Match idea: knckout deathmatch

[Alex Gun]

All is simple - you die only once. If  your ship is destroyed, you appear in lobby and can become the observer, or join the other ship, if it has AI on board. Or leave
Like World Of Tanks system

P.S. Sorry my english, it's not my first language

A knockout system isn't bad at all so long as you have enough ships. Possibly this could become a nice 3v3 or 4v4 gamemode, though the games would be short.

I could dig the idea with a 6v6 game mode. Keep everything teamwork oriented.

My only concern is the metagame shift towards more survival or ranged oriented ships.

Would that really be a bad thing?

Just like current gametypes, I think it would depend on the maps.

[Mod Josie]

Larger battles would be lovely, but there is only so much pain that the game servers can take. The game must be playable on less up-to-date PCs to tend service a satisfyingly large audience. While the hard stuff is handled server-side, it would be difficult to make games much more crowded in the current system.

6x6 match.... whooah..   Total massacre
Sometimes total lgged massacre

I hope it will happen someday)

And yeah, matches of this kind would be shorter, but require more tactic skill and teamwork from captains.
I think it could be interesting even with 3x3 and 4x4.

[SirNotlag]

I think 4 vs 4 versions of this would be sweet! A new game mode would be welcome too and using some of the already existing 3 vs 3 maps would probably let them see more use.

I played a game of 4v4 one time that took over an hour. It was just a perpetual stalemate because no one ventured away from the safety of their team.
