So a couple other admins and I have been sporadically working on a new admin gimmick game mode: Pod Wars. I figure it's about time that we release/test it on the live servers today 5/25 8PM NY Time on Goon 1 Heisenbee. We're probably not going to force a server restart at exactly 8PM, so when that round comes to an end we'll play that round.
For those interested, here is the link to the PR on GitHub: https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/pull/4576
To very briefly describe it here:
- There are two teams that spawn in ships on opposite sides of the map, NanoTrasen and Syndicate. They both have basically equal starts, same items, same equipment and each team has a certain amount of points, that goes up/down by killing the enemy or destroying "Critical Systems" on the outside of the enemy base ship.
- They have to mine the asteroid field for materials or set up their mineral magnet to build quality pods. And after 15 minutes, there are control points along the center of the map can be captured which provide reward items for holding them. Every 5 minutes you control a point, you get escalating rewards.
- All players get automatically cloned at lighting speed when they die at the cost of points.
On a totally unrelated note. Exactly 44 years ago to the day on May 25, 1977, the film Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope was released in theaters.
