Mirror 2
« on: April 14, 2005, 08:42:02 am »
So from what I have read Mirror 2 is the next server?


It will be UFP (Feds) vs Terrrin (does that mean Fed vs FED??)

Two sides only?
When is the anticipated start date?

ShadowLord


Any other information you can give me on this one, would be appreciated..

Mirror2 will be a server
I have no idea if it's the next one or not... unfotunately
Captain Jeff, overlord of all servers that he is has seen fit to
calim that Mirror2 isn't worthy of being the anniversery server
Only one done by himself or DH could possibly be.
I really think he hurt my feelings there.

People ask why Anakin becomes Darth Vader, really it's not shown in the movie but
it's cuz he's told hi servers not good enough.. you guys really don't want to meet Darth Hexx.

Fortubately Jeff has agreed to include the Lyran BCV and ZY fighters in Storm Season
as his way of apologizing


Anyways you could do a search for it (just search for Greens post containing the word "spam"
He posted it every time I asked something)

Or you could keep reading.

The basic outline for the Mirror Mirror server


2275- 2282
While the server years are extremely open to addition/change
I'm planning on running most (if not all) the Civ servers is later years.
This gives everyone access to all the toys, as well as makes it a bit easier
on new players to a race as the later ships are considerably more forgiving than earler.

- OOB
One DN is allowed on per side.
One (maybe 2) BCV's will be allowed
A few BCG's may be out early.
BCH's will be generally available

X tech may be available (as per GW5 X's) in exteremely limited
numbers. In order to get one you will have to meet certain hidden VC
conditions.
DD squadrons will likely be available.
-Anything with more than 4 droneracks and escorts are out.
-There will likely be 1CVD issued per side. No more may be built
(they'll be Rd out after the first day so they shouldn't show as AI either)
Yes this means if a player sells it, it's gone.
One or two small carriers will be in The plethora of Fed fighter carrying ships won't be.



VC's

VC's will be absed on
1) Placement of bases on you side/other side of the "rift"
2) PVP

PVP VC's will be awarded as follows.
You are worth 1VP for every player you kill.
Anytime you are killed the cycle resets (the kills are not counted until server end)
Therefore until you kill at least one player you can die as many times
as you like and not cost your side anything.
-Any kill made while flying your sides DN do not count
(but there is the disengagement rule)
- A player flying a group of ships (DD squadron) will have their "worth"
divided up amongst all the ships. Points will be divided as evenly as possible with any extra on the Leader.
EX- Chuut kills 9 players using a DD group
. He is caught and loses one of his ships, He is now worth 6 pts


**** I am still trying to get the PVP VP's so they can't be abused.
I want them based on the players, not the ships as I think it will let pwople fly different ships than they normally do.


Map
The map will have a 4(ish) wide row of hexes that will be nebula
(I was going to ask Karnak to do mission with Suns/ Storms/ Black Holes but he retired first  )
This is the rift torn in space between the two universes. to keep it opne/close the rift it will be necessary to set up bases o your side/ the other side of it. (Bases will obviously be destructable)
The majority of the rift will (if the map allows it) also contain asteroid hexes. These haexes (and therefore hte majority of "neutral" territory will only be accessable for CL and smaller hulls.
Anything bigger will have to use easlily monitored routes.

Might I suggest that to add "flavour" to each side allow a limited number of allied races ships into each list?  One side gets a few Gorn and Mirak the other a few Klingon and Romulan.  If done as I envision it they would be only stock frigates to heavy cruisers, no variants not even Command vessels.   

The only variants of the allied races ships that I would allow would be the K-D7T and K- E3Y and those only because using Federation Photon technology they fit in.

Every ship available to fly on Mirror2 will be Federation.
Allied race slots (that I believe the map needs to work) will also
be filled with Fed ships.
This will be the same for most of the Civ War series
Only Klinks on KCW, Only Lyran (and LDR) on LCW.
