How does your head fit through a door?
Stop hijacking the thread. We all know I go around/under/over the door. This is about two concerns I have. One is that such limited ship selection may adversely affect the serverkit AI choices introducing errors into the DB and the other is server longevity. Have you actually asked yourself how you will feel flying the same several ships for 3 weeks with no tech progression and no variety? If you thought the missions on AOTK2 were bad, wait till you get a load of how formulaic the missions will be with such limited setup mission after mission for 3 weeks. I think it deserves some consideration.
Honestly, Lepton, you are a liberal thinker, surely you agree getting issues like this out in front way ahead of game time is fair play.
As a casual player, I have different concerns. I don't plan to be on the server for massive amounts of time. I get bored. I leave and come back some other day. It's no fault of the server design as far as I am concerned whether I become bored or not. The very idea of this server is for a restricted time period, restricted tech, restricted ship server. It's certainly Hex's right to put up such a server if he wishes. If he builds it, they will come or not. As I say, he is under no obligation to entertain you.
As I also said, I am sure Hex is more than willing to accept technical advise or assistance. However, I find the way that you couch your assistance/criticism to be indicative of your general sense of self-importance. Be that as it may, if you feel slighted, you have my apologies. Perhaps I am too quick to find fault without cause.
Please continue with fleshing out the server issues and offering any assistance you can but let's not stray too far from Hex's original conception if it is technically feasible. He certainly has a right to see his server realized in the manner that he imagined it.
