What I want in an RPG mod

Wed Oct 15, 2003 5:17 pm by Captain Tylor

I've been to countless servers, and only a few actually do more than give you extra starting creds. I'd like to see more servers actually allow the player to be someone else. I get tired of starting as liberty navy. How about liberty rogue? that might be more fun, and it'll change the way I start my character out. Or perhaps bountyhunter. no system is safe for them since all criminals hate bountyhunters, even the ones in Kusari.

These are just some ideas. Feel free to add anything else here that can be modded in.

Perhaps this would be better off in a Multiplayer forum or something. By the way, there is at least one server who changes starting locations, factions friendlyness and also money/ship fairly often, maybe you should check it out - i don't know the name, but then again - would be too easy if you didn't have to do some looking first

The ideas are nice, but several things i think.

1) They will have to turn off server to change locations etc etc for starting.
2) You will need an admin who will actually do things to start the game off differently - preferably with some modding knowledge.
3) People still have to find the server, and although it sounds good - newbs would be confused that they are starting in Bretonia with Lib Navy hating their ass.

Easiest would be for the server rules to say that on monday you will be liberty - hated by pirates, Rheinland and kusari,
Tuesday - Bretonian - but hated by Liberty and pirates and so on
Wednesday - Kusair - hated by Liberty and Rheinland
-*-
Friday - you are Outcast - starting in Magellan - hated by guess whom....ie - you only have 3 friends! - start in Dagger
Sat - Corsair - hated by...........erm........everyone - start cambridge in a Legionarre

But - like i said - it takes time and effort for an admin to do that, and what does he get in return? After all - he has to pay to run the server for starters - why all the extra effort? Also - I think it wouldn't prove that popular really - i mean - there will be more poeple who want to make their decision on what to do, and the challenge of a different start is usually overshadowed by the fact that everyone just wants a few mil immediately as they don't want to have to start again and play the game.

Dam that was a long post

first you dont have to shut server down to change starting area or money at all have a program that does it for me just have to tell it where to start them n amount off money the only prob i see is setting how every one would like n dislike you that would be a pain to edit files to start differant every couple of days i always change things on my server to keep it fun if you want come see
