You know, if we add Bobboau's trail code into the mix and find a way to "catch" the ball, we could have the funky game they played in Stellvia =O

If we could find a way to catch the ball, you could have the ultimate 'Capture the Flag' this would be fun especially if the 'flag' is in the landing bay of a Lucifer or the like

Missile launchers that TAG a player once they get closer? With a long tag time, the player could essentially be 'flagged' so to speak, till he was destroyed or 'de-tagged' by his team-mates or enemies. Sexps can be used to make sure that the missile launcher doesnt fire another tag till the previous player is destroyed.

too bloody complicated.

just make a round cargo container of convenient size, and two "goals". no limits on weaponry, but when the enemy team scores a goal, everyone on the other side dies.

Well, with the new variable handling Sexp's from the SCP, it should just be possible to keep score and end the game when one team has scored 5 goals, the football game could almost be done in Vanilla FS2, but you'd need some nice animated glow maps on the ball etc for it to look 'right' in my opinion.
The CTF thing would probably require some specific coding, which may or may not be possible, once the SCP guys are a bit less busy bug squashing, I'll put a query in the SCP forum, though I have a feeling this would be pretty tough to do since FS2 wasn't designed to handle this in any way, possibly something like 'instadock' when you are less then 5 metres from the ball or something?
