That seems like an awful lot of work for something we could just add in the regular version. The more established factions get their own base, while newer ones have to last at least a version before they get a specific base.
Just think of the problems we get with our current single server (Not for lack of trying to remove them, mind you). Now try running several different servers on the same box. Painful thought, no?

Kane: It's not alot of work... The "Server Content" would be made by patrons of the server with little to no help from Igiss. and would prevent Igiss from having to add all the content himself.
Angel: This techicaly wouldn't be making "seperate" versions of disco for public and private... It's like activating Discovery then activating a second mod that adds content.. for example a ship pack from lancers reactor...
The "version" number thing would just be there to be informative *and* prevent people without the proper content packs installed from joining.
Me and Igiss were discussing this, he said he didn't really mind but he did bring up some points...
Quote:Igiss: Next, what about other servers
Igiss: how are they going to survive with Discovery faction logos, let alone our own factions are appearing and disappearing much more frequently than new mod version appears.
It's all done in custom systems, as to avoid other servers from seeing the guild motherships etc.
I think that's what you guys were asking?
Also he was saying that it would be hard and you can put only 3 ships at a base. So a guild would have to choose what three they wanted.

For instance. I purchase a "Black Squadron" version of my ship the Aldebaran.. or a Viper with the black squadron logo and colors and whatnot but it would perform the exact same as the same ship.
This would prevent people from adding little "subtletys" to their modded ships that could potentialy give them an unfair advantage.

The ships would be pre-screen by Igiss as to not let this happen so people could just do custom stats on their ships and so forth.
Quote:Igiss: what's a mothership?
Vicious101: It's just a base that they can use whatever ship / base file
Igiss: they can't use any ship file
Vicious101: I couldn't think of a better then then MS so I just used it
Igiss: never posted that, but bases have much more complicated hardpoint setup than ships
Igiss: base can be turned into ship, but not vice versa
being the oly problem with a custom base is that you have to code 100% new hard points. But these systems bases could be joint projects with other players in the game.

Ny other point I forgot to mention was that people could hire other players for help. Paying them with ingame credits, or people volentering. This would also help in an RP aspect too.
As for non exsistant guilds making these systems and later going poof. I doubt people will leave after putting forth the effort. And we could just turn what they left into a Nomad faction of NPCs.*

You know that would be some good RP.. faction gets whiped out by the nomads so their system ect is infested... fun!
Yes, someone also whats a to get people to hire others, that idea is the missing factor. All ideas sound great, i can just imagine a fleet of black vipers or something going into battle. oooooo

Actually I would like to start working on an AW system and mothership. If anyone would like to start helping please let me know. Right nau I am gathering resourse files from my HDD's I have about 2 TB of data to sift in. I know I have some stock files (think I do...) somewhere. I remeber a friend and I were going to make a mod so I downloaded a ton of stuff... But forgot where I placed those files.
My contacts are in my profile, I never log out unless I lose interwebs and I seldom put up an away, if I do I forget to take it down. So drop a line but don't expect a reply right away. I am not always at my laptop.*
