Description
Hazard zones could be expanded to actively manifest hazard events.
Examples:
Navigation Hazards have an optional "type" which might actively generate hazards (eg minefield, warzone, radiation, nanites, hostileAI, blackhole etc)
-
minefield: randomly generates hotspots that spawn an active (small grid) warhead in the path of a player/ship found travelling through it. (mines would not be spawned until a random "dice roll" decided they are about to hit one, and would be removed from the world if not already exploded a few seconds later, which means stationary ships would have mines popping in and out of existance at random near them.) (edit: could also have vectors added on spawn making them move toward the player? Would also have to be a "margin of error" where they need to get at least a hundred metres into the minefield before any spawn to give a chance to back out again.)
-
warzone: hostile ships/npcs/defence installations spawn (two or more enemy factions like pirate vs factorium) in firing range of each other when a player remains in this area too long.
-
radiation: randomly increase radiation level on player while in zone.
-
toxic: player takes damage to health while in area (or to make it even funnier, play a puke sound and reduce their food value)
-
nanites: random blocks/player health take random damage while in this zone.
-
hostileAI: smaller scale hostile individual drones may spawn at random nearby (eg space pirates, space spiders, factorium, unknown) with the remove timer set somehow? (claim system?)
-
black/white hole: there is momentum added to the players direction of travel towards centre that increases the closer they are to the centre, random blocks/player will rapidly take damage and a lot of thrust will be required to escape.
-
- Damages increases closer to centre if black hole.
-
- Damage remains same if white hole
-
- drift() routine that adds momentum in a given direction and/or pulses a second of planetary gravity
-
- time displacement trapped player teleport around edge of event horizon semi randomly on black holes
-
- white hole instead of increasing damage; they are teleported to either a random or specific location in the map (admin configurable)
-
- visual effect when within 50km of edge of black/white hole (spirally wiggle thing that appears on screen roughly in direction of it from play POV
-
tweak amomaly logic to work for all zones differently ??? (ie each nav hazard type has an anomaly variant?)
-
migrate some hazard types to using on screen warning text instead of interrupting with a missionbox
