    i had those ideas for a long time but didnt think about sharing it here, there they are.

    1. A duplicator tool that can copy boats and save them, but when you paste them it costs the same price + a small percentage.

    2. a round of only experimental props, like there is a round of teams, same thing, just with experimental props.

    3. A Really good prop , like 5000 HP and will cost around 10k, or whatever you decide, i think it will be a good idea if its like a big yacht or something, because the current best ready-boat is the inflatble boat and it hink its a good idea to have a better one

    I don't get number 2, why would we dedicate a whole round into props were testing to see if they work well or not

    1. It will "kill" most of the gamemode. You NEED to build boats! You NEED to waste time! Every second - counts! Every mistake can lead to defeat!
    You need to CREATE! Only then you can DESTROY!
    2. We dont have much Experimental props. And even if we do - some of them are not that floaty, or not even calibrated to be used as part of the boat. Thats why they are Experimental.

    Experimental means we're testing them to see if they work or not, they may end up never being added either way we don't always have experimental props anyway.

    1. This completely defeats the purpose of "Building a Boat"
    2. Not a good idea
    3. Maybe.

    This all seems a little depressing.....

    Multi Pro, although these ideas may not have been super amazing, it should not discourage you from giving us more ideas from you in the future. ;3

    On a side note:

    Make sure you always look at previous suggestions so as not to suggest something that is already suggested, not saying you did, just putting it out there for ya.

    Hmm these ideas are cool but I agree that we can't dedicate an entire round for testing boats, also copying boats ruins the feeling and people will get bored, the idea about the really expensive prop is very cool however people who are rich can just buy it every round and use backup boats and they will destroy everyone else.

    A quite interesting idea my boy but I feel as though I should interfere with that third idea for I do not agree with its conceptions so easily. That conception that there should be a prop, although expensive, with such a strong and healthy body seems rather scary and if I may add, rather dangerous. For you see, most prop combinations can't even get close to such high HP so it may only be a plausible alternative if the prop itself is very weak to all sorts of attacks so that it can have some balance.

    I do must add however that the 2 other ideas are quite swell.

    The problem is not really so much in the fact that the large prop with a lot of health that costs a lot of money would be dangerous, rather the exact opposite, pointless. It's pointless because, as previously stated above, the golden gun could still easily take anything out in 4 hits, and if anyone used that prop, all it would do, is just make them a huge target for everyone else, therefor wasting their money. For this reason no one would buy it, so it should not be put in, see?

    While I do appreciate the fact that you are providing suggestions to help us out with the content and such, I feel that, in my honest opinion, such suggestions stated are basically unfeasible in a Flood setting due to the reasons stated above in this thread. Having a duplicator tool essentially defeats the purpose of building in Flood - which is what that inspires creativity within boat designs - and I highly doubt that the community might support this motion. Experimental prop rounds might seem like a good idea, but I feel that it is too closely linked towards Prop Roulette and it is kinda obsolete to have another replica of the same kind. For the last suggestion, well, people have stated the reason as to why it simply won't work.

    I think that if we want to find some common ground here, I would suggest the possibility of implementing "template" boats into the game under a high fee. These "template" boats are generally spawned in as a last-minute resort, and it would usually cost a lot more than usual to spawn in these kinds of boats. These boats don't need to be fantastic or tanky, just something usable and reliable on if the player doesn't have enough time to build his own boat.

    That... actually sounds interesting. Sure it'd be a form of the Duplicator, but the restriction is that players would only be able to spawn certain types of pre-made boats.

    As specified above, players would have to cough up more dough in compensation for being 'lazy' or not having enough time to build.

    The only suggestion I really like is the 3rd one. I was thinking about it and I like the idea of a no collide tool but you can only use it on like 3 props so it's not abused.
