Topic: Server IDEA: Four-Powers war Part Deux (Read 2374 times)

FPF-DieHard · « **on:** November 29, 2006, 09:26:19 am »

Now that I FINALLY have my new PC built, time to get back to work!!

What if the Organians never disappered and the Federation never entered the General war? The GW started as a war between the Klingons and Lyrans versus the Hyrdans and the Kzinti. The Klingons invaded Federation Space when the Organians disappeared. The Feds and Plasma races would have stayed out as the war would have stayed local to the western powers.

Here's what I'm thinking:

Alliance: Hydran, Kzinti
Coalition: Klingon, Lyran

Neutrals: Wyn, LDR (AI only, not human-playable) Dave, can you set you missions to use some heinous terrain in thw Wyn Cluster?

3-4 Week server, 2268 Start

ED's new missions

(EEK and TG can feel free to contribute as well)

SGOish shiplist similar to SGO6. Rules similar to SGO6 with modifications open to discussion by the RMs (not the peanut gallery).

OOB: To be determined by the RMs
Fleeting rules: To be determined by me (with input from the RMs)

Sound good? I need 4 RM volunteers

Actually the Klingons entered Federation space after teh federation started to arm themselves for a massive (and unprovoked) invasion of the Klingon Empire.
Read your history better. It's there.

Sounds fun.
Assuming I have some kinda job when this actually goes live I can RM of course if you can't find 4.
Maybe the Hydrans..

Sounds cool by me! A run over the holidays perchance?

Sure - pick a nebula subtype (1-6) and I'll add a map for it. How's this sound: a nebula map, with an ion storm barrier stretched across it, and a liberal sprinkling of dust clouds throughout, with a chance of a sun...

I know I'm sounding repetitive, but we really need to get them up on a test server somewhere for awhile - there are almost guaranteed to be some multiplayer bugs, and a 2-3 day test server right before the big show won't leave much elbow room for fixing them.

Sounds cool though!

Dave, are you ready enough for a test server? The missions keep changing every couple of days.

I can throw one up tonight.

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #4 on:** November 29, 2006, 12:11:44 pm »

This'd be a good time for it. I'm happy to put a freeze on features until we've seen the pack in a live server - just work on bug reports/fixes from now til then, any new ideas can go into a version 2 that I'll start sometime in Jan/Feb.

thanks DH!

"3-4 Week server, 2268 Start"

Make it 3 weeks please. It's hard enough to keep a steady presence for 3 weeks, never mind 4, for many.

DH said it is a "what if" scenario.

Ack. Maybe you should RM the Lyrans. You're an outstading Lyran player, possibly best in the game's history

. Wouldn't want you letting your doggies down now would you?

That's what was behind my thought.. it's hard enough for anyone to defeat me when I fly Lyran, probably would be more enjoyable for the great unwashed if I run the Hydrans.
After all,I can hardly do worse than t00l did last time..

Sounds interesting.

Questions, what is a WYN? what is a LDR? (I've been gone too long).

With all the new missions available I could have fun just staying out of the front line and play vs the AI. Not to mention actually finishing SFC2 single player and OP single player which I never did.

Wyn are a kinda pirate race located at the nexus (oooh fancy) of Klingon/Kzin/and Lyran space.
LDR are an attempt to balance Lyran ships against the monstrosities the Hydrans pass off as "balanced" ships.

LDR- Lyran Democratic Republic. They'll be colorful AI allied to none

Yeah, kinda based on the SFBish SGO mod.

Sure you can Hexx. Stop underestimating your lack of abilities.

Well, it might be time to get this old Klingon turn Fed to get his old D7C out of mothballs. Gee I haven't flown a Klingon ship since before ArticFires server.

But I do remember how to saberdance

Since I was very good at beating this tactic (Starcastling)
