Oh Yes! :lol:

I really like this idea. The player interface will need some work but I think it may be doable in the not-too-distant future.

Some kind of mouse controlld steering system could work.

Simply hold the mouse where you want to face and the robot will face that way. press the up arrow and it will accelerate in that direction. If the mouse is further away then it will go faster (accelerate harder). Bring the mouse nice and close to sneak around quietly.
Click left mouse button to shoot -1 and right to shoot -6.

Other gene functions can be customized and set to the Function keys.

Light:
would you imagine this to be real time say 1 cycle a second or turn based?

PurpleYouko:
Oh real time definitely

We also need a simple nice head up display for our energy and stuff like that...

Numsgil:
Another movement system that is hard for people who aren't used to it but which I got really good at is this:

up/dn: accelerate/brake
left/right: turn left /right

That's how starport GE (a very addictive free MMO game that restarts every 2 weeks, well worth a look for anyone who has nothing to do for the next month ) does it.

I think we'd have to have a full set of customizable controls, like most FPS have.  That way everyone can configure it to their preference.

Some people prefer the wasd (the w,a,s,d keys for up,dn,lft, right)  system of movement, others the arrow keys.

It would be alot of fun to see if you can make a bot that could beat a human in real time combat.

And a good HUD would be essential.
