Get Elk to make a tileset..Players vote Elk vs Paid Gfx tileset. Who knows might actually get more done and finish before the paid dude..also according to high staff his ts doesn't look like it will be used anyway.
Also i'm kinda confused here you said monthsandmonthsago that there is LOTS of big and different updates you're already working on(yet to be seen) and now you suddenly need ideas again, thought you already had that with the stuff you're doing now.
Ideas/how to improve anyway:
-Making more of a meaning for the levels(i.e they can venture to diff planet with jobs etc-coulduse likechorus ts for now.) maybe have some power tactical weapons i.e The Force..that was in first ever zone vote when got released but yet to be ingame part from when tash showed it off.
-Personally would like the little space paths that go for years removed and have more a block square type map with main stuff near center.
-4sky bases again eachside of map(give portion of time each min)
--Sort hydra and normal shield to block all bullets(no point a % as you die after like secondhit)+diagonally shootingthem kills them ez hence why noone uses.they aren't fixed.
-SHOWDOWN-you already know-me wait
-Overall I think getting the ts done and fixing and evening stuff out should be done then start throwing these updates we've been waiting for.
