Anyone else smell a "Storm" brewing . . .

I'm thinking of a "5th Anniversary of the D2" party. A less restrictive server then as of late. Definetly with the theme of bringing back some old players for it's 5th birthday. Maybe even VC's for the side with the most returning old timers. ;)
And yes, a storm is brewing......

Feed me some details when you can Jeff, I'm in contact with some "old timers" who might be interested, maybe a few "first timers" as well who I've been doing some battlefests with.

Nope, no new material. No critical corrections. No batch of models. No new SFB modules.
Go for it.

Those who I'm in contact with are wondering if this might be an EAW server rather than OP, since you are trying to attact the "old guard".
Also there was concern over limits on fleeting, and extention of the server into advanced era. The advanced era likely being the biggest turn off for them.
So can you give me some details on these issues to feedback to them Jeff?

Let me see...
Will be OP. No X-ships. Not sure what you mean by fleeting. Do you mean flying more then 1 ship per player?
-
Yes that is what was meant.
Also some preference was shown for a stock list, or at least close to stock. None of the fancy expansion model cheese, but rather something retro like the old campaigns.
-
You mean something that I can just up and play, without 50 different files to load? :P :) Bring on the cheesy drone boats!!! WooHoo!!!

Just wondering Jeff, have you by anychance still got a copy of the Shiplist from CW6? I'd say go with that list and the CnC for fleeting from that server as your basis with minor tweaks where neccessary. That was likely the best server ever and was the last one that had such massive turnout.

CW6 had a stock shiplist. Maybe R out the new stuff from OP+, use OP+ 4 so we can keep the cool models.
Best CnC rules were on SGO3

All I ask is that the Lyrans get the fancy- if terribly easy to destroy- BCV from SGO4
(and Klingon fighters)
Other than that I'll play with prett much any shiplist.

Yeah, that was a good shiplist. I like the way it organized ships in the NEW_HEAVY_CRUISER class.
But, G-BCS and L-BCHT will need to be set at 3 PFs. Otherwise, there will be another flamewar hurricane following the storm clouds. I think SS2 had about 300 posts on this issue alone, not to mention a mid-server shiplist change. And, if you are going to use WYN and/or LDR ships, I would keep them in a restricted zone like the tholians; not for general usage.

for a retro server the stock list with a few tweaks migh not be bad at all. If you want to attract the retired players, I think something close to stock is the way to go. By tweaks I mean split hardpoints and some minor adjustments such as the added drones on the Klingon DNs, and things of that nature that were done to mildly improve some of the crappy ships without major overhauls.

Yeah, hands-down best 2 servers based on participation in the post-SFC3 era was SGO3 and SS2 still; irregardless of BCH-fests. No servers in Y2004 and YTD Y2005 knocked them off. Go back to those rule sets, shiplists and missions. They also used all 8 races. *doing happy, happy, joy, joy dance* :D

God, I'm getting forgetfull......
Does restricting a ship in the shiplist remove it from AI selection too, or do you have to put the hull class to SPECIAL as well?
Sheesh....lol
