaton scale myself) Nuke. The top 10 ranking commanders would then vote on a target and select a pilot to drop the weapon at a chosen time.

Basically, by using this they could in essance gain a base in a single fell blow. The graphics for this would be fun for the team to do, and impressive to those that witness the attack.
The entire Empire would get some sort of morale enhancement that would last a few days or maybe a single burst of EXP for this... to make it a real team effort.

I think something like this could be a real fun, and powerful tool to build inter-empire rivalry.

What do ya'll think?
