    I understand this would take a bit of new coding to make work, but ...

    Wildcard Events:

    Each player gets a generic boat with 8 empty slots (with maybe 12-14 slot points) and some average of base stats (for defense, speed, agility, etc). The player could equip any combination of items and item types they wanted.

    Ideally, the boat appearance would change based on the type of items equipped. Matching would be based on gear score.

    It would be interesting to see the combos people come up with: 6 shields, 1 overboost, and a carronade .. or dual tesla shields, 5 weapons, and duct tape .. 4 reds/3 blues/1 repair pulse ..

    Side note: The number of selectable item slots for the battle screen might be a little funny if 8 selectable items were used - so that might need some tweaking.

    instead of your idea , its more simple if you just add 1 slot point for every boat , imagine shooter with 9 red slot point , or defender with dual big shield without lossing blue slot , dual TS speeder , enforcer with 4 slot point so you can bring any 2 slot weapon to enforcer , or fixer with triple pulse or big shield with turbo or bandage

    I mean .. that's an idea .. but I would be super annoyed the whole event .. speeders with a double bubble, defenders with 25k health, shooters with 4 fire bombs + mine, enfos with rail guns...

    you forgot to add tournament standard (maybe?)o_O
    wild inventory.:rolleyes:
    whacha do there is you have a heaping pile of parts, cells, items needed to upgrade ships / nerf them (and upgrading items too);)

    EXTRA IDEA: please make it so you can weaken your ships (but then upgrading will be free (only to the tier you've unlocked));)
    but before that, fix seal clubbing.;)

    rovio needs to improve the system:)
    Me: 31 flare, 30 xcannon, 20 ob (sad me), 10 nitro (stop), 10 tb (tesla bolt fyi), 31 turbo, 40 shield (the only rare item).:oops::(
    when you use say t2 epics, with t4 (beraly) epics, the game makes you 'seal club':rolleyes:

    g1itch? :p:rolleyes:

    what am i doing at 11:25 in the night.
    i should be sleepingefwhhio;foewhoiwefqhooooihiefffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

    Would we only be able to use our own gear? Or does event have a fitter shop with event use only gear to use (don't know how they'd go about item lvl and rarity lol)
    I only ask cos I run real light on items lol I only have 7 guns, 3 shields, 1 turbo, stun, bubble, nitro and over drive and 1 bandaid lol that's every thing I have except doubles for evolution so if we're stuck with just our own gear I'd be using my normal setups lol

    idea:
    special inventory / heaven: infinite gold , items, cells, parts, you name it.
    you can also upgrade and deupgrade your items and ships/ or you can find the average mk level, meaning you can swap between say mk 5 - 6.
    when you deupgrade your ships and items, it gets weaker btw.



    extra
    mk 1 = 5% gear score to items

    mk2 = 10% extra

    mk3 = 15

    mk4 = 20

    mk5 = 25

    mk6 = 30

    mk7 = 35

    for less seal clubbers ;)

    This would be a bit trippy for me...! Seeing a fat defender pig speeding around with overboodtvans nitro would just be awkward! :D Lol
    I would definitely enjoy the play though! I will say though, with that structure, I’d be able to have a full legendary build except for my lvl 40 duct tape; and there are plenty of LG duct tapes out there so killing people would be difficult as hell! I imagine it would be ship after ship of 20k health, many with stout duct tape... it would be fun though, for sure!

    Along with the separate inventory for the event, you should also have a separate training tree that is maxed out, and you can select what you want to.

    Also, the ultimate setup would be:
    8 gearlube

    Jk

    How about:
    Big shield
    Standard shield
    Duct tape
    Duct tape
    Duct tape
    Duct tape
    Flare gun
    Explosive cannon

    Wildcard implies that there is an element of randomness and/or limited selection, so my suggestion would be the following:-

    A. Player can only select a ship type and all weapons are standardised for that ship type. Example (using Mk4 as base), Shooter will get Standard Cannon, Swift Torp, Mine and Standard Morter, Big Shield and Turbo.
    B. Player can select ship type AND suggested weapons loadout - eg Long Range Shooter - Sniper, Long Range Mortar, Missiles, Railgun. Close Combat Brawler - Carronade, Grenade, Blast, Flare.
    C. Player can select ship type BUT all weapon loadouts are randomised.

    All the items would be at the same level, say Rare Level 35. This would ensure that it will be the player's skills and knowledge of the maps & tactics & teamwork that would be the main decider of matches. The only variables would be Captain Level and Training and matchmaking could be by Captain Level, for example, Captain Levels 10-20 would be Mk3 Ships, Capt Level 21-30 will get Mk4 ships, Capt Level 31-40 get Mk5 ships, Capt Level 41+ will get Mk6 ships.

    Matches will be of ships at the same Mk level.

    Love the wildcard idea - we've discussed quite early on a few variations that also include playing around with random elements.
    Definitely something we will look into. As you already pointed out, it would take some time to properly create. No matter when it's possible - the idea is great and appreciated :)
