Points from Players

Target Values

Okay - so here's the deal on target values on the equipment:
Chest = 200; Back = 100; Shoulders and laser = 50.

Deactivations aka being “tagged”

Now, in most of our regular games you do not lose points when you are tagged, you just lose time. When you are tagged your pack “goes dark”(meaning its off an out of play) for about 5 seconds. Actually we have found that the players who find the special skills to be tagged less often (that’s right you can really become quite adept at not being tagged) are the players who rise to the level of elite play. These are the players who score 15,000 to 20,000 points in a game.
 

Base Play

Offense: Keeping this simple, the team that gets the most bases wins. Now, think about that for a minute. If a team concentrates on playing as a team (now there's a novel concept for sure) and works to have each team member capture each of its opponents' bases, at 2000 points per base they should win the game. If everyone on the team plays as an individual, it's unlikely that victory is within reach.

Defense: Let's keep this part simple too. If you prevent the other team from capturing your base, then you are lowering their score. Okay, here it comes - you must leave some players in your base to at least slow the other teams' offensive efforts. One catch though: make sure the defense gets some relief and has time to go capture the opponents' bases themselves. For some bizarre reason, players have been known to become mesmerized with base defense and never leave their base the whole game - so watch out for this.

Sentinel Babies

It's pretty easy to become a "Sentinel Baby" and just wait for the Sentinel to become active the whole game. It's so easy in fact, we have even taken the time to give you people a sarcastic name. Very bad plan for newer players - you'll lose the flow of the game, blow off your teammates (a bad popularity move on your part), and probably forget to get your bases, as well. Then you'll wonder why your score is lousy (and why your teammates are glaring at you).

Reloads

We only play “reload” games at special events and in special formats. They are not part of typical public play games. We have two reload stations, one near Red Base and one near Blue Base. The reloads are archways, and they enable you to replenish laser pulses and energies to a full-level without stopping the flow of your game. You can find the reload stations by looking for the blue police car-type rotating beacons on top of them. You simply walk through the arch and you get a full compliment of whatever you were out of - laser pulses or energies.
