Why not go the other way and decrease the actions per minute so you learn the overall point of the game , And with each game the actions per minute increases.
- the players sit at home(yeah latency issues) or at the venue
- order the standard drone-by-the-minute service(future service, copyright no-one-yet)
- drone goes to the venue spot
- shoot other drones...(no AI cheating!)
- best of 5 matches
Or instead of laser, user physical objects, and they need to reload them at a station with real people that can shoot down the drones to, so they can defend the loading station! that would be cool. "Real" warfare in a play setting.
mix it up with the Father.io thing/normal laser tag. so the drones will be tactical vehicles that will feed info. and the players can shoot them down. to gain information advantages.
Or just make the drones bomber planes, that can bomb the players. you know-normal military drones...
But if you have all that, why not do it virtually and with realistic graphics somewhere that does not look like anything on earth...
