Whatchu guys want for a fun server?
« on: April 18, 2005, 09:31:33 am »
I can throw someting up in a few days for fun and time killing while we get a new "real" campaign together.

Beleive it or not, I'm actually open to suggestion  ;D

2 options I'm thinking are . ..

1.  Command Cruiser hell!   2263-2270.   Early era CCs at 50 paces, a Kirk Wannabes's wet dream

2.  X-Ship hell.   Just when you though a DH mod couldn't get any MORE cheesy, ADB publishes some BETA rules for "Partial X Conversions" (XP refits).  This will be fun, fast, furious, and a great way to test some whacky ideas in the only valid test, combat.

I'm open to other suggestiuons AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT REQUIRE A LOT OF WORK.

Command Cruiser hell is a nice idea, tho make it a pvp server and makedrafting 3 or 4 hexes wide, and no running unless you are outnumbered, if you run in an even fight you are classed as destroyed.

I'm not going to use such serious Bloodthirsty rules for a fun server, or serious one for that matter

How about combining all the X ships into a single shiplist, that way either side has access to ships from any race? Kind of an X-mirrior- mirror battle. I think it would be fun do be destroyed as five different races in a single evening.

x-ship hell or Lord Saxon's idea if it doesn't complicate your efforts too much

Interesting, I am also for the X ships.  But the mirrored shiplist is interesting.

I could simply restart this after a few days with new alliances, that's much easier.

I think the one where my side gets X ships and the other guy's side gets the Early CC's
is what I'm looking for about now.

Now lets see, what can be classed as fun

1  killing all the players on the map, I know iantheace would love that

2  who can come up with the best insults? I know we all could do very well in that department, so it wil be hard to have an outcome or some sort of victory, unless we take into account how many players get their butts kicked off the forum and give them the victory.

3   Or we could utilize the basic principals of sfc and the game. A quest for a treasure that will give universal supremacy to the victors. A game of diplomacy, where alliances can be forged on the map during the game, A game of strategy, where making the right decisions leads to the desired result. Where the capture of a neutral planet or base gives clues to better further your quest.  A game where all races are included and the Pirate AI’s are hard to kill.
     Quite simply set up the server so all races are allied except for pirates. Victory      condition ( for the main races) can be the conquest of all the Pirate bases and home world and for the pirates the conquest of one (any one ) of the main race home worlds. The pirates HW can be in the center of the map and the Main race worlds on the borders of the map, evenly spaced from the Pirate HW. Use the line of supply rule only.
Object is easy , stop the pirates from taking a HW before they lose theirs. And defiantly use X ships  8)
 
I think 3 sounds to hard to do, we should take the easy way and stick to option 1 or 2 or mayby options 1 and 2

Please excuse the lack of detail in my idea of fun, it took me 5 mins to come up with it, so I havn’t realy given it much thought, I am sure option 3 could be refined with some thought time. I wil join in on anything that gets decided :)

Choice #3 sounds an awful lot like a game of F&E..... if you are interested, I made a post about making a game such as that a few days back.

No, it's already been used, but only once. I keep it sheathed like a sword so that it doesn't dull the blade unless I absolutely have to use it.  :flame:
