I know the game keep a score bent around 1v1 combat but i think some 3 way maps would be fun. For example the laser squad, the corporation and the aliens. The 3 player maps could just be marked off as fun maps for people who want to play for fun.
That is a brilliant idea! I can't believe I didn't think of it myself. ;) I think 4 player maps might be even better, Players could form temporary alliances.
It'll take a bit of time to change the code since everything is written assuming there are only two sides, but I'll definitely add this. Any good ideas for 3p or 4p missions are gratefully accepted!

Take some ideas from the old space crusade comp and board games...they had 3 and 4 player options.
You could make them larger maps with NPC defenders and the teams racing to capture a flag for the victory conditions.
Thanks for the ideas. It'll take me a while to change the code to allow for 3-player games, but watch this space.

It's fun looking at old threads and seeing what features have now been added. 3-player and 4-player missions have now been in Stellar Forces for years. :)
