(please dont delete) Server Ideas:

Sat Apr 19, 2003 9:51 am by milliways

Post all ideas about what a good server can be and about good clan things..
this is what i think:

that clans can buy bases:

small base: little base, like the one you destroy in some missions.. (10 regular guns, small armor and cost 50 million)

medium base: like west point academy (15 regular guns, medium armor and cost 75 million)

large base: like fort bush (20 regular guns, large armor and cost 100 million)

suprime battleship: like battleship missoury (15 heavy guns, heavy armor and cost 200 million) EXTRA: got weapons 4 platforms around it with 3 normal guns per platform.

all of these should be able to be destroyed but the clan should be able to repair it by hiring repair ships and give the repair ships scrap metal, construction machinery and money.

First when you have bought your base you dont have any guns in it.. to get guns you must get them yourselfs and sell them to the base... and then other clan members can stop by and buy them...

to get a ship to be sold at a base you must pay 1 million per level of ship (10 million for a titan, eagle and sabre).. thats the fee to sell that kinda ships..
and everything that is sold on the base will 25% of the money go to the clan bank.

commoneties: only base prices... not to much difference than the border systems... must be fair and not to high or to low..

where should the bases be allowed to be??? : yes in the empty systems like alaska, tau systems and in unknown systems... and maby in other places too..

any ideas or comments?

You probably woudn't want the battleship to be mobile--that's opening a whole new can of worms.

As for commodities prices, the idea should be that you have only the inventory that people have sold to you, and you set your own prices. If you do it right, you can make a lot of money by stocking and selling goods that others may not have the faction to buy or sell.

Other ideas for bases: guild factions, which will allow you to decide what other player guilds to allow to land at your base, and who will be fired upon. Also, the average faction of the guild members might determine the standing of the base to other factions. Too many members with a bad rep with the police might cause the police to start attacking your base....

I think this stuff will be for FL2 as you cant make such moddefications unless you have the sourcecode.

well thats what i mean, that u can decide who can land and who can not... and maby some NEUTRAL to your clan must pay a fee to land or something...

1 small problem, a clan whit 5 members can destroy a base in a minute. Rush in at Cruise speed, kill the engine each one lauches 5 torps (comming in at 38 5m/s) and hit cruise again. That is how the Donau went down, and that was one of the bigest ships.
Although the donau had its denfence grid down, we all know how good the turret AI is and it will take atleast 5 minutes to scrambel a few clan members. wich is usless any way because all theire ships got cooked inside the base. And if the death penalty is death it would wipe out a clan.

I think that clan bases could be placed in random new made systems in the borderworlds.

yeah you are right..
maby if the base has some kind of anti torp thing... so only one of 5 torps would hit or something...
and when the base dies, it can eather be respawned when the server resets or eather if the clan repairs it with scrap metal, construction machinery and hired repair ships (beleve me i have seen those ships and i want some work for them =D...)

but the bases shouldnt be easy to be destroyed, but they should be able to be destroyed..

when repairing the base it should be like: 2000 scrap metal and 200 construcion machinery to do it...

or something... any modder intrested in making this mod???

That would be outstanding. Christ people would be living on there like Everquesters do on their servers. Setting something like that up would become a definate full time job heh. But it sounds cool.

Born to fight, ready to kill, prepared to die, but never will.

maybe if the bases cant be killed but the leader of the clan will be able to register names into it so if that guy comes near it, it will open fire. That sorta thing. And maybe even be able to hire NPC pilots to guard your base.And maybe even be able to command them to follow you. It would be cool to have clan battles wihtnot only players.
