I am pleased to debut an idea I've had for quite some time now.
Following the opening of Kevlar (thanks to Operation Jumpstart found here: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=95529505), Kevlar developers will begin work on a new concept fort.
The purpose of this fort is to force an adaptive environment on to the players, creating for a more unique game play that will bring Kevlar right up with the best of the best in terms of not only technology, but activity.
The fort will placed in a desert scene, that will be just as flat as it is rocky and mountainous. Among the scenery will be a river (and maybe a lake?), a raider's outpost, Kevlar's outpost, and the terminal area.
Now that you have general picture in your head of the scenery, I will attempt to explain the actual concept.
The fort will revolve directly around two factors: the time of day, and the weather. More specifically though, is their effect on Kevlar's weaponry.
Kevlar's weaponry will run off of battery power. These batteries will start with a diminished amount of battery power, but may be recharged by paying a visit to the power generator.
Each outpost in the war zone will be inaccessible to the other team(s), and contain its own power generator. But of course, the generator can't hold infinite power, because that wouldn't be fun, right? That's why the generator gets its power from solar energy.
The amount of energy the generator receives is based off of the war zone's current condition. Kevlar will have change time of day over time (one day will be about ten minutes). The higher the sun is in the sky, the faster the generator will charge. The lower it is the less it will charge.
Weather will also effect the war zone. When it is especially hot outside, there will be a drought. This means that the generator will charge must faster, and rivers/lakes will be lowered or drained, possibly revealing some hidden passages. When it rains, the generator will stop gather power. The guns won't be waterproof, so you'll have to resort to melee while it is raining. Water levels will rise, which may block paths that you were previously able to traverse.
All of these different conditions force you to change how you approach the terminal and how your game play will be. You have to be able to work with your team as to not hog the generator, know when to use it, and quickly adapt to the weather.
A script will be inserted that prevents generators from gathering power until the raid is official (you'll also be trapped in your outpost).
VIP badges will also be available. Certain things that you can expect to see are a gun VIP, a special waterproof type of gun (crossbow maybe?), more battery power upon spawning, more battery capacity, etc.
It will be a lot to get done, but I'm hoping that we can get it done fast to help Kevlar grow.

Bump.
I'm curious to see what people not in Kevlar think of this. |

| Wow honesty, this just got me excited and anxious to see the base in its final form. Gl building and scripting it though, it seems difficult to do. But, you can probably do it. :) |

| Don't have too many lines of script or it'll lag too much to fight. |
