Thoughts On The Next Version

Here are some of the things I plan on including in the next version:

Mine Racing
Mine Racing, an additional server mode, will pin the two teams against eachother in a race to mine the most rocks and gather the most resources in a timelimit.

New Mapper's Entity
The new entity will allow mappers to more precisely designate the spawnpoint of flags. This entity is not required, but helps for flags that are currently being spawned in lakes and things. This entity will be invisible to players.

Player Respawn Timer
This will end up being much like day of defeat. When a player dies, he will have to wait (probably about 10 seconds) to respawn.

Spawnpoint Choosing
Players will be able to choose where they want to spawn. The default spawnpoint will be their home planet, but if they own additional planets, they will have the option to spawn there (through another gui of course).

Planet Count
This will simply be an addition to the player's top bar, displaying how many planets the player currently owns. (thanks croxmeister!)
