Multiplayer - Battle Mode

Sometimes you just want to battle it out with another player and get the days frustrations off your chest, and into the chest of another human.

WHAT

An idea for a multiplayer mode. Select it from the menu, choose a ship from your blue prints, spawn into a smaller scale world. You and your ship spawn into a small instance. The space is relatively small, with a boundary.

Countdown timer begins. Fight it out with others. Test out your built ships. Earn space credits or win the design of your opponents ship.

WHY

1. Build PCU heavy single player worlds while still being able to interact in multiplayer. We spend so much time on single player, would love to combine that with the multiplayer somehow.

2. There could be some great Youtube content off of this idea which would further promote the game!

Other ideas:

1. Single player worlds have a 'warp gate', marked on GPS or you construct it. You enter the battle mode through there. When complete drag your enemies ship back through the gate as conquest. Earn XP or credits etc.

2. PCU limit categories, fight large ships vs fight small ships

3. No welding/grinding allowed. This would limit giant blocks with welders attached. Eww.

4. Different maps: Different asteroid configurations, blank space, planet side...etc.

5. Earn XP or space credits based off the PCU count of the other players ship.

Any thoughts?
