Basiclly my idea is for adding more to the whole GvG aspect (Guild vs Guild) of the game. As we all know we run around farming credits for days upon end and get our ships and guns are the like. Then we dock them and wait for a GvG battle. And then we GvG and see who is the better guild etc etc. Great fun and all by why not add a little more?
What I propose is extensive, I know. I'm also trying to work way around that and it's just an idea so don't flame it. This is an open idea and any suggestions would be welcomed.
The basics are a guild will get a mothership, which is just a base that they make themself. It will sell a few ships (One of each class?) that are custom made for the clan. Which they would have to do the work. In reality each guilds ships are all the same just a diffrent look and of course the guild logo on it. This way people can have their own ships and custom looks, but they have to do the work themself and Igiss will /approve of it then implament it into the game.
The mothership is done 100% by the guild, they can make their own model or use a game one, or whatever. Same with the ships each guild will get the same ones and states, unless of course you can give out balanced ships that are diffrent from each other.
Everyone gets the same stuff but skinned how they want. Big deal right, why goto all the effort? Well I'm sure we can come up with custom items that are now so insanly over powerd but are guild specific.
And the fact the the guild has to make it that would put it so not everyone will have one right away. And will reduce work on Igiss. There were a few other ideas but the don't come to mind...*

Hehe, I see a black Sabre with the GoR Coat of Arms coming in from somewhere, docking with the Outcast Dreadnought waiting on the edge of a green nebula...
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
Mothership should be 100% custom love the idea. As for fighters and cap ships and whatnot I think we should use ships that are already in the game but make it so you can buy varients with different skins.
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.
All in all I love the idea. Especially since I want to design and fill Omega 471 (Next to minor) with stuff and make it look cool. Would be cool to make it the Black Squadron "home" system with a mothership. hehe.
A few things everyone has to remember is that Disco is a Public Mod, so placing permanent bases that are specific to this server might have problems.
I'm sure joe smith thats hosting Disco, doesn't want bases that Belong to clans on his server, when those clans don't play on his. If there are going to be bases they have to Fit the Disco enviornment.
But yeah, a Black saber with the GoR logo on the wings would be awsome.
As for modding, I'm always for hire to build systems, I Built several for the Current Discovery, and I'm also working on more at the Current Time.

That's easily avoidable. All that would have to be done is the "Addons" would be made into a "seperate" mod.. for example you have mod manager...
Two mods are listed:
Discovery 4.81 Final
Discovery Official Server Content (Contains ships, and system edits specific to discovery server)
Would be two mods so each server can make their own "content" mod which would be downloaded seperate from the Discovery mod.
Though I suggest the Content mod would change the "version" of the game so people can't join without the content mod specific to the server they are playing on. :)
