Curious KAT wants to know ;D
-
SS3 then SGO7.
Somewhere in between Bartok Hexx and DH are all talking about servers themselves. So exactly what's up I dunno.
-
I have 2 ideas that I want to do soon using basically the same MOD/setup . . .
- Federation & Empires: Setup should be self-explanatory
- ISC Invasion: Again, should be self explanatory. Late Era ISC versus everyone but Jackie Chan Style, they fight one enemy at a time :)
I don't know when, I',m very busy at work and spend most of my night times with this game listengin ti people bicker about minutia instaed of beiong productive.
-
What would be productive as I have no idea what might or might not need to be done?

For any server you need:
- The Mod: More or less done, could have done in a day if I stop taking people's input and just go with my judegment
- The Map: I suck at this but I acquired a great one based on the standard SFB map that might do fine.
- The Missions: This is in flux right now with ED, TG,, and Karnak working on Warp disengagement.
- The VCs: can be a simple land-grab or can be much more complicated. I suck at this also
- The Rules: Can steal these from Dizzy :)
- The Hardware: I got this :)
- Time to think about stuff. I ain't got this.
-
I see what you are saying but I wasn't really proposing to create a whole server in my own image. If there is something I can do, let me know. If it is within my abilities and knowledge, I will give it a shot.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing a Fed + Allies VS Pirates server. It would be sort of a cops and robbers kind of thing.
-
Nice break down DieHard ;)
- The Mod: I've tinkered with forever, been playing with a Bab5 kinda thing in my head - balancing is impossible... got distracted by my need to play + fiddling with importing ships
- The Map: This is a hard one too, I'd love to see the one you've got based on the standard SFB map tho!
- The Missions: while the warp stuff could be fun, the Evildave missions from SG06 seem nice!
- The VC's: Here's where I suck, VC/Rules go hand in hand and the more complex, the less a server admin actually gets to play (imo) and has to moderate..
-The Rules: see above
-The Hardware: I got this too - at least it's worked before for a server that I kept up for a couple month w/minimum downtime (yeah, it's a laptop ;)
only thing now about hardware is, we've all become (i believe) incredibly addicted to the OCI and i can't offer that
-Time to think about stuff: I have "some"of this, but the complexity that all the above take on spirals you out of control.... and you never get something going....
That being said, when I have put up a server, it's classified as a "fun" server, which to some means not serious - though i don't know what i think about that. I honestly like really long running / steady state servers (a la the Forge) to be up and available to the community. Even when "serious" campaign servers are being run which have the specific goals/vc's involved...
waxing rhapsodic here....
Cheers to All

We need some firm and fast rules on what we all want to see in warp disengagement.
For example, just use Huge Maps and give players ability to warp-out at FTL speeds (ie. 3000) to disengage; basically, replacing the "taco-belling across the red-line" tactic. Or, as an added feature, have missions that can do fast sub-light stuff (ie. speeds 125, 500, 1000) at yellow alert.
Once that is figured out the mission packs can be updated accordingly for dyna play.

It would be nice, but that means one of two things. Either pirates double up and occupy empire slots or the empire/cartel layer interaction has to be fixed.

Well, I am waiting... ;D ;D ;D
<tap><tap><tap><tap><tap><tap> :)
waiting for a more definite answer.
-
Seriously DH get it in gear already LOL
sorry couldn't help it... Always seems when I get time off of work there's no server.. Thanks for that! lol
Kidding...
However I am getting a little bored over here... Where are my old buddies ( aka everyone who knows me well enough to want to kill me. I'm itching to fly again.
Forge is fun and all but I never could stomach X-tech.
-
Speaking of the Forge. Who's server is that? Any chance these features (atleast some) will be included in the next server. Really quite fascinating I'm quite enjoying all the features... Just not the x-tech lol

It's Bonk's for testing things like SQL serverkit and the like. Unfortunately, Bonk is MIA due to a new job in the middle of nowhere.

He should take my job and work in the middle of no one.
-
The middle of noone? That doesn't make much sense, Alpha hon. Care to elaborate?

I'm guessing telecommuter ?
-
Could be. Knowing Sarah from some long IM convos, telecommuting would be ideal for her.
-
Actually I work in a busy office. The "no one" part comes from the fact that my cubicle is smack-dab in the middle of the Financial Aid Department of my Division.
-
I am still waiting for an answer. :)

My ISP has capped my upload, I'm kinda screwed right now, can't host anything.
-
Np DH, take your time to straighten things out w/ your ISP.
-
I have not used this in a long time.
BUMP ;D
-
I can't say what the status of the next server is because I know SS3 will go b4 SG7 and SS3 hasnt started yet.
-
I'm not ready. I simply don't have the time available on a daily basis to oversee it once it has started. Other admins will tell you that it literally takes hours a day to keep up with stuff once it starts, and I don't have that time right now. I hope that will change very soon. If anyone is ready with a campaign, then by all means, go ahead!
-
Well, I'm about to get banned, so I hope someone else has a server ready, lol.
-
For What?
-
Dizzy banned? What is this world coming to?! Seriously, WTH?
-
Well, I'm about to get banned, so I hope someone else has a server ready, lol.
Dizzy? Banned?! What's the real plot here?
-
Do I need ask when? Jeff keep working and keep us updated of when. :)
Dizzy, you also better keep us informed on the status of your server or else. ;D

It was my understanding that Storm Season 3 was to be next...
Shoot, we've even got Alliance and Coalition forums set up already on sfc2.net.
Who was doing that one again...?
