Right then, who's got a story and a script? Max time for story is 2 mins 30 seconds.
We want to show off some good ships, guns and places in this time.
We want to show off some great role play.
Consider using an in base scene with voice over to support the story.

Cannon, recommend starting a new thread with exactly that question.
It deserves to be explored.

' Wrote:i meant there are OTHER disco servers that arent full to bursting so were underpopulatedThis is the official DiscoveryGC server. It is full. There is a reason why even with the temporary limited hardware. this server tops the stats for the Freelancer servers. If other servers using the discovery mod is underpopulated, then go to THEIR forums, and peddle your ideas for attracting more people there.
Frankly you don't do your forumname justice. The "erd" part should be changed to "00b". Then it would be fitting better.

with a server full 90% of the time, you are saying that we should drag even more players here?
The current "immigration" flow is already high enough, no need to boost it.

I would like to see an Acient monologue-esque kind of trailer like from Freespace. Or Freespace 1's opening. Dealing, with, say, an Order pilot and the Nomads.
Freespace 1 Opening
All five Ancient monologues
MOCKUP:
< Slow, tragic scene with music like that of the monologues >
Order pilot: We fight a war that cannot be won. When we came here, we were tresspassers. We woke those who were meant to sleep forever. When they woke, they came at us with such fury that we were driven back. Back to our very homeworld. But we would not be subdued. When they turned our brothers on us, we killed them.
< Fight scene of Anubis on Anubis >
Order pilot: But we defeated them <Hypergate scene> and retained our humanity. And so we rebuilt. We expanded further and further. We expelled the horrors. We pushed them back. We now cover all of Sirius. They are a threat to us still. But a manageable threat. It is my duty to keep them back. But I am not the only one in this universe. This is a place full of people and choices.
< Scenes of many different ships. The scene is again mellow >
Different pilot: Plunder, looting, murder, all are my game. I am an Outcast.
Another: Duty, Honor, and Chivalry are what I do best. I am a Bretonian Armed Force.
Number Three: I am a Freelancer. I fly under no banner, I fly for whomever I please.
All four: This is my universe. Come Discover your place in it.

And another thread goes down in flames. Ok, everyone LISTEN IN. Stop flaming this person right now! I don't care if you think his ideas are stupid, say it to yourself and then get out of this thread and go to another where you can all be nice and considerate to each other. Some people might actually like his ideas and want to comment in a NICE manner instead of flooding each of his threads with stupid +1 posts that are just mean and degrading. Most of you complain about lolwuts and people like that in game. As far as I can see judging by the inappropriate flaming of this person you people are therefore complaining about yourselves. GROW UP and show some respect. Guaranteed you wouldn't like it if everyone of your posts were flooded like his. This is not a flame fest, this is a forum COMMUNITY, and right now that community is bagging out one of it's own.
I'm not singling anyone out here as you all need to think about your posts (cannon excluded).

Sounds epic Corsair.
Also, good to see you got your name back:P

Brilliant idea, Corsair.
HOW TO ATTRACT MORE PLAYERS - Corsair - 11-26-2009
Well, it's a start. It needs building on. EG, update the storyline, give more factions, and possibly more action.
HOW TO ATTRACT MORE PLAYERS - Cannon - 11-26-2009
Hey corsair, a great start. Who's next? We need more ideas. When we have enough we can start a detailed storyboard & timeline for the best one or bits of them all.
