Galactic Horizon Laser-Tag

A mock combat/milsim game involving players dressed in specialty suits and using specialty weapons who engage in a mock battle with a specific mode with its own rules.

About the Game

Laser tag traditionally involves 2 or more teams fighting with a single objective in mind which changes depending on the pre-determined game mode. In each game there some constant rules which carry through each of them and must always be adhered to while some modes have special rules pertaining to its objective.

Standard Rules

  • Players may not leave the designated match-zone or the suit and guns will deactivate eliminating them
  • Melee combat is prohibited during every match regardless of mode unless using a supplied IR “blade”
  • Players may make use of all agility manoeuvres such as running, jumping, climbing and going prone however flight is prohibited unless previously agreed on by all players.
  • Orders given by Dawn pertaining to emergency procedure in such an event must be followed regardless of personal opinion, this is to ensure player safety.

Optional Systems

  • The host may decide if revival and healing systems are enabled, if active players can be healed by a teammate if the teammate keeps both hands on the player for double the amount of missing spikes in seconds eg: 2 spikes of damage = 4 seconds needed to heal. Revival requires 25 seconds.
  • The host may decide if HUD’s are active along with friendly fire

Damage System

Charts to display how much strength each weapon and armour piece has in terms of IR beams. Beams decay in strength over distance while armour pieces decay per strength hitting them, the strength of a hit to the suit translates into how many “Spikes” of damage are received.

Weapons

Each weapon is programmed to output a certain “strength” depending on the distance of its target which is instantly processed and tracked by the suits to count the total “spikes” left on the player and how much damage a shot is worth. ngth each weapon and armour piece has in terms of IR beams. Beams decay in strength over distance while armour pieces decay per strength hitting them, the strength of a hit to the suit translates into how many “Spikes” of damage are received.

Weapon Damage <10m 10-30m >30m
Starburst IR Assault Rifle 1.5x strength 1x strength 0.5 strength
Supanova IR Shotgun 1.5x strength1) 1x strength2) 0x strength3)
Singularity IR Sniper Rifle 1x strength 1.5x strength 2.5x strength
Solar-Flare IR Sidearm 1x strength 0.5x strength 0x strength
Event Horizon IR Minigun 1.5x strength 1x strength 0.5x strength

Armour

1 Strength of impact = 2 Spikes of suit damage

Armour pieces come standard for each game mode unless specific rules eliminate the use of armour, each piece has a total strength it can resist before “shattering” and becoming useless.

Armour Defence Total Strength Points 1x strength 1.5x strength 2x strength 2.5x strength
Chest Rig with “plates” 3 3 hits to destroy with 0 spikes 2 hits to destroy with 0 spikes 2 hits to destroy with 2 spike 2 hits to destroy with 4 spikes
Chest Rig without “plates” 2 2 hits to destroy with 0 spikes 2 hits to destroy with 1 spike 1 hit to destroy with 0 spikes 1 hit to destroy with 1 spike
Shin & Knee pads 1.5 2 hits to destroy with 1 spike 1 hit to destroy with 0 spikes 1 hit to destroy with 1 spike 1 hit to destroy with 2 spikes

Gauntlets and Shoulder pads 1 1 hit to destroy with 0 spikes 1 hit to destroy with 1 spike 1 hit to destroy with 2 spikes 1 hit to destroy with 3 spikes

Health Points

Health points are measured in “Spikes”, all parts of an unarmoured suit will sustain the same amount of spikes if shot by the same strength. Each segment of the suit has an individual spike rating and once exceeded that limb or segment will be unusable unless healed if applicable.

While an arm is listed at 2 spikes this does not mean both arms and the same damage must be done to the other arm to also disable it. When the suit hits its total threshold it will go into KIA mode and you must return to respawn or be revived if applicable. A headshot is instant death with no revive available.

Suit Segments Head Arm Leg Torso
Segment health 1 spike 2 spikes 3 spikes 4 spikes
Total Health 10 spikes
