New Server Ideas

I've been thinking about a new server, and have come up with the following:

- Start at random places in the universe (like on FL Heaven)
- You don't get banned fro PK'ing in Liberty, but using the IONCROSS server management thingy, you get placed on Planet Gammu with an unshielded Legionairre with 15 nanobots (no more), no credits, hostile with ALL factions, and fully loaded with Justice Mk I. If you get out of Omicron Space (ie into Omega-41, Sigma-17, Sigma-19, etc.) you get your rep returened to normal, and fully restored to what you were before!
- Start with 10k
- Select a faction (if you like) to start with, and you'll be given the respective ship and loadout.

Anymore?

it seems more like, testing skills and doing something treamendes to be accepted to some Clan or some hot shoots wana prove themselves worthy of being called the best!

its completly not clear what this got to do with server or even MP.

why anyone would use such server, unless he gets 5+ million credits after doing what you suggested

I'd sell my nanobots and buy a shield, then I'd get the remaining into shield batteries, I would kill some corsairs, tractor their weapons, then equip them. I would soon grow my nanobots/shield ratio and I'd sell them to get a better shield. Then I would go find some wreck, equip them, and run like hell to the sigmas.

Wait, am I spoiling the trick to complete it? Oh, sorry, god damn....

Unfortunately Cardamine, this is a LOT of work for a sysadmin. For myself there is moderating the server's boards, advertising the server by posting on other forums (like here), checking the server for cheaters, talking to the players, setting up events, troubleshooting server hardware and software issues, etc. To randomly setup players starting locations I believe would take a third party program unless you are dedicated like Captain Tylor and can do that every night. Also unless it's done automatically (like with JoeBoomz' excellent FLSO) it would get old fast moving, editing, monitoring and reinstating cheaters that in my mind aren't worth a microsecond of effort in the first place.

Instead these are excellent suggestions for events which happen occassionally on many servers toward an effect at gathering together those that are interested. My server runs these usually once every weekend thanks to a player called WAN_SOLO who thinks up and referees many of these events. As interest mounts and more players wish to help, more events can be added.

I'd just settle for some server side mod that I can use in the alaska system. Make encounters there, have minable stuff, that sort of thing.
