I have a game idea. (edit: Postponed for a few years.)

[Communist]

I think fleet commanding would be coolest.

Oh! New idea!

How about there are different kinds of ships in your fleet like...

Mothership - Main ship (Game is won won destroyed (?) )

Offence - Good invisibility shield and engines

Defence - dat armor

Support - Medic! (aka repair station)

sounds neat! i'd play this

i'd prefer to command just one ship and battle because if you have to keep up with a ton of ships i'd feel like there's too much going on

Quite true.

[Communist]

If most people like the idea of controlling one ship, then heres an idea for that

So, there is like 10 people on each team. Each players gets a different role (Example: One player is the mothership, other players are offence, defence, support, etc)

And I want to make this game require teamwork.

So the team that plans out a strategy is most likely to win.

Any ideas? Guys?

[.:FancyPants:.]

I don't see why any idea like this might die out!
This sounds nice, I would love a game like this; however I'd like to ask how you get the parts to build a ship. Should there be currency? Should you earn XP? Should you even have to work to get parts or should you get all of them for free?
I have seen ideas like this but if you think you can make one I'd love to send my own ideas in.

Oh yes, and make it one and team playable.
One player is with computers or something, and team playing is where you can find friends and add them to a list or something. Keep in mind I'm only giving ideas so reject them as you feel like.

The game idea reminds of games like Shellcore command and Battleships Forever.

Except online.

If this comes to be, I will hug you.

I don't know if you specified this yet, but there needs to be a type of currency that lets you purchase new parts to add to your ship. Based on the status of your ship, you will be assigned a rank, and you can find servers according to that rank you have. With this feature, you can fight against ships of your level to earn currency and move on to a higher rank. Once defeating an enemy team, the currency gained will be divided evenly among your team, and if there's any extra it goes to the one controlling the mothership.
And, if it's not too hard, more than one team can play on a server. There would also be a team limit to make sure it's not too much mayhem. When you join, you're assigned to a team available with a random position. Once all positions have been filled, the match will start.

EDIT: Also, you can invite friends to a game to your team. And team chat before the match starts, and during the match.

Neat. I would play it. As long as there isn't a huge monthly fee.

[Communist]

Ill tell my dad about this when he gets home. Everyone seems to like this idea, so I will take to him about it.

Due to everyone liking 1 ship over an army, I guess this is going to be like that. Poll over.

I hate monthly fees. The best games are the ones you pay for once, play forever.

new poll

[Coulmbai]

I feel like OP is battlebrain

Also A leveling system + currency sounds good

[Communist]

My idea of the poll -

Currency System: As you level up, you get upgrades. Say, you don't have your most wanted upgrade, called Example 1.  Another person has Example 1 but hates it. You can buy the upgrade from him for like 10000000 in-game money.

XP System: As you level up, you get points. With those points you can buy upgrades from a store.

Get everything free, noob.: If you don't get it, I fell sorry for you.

Should I keep the graphics pixely or high-res?

[xxxxkill]

I honestly would like graphics like this.
I dunno, maybe it could be considered a rip-off of Battleships Forever.
