How does your head fit through a door?

Stop hijacking the thread. We all know I go around/under/over the door. This is about two concerns I have. One is that such limited ship selection may adversely affect the serverkit AI choices introducing errors into the DB and the other is server longevity. Have you actually asked yourself how you will feel flying the same several ships for 3 weeks with no tech progression and no variety? If you thought the missions on AOTK2 were bad, wait till you get a load of how formulaic the missions will be with such limited setup mission after mission for 3 weeks. I think it deserves some consideration.

Honestly, Lepton, you are a liberal thinker, surely you agree getting issues like this out in front way ahead of game time is fair play.

Darn server maintenance...It saved you all from my ranting and raving and questions....
short version...
will we see a small amount of ships from bordering powers taking advantage of the situation?
Will we see klingon impperial units?(maulers, carriers, etc?)
Will houses have access to units that carry very limited fighter amounts (not true carriers so to speak?)
Do you have enough variation in the shiplist for it to be interesting?(really this is just dizzy's question again)

[Hexx]

1) No
2)Yes 3) No
4)Of course the US government doesn't know anything about secret prisons
5)Since- if you're feeling bored- Dizzy can always chase you around using
a stock D6 /D7, or flying 3xPF's I think so.
If you're looking for an ever increasing number of super ships
-ie if you want to fly a Lyran BCH today,Fed CVAR tomoorow, then a BB
then maybe a Gorn BCS
You're going to be bored.


There will be far more ships left in the list then taken out
(well maybe not "far" but 'some, possibly" )
and all the ships will be available in all their Glory for the AI.

No boredom for me lots of close brutal up close matches, its a refreshing change in my book.  Having little diversity will be diversity, a step away from the uber fests 

[KBF-maQmIgh]

I'm the best pvp player left in this community. Last server proved it. Dont mistake it, few kills were even scored in my BB. Most kills saw me in a smaller ship spanking someone bigger. I expect more of the same. I just have to watch out for bear.

Dizzy, I might have to make you eat those words. True I have not played for a long time but in my day I am reasonably sure I could kick your butt, I could stand up to SFCShadow and did stand up to many of the best players this game ever saw. I did not win every battle but I won enough to know I can hold my own against ANYONE.  So you go ahead and enjoy your ego trip for now while I practice a bit more and knock the rust off.

Then you and I will have a little dance, I am leaving my dance card empty just for you....

As a casual player, I have different concerns.  I don't plan to be on the server for massive amounts of time.  I get bored. I leave and come back some other day.  It's no fault of the server design as far as I am concerned whether I become bored or not.  The very idea of this server is for a restricted time period, restricted tech, restricted ship server.  It's certainly Hex's right to put up such a server if he wishes.  If he builds it, they will come or not.  As I say, he is under no obligation to entertain you.

As I also said, I am sure Hex is more than willing to accept technical advise or assistance.  However, I find the way that you couch your assistance/criticism to be indicative of your general sense of self-importance.  Be that as it may, if you feel slighted, you have my apologies.  Perhaps I am too quick to find fault without cause. 

Please continue with fleshing out the server issues and offering any assistance you can but let's not stray too far from Hex's original conception if it is technically feasible.  He certainly has a right to see his server realized in the manner that he imagined it.

sounds cool

Will there be a bounty on Dizzy? 

One thing Id second... It would suck to have a house lose its one c7 to a game bug... If that remains the law, then lets hope the debugger works its magik, and it wont be an issue.

[Hexx]

I'm thinking of putting bounties in, just haven't decided on format.

Won't be anything special on Dizzy, I'd hate to see the first house that fought him get a leg up on everyone else.

The C7 rules are there because
- It prevents it from turning into a BCH fest
- It keeps "new"players from erroneously purchasing C7's
-It should keep C7 usage to a relative minimum,
- It will keep me from having to wade through accounts of
"I lost connection at the last minute"
"I didn't know we had lag until .."
" DH alted out when he was going to get killed by my F5"

If both players in hte mission agree something screwy happened I'll assume one can simply alt out
and save the ship, if you're in a solo mission and something happens I'll asssume you'll alt out quickly and I'll
never hear about it.

Really I'm just lazy and don't want to have to monitor & try and fix replacements.

The C7's will likely be in accounts created by me (or Wanderer if i can make him) one for each house plus the
extra. The House leader will have the option to sign in using the C7 account or to run their "normal" account.

I like this compromise.

If a user has ttrouble, I also assume he can alt out as long as he has his recorder going and can prove the bug beyond an allegation, and/or that the others ackowleged the bug.

Would be 100% better if both parties agree and alt out.

Lets just hope that the ones fighting the unfortunate C7 are nice enough to ackownlege a bug and let them alt out.

What if the house leader wants the C7 to be their normal account and just have another smaller ship on a secondary one?  Can that be worked in or no?

the guy riding the scooter in that pick must have no problem getting laid. I wonder if it could smoke my RC51

[Strat]

Hex,

You say 1 or 3 year server.

What year? I'm thinking about fast drones.

If 3 year, if we get fast drones, at what year of the 3 will we get them?

If one year, will we get them at all?

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

Do we even want them?

[Braxton_RIP]

Do we even want them?

To keep it short... no 

[Strat]

Well, just want to know ahead of time is all. 

Don't care either way, just want to know.

[Green]

sounds cool

I don't know if the above is intentional or not ... but it is damn funny.

I prefer medium drones. They should be a weapon, but not the defining one. Phasers and dizzy's should be the real test.
