KSP multiplayer interplanetary battle

[1337kitten]

I'm sure this is going to be done by someone at some point in the future

I just want to make some suggestions for whomever turns KSP into a legitimate war-game. btw I have yet to play ksp multiplayer but I have heard a lot about it and hope it can become similar to minecrafts multiplayer mode

• Have (optional) opposing factions (2,3,10?) instead of individual players battling it out. (so noobs can find protection under fellow faction members)
  

• as for bases on Kerbal, there's plenty of space on the equator for different factions/players to launch from. (it doesn't have to be on the equator, its just the best zone for launching spacecraft)
  

• make all other opposing factions invisible to the player on the map screen. (make it necessary to install long range/short range scanners as well as telescopes on their spacecrafts. or even the need to "eyeball it")
  

• The ability to track opposing spacecrafts by planting a bug via EVA (and the owner wouldn't be able to get it off until they notice it and EVA out to detach it)
  

• Make no spacecraft safe from hijacking/pirating (can't imagine how it would work with already occupied craft, perhaps a Kerbal slap-fight animation is in order)
  

• players could use something like KOS to develop unmanned defensive turrets (I say KOS because just adding some plugin for auto-turrets would be to easy).
  

• also no weapons mods (building Kerbalish weapons is too much fun!)
  

• maybe have a few extremely useful parts scattered across every planet/moon that would need to be transported back to Kerbal in order for your faction to unlock or have your faction receive some sort of bonus for landing on eeloo or something (this would give factions something to do instead of simply fighting each other)
  

• if possible, on time-warp (I know it would be difficult to tolerate waiting hours or even days to get anywhere useful but its hard to coordinate an attack when half of everyone is in another timeline. plus it encourages players to launch and attend to multiple spacecraft at once, giving others more things to shoot at, and if you want time-warp go play regular ksp)
  

That's all the suggestions I have at the moment. I can't wait to see what a true multiplayer battle in Kerbal will be like. Hopefully it won't turn every server it runs on into a debree filled mess that boggs down everyones machine.

As has already been pointed out, suggestions involving weapons and warfare are on the WNTS list, so I'll be locking this one up. Have a nice day
