Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

What do you guys think of the following idea  :wow:

A new wars server. But different. No planets. No replication tech. A galaxy half the size of the original. Intense new-round pvp and a race for first, and an attempt to keep it.

I think it would be a great idea, newbies can try for first instead of like current, and oldies can keep their other WARS server. I'm sure some of you wouldn't like to planets or rep, but got to admit, It'd be interesting.

Of course, I request that Emi pm on forums before he starts the server, so I can tell him the username/password I want for a number under (#10) if it happens   :P I'm not kidding either :P

And as for bandwidth or whatnot or however you call it, make the max players like 1,000 and if an account is inactive for a certain amount of time, delete it to make room for others.

It would be a very long time to max, but thats the fun  :wow:

What do you think?

Whats this? Even Emi's on and no replies?

:Rate--comment:

Would be cool :) except for the no planets :( and it would have to have it after awhile so that when you join you got the average amount of cp, turns, and creds spent so far by everyone otherwise it will just die of like the current wars server is doing.

I like the second part, but the no planets, I'm sticking by it. It just unbalances it..This way also, you kill their ships their eco is gone, not you kill their ships their eco is hiding. Also, makes maxing a little slower.

Actually you make more from your SAB than a planet.
Also it would definitely have to have the average on CP, Turns and Credits spent.
Btw if you need room on your server Emi I don't think many people would miss PVE  :))

Just cut the inactives off, better yet, only leave the top 30 and make it a closed server  :))

Oh one other thing.
Tinies need to be dealt with somehow.
I would think you could add something simple like:
if component cost>hull cost (swarm bonus = minimized) else (swarm bonus = unchanged)
I think that would take down there effectiveness quite a bit.

Or component can't cost more than hull or won't fit?

Yeah something like that should do it.
I think it would even make it a bit easier for new player to design then cause they wouldn't be able to make quite as bad of ships lol.

LOL. So, anybody think Emi will go for it? BTW +rep to jan and qualo, and they get a number between 10-20  :wow:

Idk if he will, but we definitely need to get as many active Wars people on here as possible.

Yeah, bet they'd go for it. If enough people chime in, it might happen.  :wow:

I also want to add some of you Main guys feel free to post on this too.
Tell us what you would want to see added to make you play it too.

That sounds good actually. Emi suggested something similar last month. Be interesting to see if it is implemented.

And tony gets a number between 10-20  :P

No no truth. I want id #1 :D

Only E gets that :P I get #2, so you get to be TNTTony(#0003)  0o

good idea overall. i still think one of the other ideas for a deathmatch type server or something like that would be even cooler. or the one where there are only 2 allainces and you fight for your side

Maybe emi could implement multiple servers?

Yeah I would definitely like to see the 2 alliance idea implemented first. That one sounds cool!
But this idea sounds good, especially the average thing. You would have to make sure that it is practically impossible to trade resources though, or else you risk people making alts to feed themselves. No planets sounds good too  :) Maybe...eliminate cloak on stations, increase station stats, decrease research reqs? That would make it hard to kill stations, although not impossible, so the galaxy doesn't get clogged up like it did this round. Just my .02

i like the idea of a 2 alliance death match :D

I Haven't played on the wars server, but this sounds interesting.

Particularly like the 2 alliances approach but think you would have to be automatically assigned to an alliance when you register. Otherwise Truth wouldn't have anyone to talk to.

I'm all for anything that strengthens the alliance strategy elements of the game on any server.

Any chance I could have 007?

only if i get 004 :D

Just for you spayed  :P

Kell gets 1000 for that remark  :P

Also, why not have both servers? Jess's alliance/deathmatch one would most likely cause some donating, and it should be more than enough to run both servers. Could even make you have to buy a seperate gold account or something, I dunno, but I'd like to see my server up  :wow:

We know you love your post count, but please don't double post [-Ed]

would love to have both servers but emi doesn't have enough time to do them both. at least not in the near future

I'd like emi's speculations. My idea should be easy to start up and maintain, not too time requestive for him perhaps

I think both server ideas would be good, I would like to join in :D though I'm fairly horrible at fighting though I can hide and run fairly well L:)

Anyways it would be fun as that would allow those active in the wars server to join together (without the inactives) to fight and play... Plus the two alliance server would be awesome as well as it would make Team work mean something very important...

don't mean to be nasty to truth but i have to say i like jess's idea better. allthough 2 alliances aren't gonna make it. have it so that there are many alliances but each and everyone one of them have to be at declared war against another alliance. if the opponent alliance becomes inactive, the war is over and u have 24hrs to find another opponent also make it so u can have combined attacks. right now on the wars server, no one can take POF alone but if there was an option like combined attacks, even carl will have a hard time.

