After this tournament is over, we need to focus on helping the CCP with the ideas about how to implement and add to the game a "Tournament Bubble" class item.

With properties such as range, key-value type lists such as shiptypes and their points value, max points, max number of participants per team, team participation either by standings, or participant list by their ingame name, timer, bubble_transparent true | false, cargohold for rewards or value of isk payment sent to the winning team, etc.

Players can do the rest, except for annual or bi-annual events sponsored by CCP, like usual.

Such level of implemented automatic may help CCP staff with more events, or require less effort from their side enabling them to do other things.

NPC/storyline content can also profit from this, Angels or Guristas agents may give special missions inside tournament bubble, for a team of players to beat "Angel team". Sleeper AI, with team composition of some of real tournament winninig setups, so its not the same all the time and you can not know what Angels will bring. Can drop tournament beacon item for players to anchor somewhere.

Server side recorder, that would record a match, client can play it by receiving stream from server just like usual, no need for expensive video broadcasts. Also able to replay later to analyze by playing the recorded file.

(Yes many of this ideas has been posted on the forums already, come to contribute)

Heh, it would be cool if an NPC mission/plex or whatever involved a computer-controlled team vs. a player team where both sides are limited in ships by a tournament-like point system and the NPC field regular player-level strength ships. The drops would have to be really good though Big smile
