Continuing a discussion we had in the chat about adding more prize ships. We came to the conclusion that some prize ships are just undesirable, and the way to solve this is to create a 4th prize category. Tell me what you think of this setup.
PS: I started on this project in an effort to give Rogues some prizes relevant to Earth, and Zeon 1st place an Earth prize, fyi.
EF 1st place
- Magellan II
- Pegasus II
- Thoroughbred
- Blanc Rival
EF 2nd place
- Zephyr Phantom
- Heavy Fork
- Everest
- 6x lvl2 Admiral A-1
EF 3rd place
- Archaic Magellan
- EFF Submarine
- Fuji
- lvl3 Weldea
EF 4th place
- lvl2 Archaic Salamis
- C-88 Medea
- Burstliner
- Columbus II
ZEON 1st place
- Orbital Satellite Grid
- Tivvay
- Chivvay Admiral
- Zanzibar Interplanetary
ZEON 2nd place
- Jormungand
- Gaw Recon
- Jotunheim
- Musai Scout Type
ZEON 3rd place
- Gallop Assault Type
- Zugock
- Zakrello
- Pazock
ZEON 4th place
- Rhinocerous
- Fat Uncle
- SS Special Forces Operative
- lvl2 Komusai
ROGUE 1st place
- Bernal Sphere
- Suitcase Nuke/Nerve Gas
ROGUE 2nd place
- Floating Dock
- Double Agent
ROGUE 3rd place
- Automated Interplanetary Drone
- Catamaran
ROGUE 4th place

How about giving Rogues access to the other categories?
It could be balanced out by making them select from one rank lower than they placed.
So basically if Cid won first place in a contest then he could opt to take a second place prize from either EF or Zeon.
I'm basing this suggestion primarily on my lack of enthusiasm for anything that the Rogues are offered.

Floating Hideout? So it would be a hidden base on water? And would the submarine come with an eclectic crew of screw-ups and malcontents that individually fail at life, but combined can defeat the most overwhelming odds? Ok, ignore the second part, but this really is an improvement. And what's the deal with the Double Agent? Is it going to be like a Rogue Hans Bond, but better since it's a 2nd place prize? O.o

The double agent would just be a free password.
I'm putting it in so that if a Rogue wins 1st place, and nothing shows up in his inventory, you don't know if he has a nuke or if he has your board password.

Blanc Rivale is a heavily modified Pegasus ship that was at California Base when they were retaking it. It's much flatter than White Base. It has superior weapons to the normal Pegasus class. EDIT: It's the ship being attacked in the first battle of this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jXfN-AWziwBurstliner was one of the doodads in MS-X, aka shit that they didn't get to stick in the anime but meant to, like Act Zaku. It's basically a subflight platform with a gigantic beam cannon on it. www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/ms-x/burstliner.htmI don't know too much about the Satellite system, other than that it's supposed to be a great ground tool, Ketara was tossing around ideas like being able to scout bases anywhere that weren't underground. |

I'm putting it in so that if a Rogue wins 1st place, and nothing shows up in his inventory, you don't know if he has a nuke or if he has your board password. So it's just a free hacker service? Honestly a Rogue would be stupid to take it over a first place prize. If nothing shows up in a Rogue's inventory then there will likely just be a slow down on side board activity for a week as safety. And a Bernal Sphere would be more valuable than a Double Agent even to an Earth bound rogue. Hell, I'd say the Sphere is one of the best things available out of all the prizes. |

Maybe the Zanzibar II could have a special pilot so it's not just something you can buy in the shop.

I have never felt the rogue prizes were worth the effort.

Anybody who even thinks about insinuating that our prize contests are too difficult is being forum banned, I don't want to hear retarded opinions.

The double-agent seems a little over-powered, and if taken would more than likely kill board activity.
