promotes boosting and ruins the community that already does that activity for fun and competition.

Thats a very true point. Maybe spar rewards could stay if they set up a script to detect the boosting or whatever.  

I like the Shangri La map, maybe just remodel it (tileset).

In my opinion, the Shangri-La layout is one of the worst things about Zone. There's only one building type, and it feels very constricted. It's a very linear world, so it leaves no room for exploration. The 360° shooting doesn't work that well because it's so cluttered with random NPCs and the surrounding walls. And the vehicles we have are almost useless -- I can't even use the bikes to travel because I always get stopped by those sideways escalators -- same for the jetpack now.  

Some useful planets

Some useful planets

This. I believe the best direction to head would be to focus more on planet-based additions to the game.

And I don't mean adding a planet like the Nature Shop.

Of course, nature shop was actually a bad idea.  

What is a nature shop

What is a nature shop

It was a shop that was filled with nature-themed, player submitted items from like 2013. It was on the overworld, and then it was made into its own planet like Iricia or Choros, but with still the same level just transferred into a GMAP before it was removed.  

When i think of a nature shop i think of exotic plants or other things that enhance other planets of some sorts, or nice flowers you can buy for your loved ones  

Boisssss. Booooooiiiiis! Skybase.  

what shmegg & alex said.

not what SKT said.

That could come with its own set of complications. You're asking a system to decide wether the player is boosting and then auto-jail or auto-kick right? Then it would presumably still trigger the script if one of the players is AFK or lagging when the spar started (which happens relatively frequently). What I would suggest doing is to simply create a script that would auto-report the player when they're *believed* to be boosting, and then leave it to the discretion of the ZP team to handle it from there.

Yeah - there's a lot of room for improvement on that side of the spectrum.

Good point here, I wasn't really talking in terms of the auotobn auto jail systems but I do see your complications. The notification thing is better .

Our current tileset blows

Hence why jet packs need to be brought back. Nobody liked the other forms of transportation so why keep it? Skate ramps were used for a day then nobody touched then again