Didn't I tell you to stop posting  :P But seriously, 2 alliances is a better idea the multiple. Then you have massive battles :wow:

Sounds like a good idea. Even IF I didn't play for over a year.
Shotgun on #13 if it ever happens.

think about it. if u have 2 alliances u r limiting the amount of people who can play. also u r limiting the amount of people who will play because well if there is someone u don't like in bnoth of the alliances that will just make u want to mess up their lives as much as possible which will mean that a lot of people will get affected by the constant fighting between alliance members and that will just ruin the game. btw this is only one reason i m sure if i start thinking about it properly, i can think of atleast 5 more

Just want to put an end to the number calling--numbers for WARS were on a first come, first serve basis...I doubt that will change, so you can stop laying 'dibs' on numbers.

Yes but its a people's idea, Emi HAS to give us the #  :P

BTW, hyperion, love your 'Even IF I didn't play for over a year.' in small text  :P

guys if you look at the original idea, the alliances could hold unlimited amount of people. so it could be 100 Vs 100 not just 20 v 20.

i m still suing u :P

yeah but still there are a lot of probs that can still come with having just 2 alliances in a server

I'd say maybe double the number of alliances or factions to 4 or even 6. Having just 2 could be restrictive. Could call it the Deathmatch Server.
And since Emi gets 001 ID, can I have 000? :21:

all of u shut up or ill give u a number... a triage number... for the record, 000 = already dead. 001 = likely to die

meh i wanna be 4204 :D  :19: :P  :12: :12: :12: :12:

hehe thats taken :P

Well what about having three faction/alliances. Reason for that is combat with three it will always be worry of Side B or C is allied to fight Side A or if Side A/C fighting B and all the different choices... Of course there could be more but I think the min. should be three plus there is always those who want to be loners and they could be "neutral's"/unaligned/unfactioned players who are directly support any side and thus fighting everyone... It would make the server not only like a deathmatch but also make Role Playing a part of it...

Sorry if the idea isn't good or supports this topic as I really do wish to see a new wars server on Spaceo...

i liked the 2 alliance idea better then more then 2, 2 alliances means there is only 1 person 2 fight :D

I hope you aren't referring to this or you will loose your number Spayed.  :))

But I have to say I like to 2 alliance option, no choice as to what alliance you are in, its assigned automatically on registration that way the size of the factions should be similar. Leaders are by vote and there should be some territorial aspect to the game. Even if nothing more than the galaxy map (if there is one) showing systems controlled by each alliance.

yea territorys sounds like a great idea, and maybe every 1 in the alliance makes money depending on how many territorys their alliance has?

sir emi. Im putting this out there for everyone to see. If you decide to do this, or another new server option, I can help with ideas, a bit of programming, advertising, and maybe even funding.

At this point though, theres no reason to even play. After I max ill just sit back on wars and check the forums vehemently. At some point ill end up throwing in the towel. Anyways, youve got a lot of enthusiastic players here with lots of ideas, take a look plz.

Jess

It won't work. He's read it every day, and doesn't care. It just won't happen. If it does I'll help with ANYTHING to get it done, but it just won't happen.

such a positive outlook ay truth :D, ill play if there is a new server like the above...

if there is no new erver then the current wars server should be completely reset..

naw. no reset. just maxed players reset. and bonuses adjusted so a repeat doesn't happen

haha well somethings got 2 reset :D

gimme the ultimate kami design and the 9 quint and i'll see wat i can do :D ;)

you wouldnt have any effect, they would have 9 quint in cash anyway...

u have to ruin my moment of glory don't u :P

but comeon they'll do something :D :)

haha sorry :D

hehe well unless ya had max cash ya dont stand much chacne :D
