    So, I personally think there a few things that need to be changed with paintball.
    Current Issues:
    -Change the amount of ammo Shotgun gets (Or lower Machine gun).
    The problem with Shotgun right now is that with every shot, it shoots about 2-3 snowballs, and each snowball counts as 1 ammo. Since Shotgun only has 50 ammo, you have anywhere from 16 to 25 shots (unless you get a kill). So, your ammo runs out fairly quickly, making it easier for the enemy to kill you if they have machine gun, because machine gun shoots 1 snowball per shot and has 100 ammo, which isn't truly fair. That's at least quadruple the shots that Shotgun gets, leaving it with an extremely unfair advantage.​
    -Class selector isn't always there.
    Yes, I know this is more of a bug, but I was feeling lazy and didn't want to bother making another thread after this one. Sometimes, on some maps, if a player joins too quickly after the paintball game restarts, there will be no class selectors, leaving many people with a gun they are not comfortable using. Thus, ruining the fun of the game.​
    Possible Additions:
    -Paintball Rankings
    For those of you who have been on Buildcraftia for a long time, you probably recall the first version of paintball we used. This paintball was on the original minigames server, and I would say, it was quite the success, and this was mainly due to the competitive factor of the paintball ranking system. For every kill/win you got on this type of Paintball, you would receive x amount of points, and there was a leader board of the players with the most points. I think if we had something similar to this on our paintball, it would make playing Paintball more fun for the players, due to this increase in competitiveness.​
    -Paintball Power-ups
    Once again talking about the old version of paintball, there were power-ups. I know Leo mentioned it once to me, asking for my opinion on it, but it failed to get implemented. I was thinking that there could be random spawn points around the map where power-ups would spawn every minute or so. If this suggestion is considered, some ideas I have for possible Power-ups are as following:
    -Speed buff for x amount of seconds.
    -Team heal. (Could remove all damage from your teammates)
    -Extra lives. (Gives the team 2 lives back)
    -Grenades. (Would give the player 1 or 2 grenades which would be thrown and would shoot snowballs around where it lands)
    -Shield. (Would prevent the player from being shot for 10 seconds, but the player would have slowness)
    -Sticky bomb. (Idea from @NapkinDabber, you right click on an enemy player and when it blows up it deals 2 hearts of damage to the player and 1 heart of damage in the splash radius)
    -Airstrike. (When activated, it would rain paintballs down on the enemy team, but if the player is under some sort of cover, like in a house, they wouldn't take damage)​
    -Paint color customization
    As of right now, if you get hit with a paintball, the only color is purple. But, if this was added, using in-game currency, you can change the color of what it changes to (cannot be blue or red because it might get confusing).
    Thank you for considering these suggestions, and if you have anything to add, feel free to tell me!

    A nice addition would also be something similar to a paintbrush you can hit people with. So you can, you know, get more ammo by killing more players without dying. But it'll only be close range.

    Splatoon style, eh?

    A paint mine would be coolio too.

    Lava/water buckets could occasionally spawn as "supply drops"
    Ya know, like buckets of paint.
    They could be an ammo refill or somethin
    I'll just keep editing this as I come up with stuff
