{IDEA} Did some digging

Post by Jtak » Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:28 am

It may havbeen suggested before but here it is again:
MadAce wrote:All new players start out in the same sector. The pax sector. The core of the galaxy. All surrounding systems will be UN. And a bit further all systems will be pax. Slower fuel regen. No corps. 6 Space bases. Lot's of ports. No paradise planets. Fair amount of black holes. -1 for morale in all colonies. No pvp in this area. You are free to colonise here and only low ranking NPC's will bother you. But the problem is that every two weeks one fourth of all your colonies will be abandoned, how big they may are. If you only have one colony then this doesn't matter of course because then you will not lose it. There are small fields of maybe five systems of PvP areas scattered across this sector to let people practice at their own risk. Sleeping here is free and can't kill you. Since experience is persistent trough every sector you can't sleep in Pax or Un for free if you reach 50000 experience. Many connections between systems.

Between secors there are only few warp gates. Which lie in UN territory. So it wouldn't be possible to warp-wait-kill.
Each sector has a ranking. And the whole galaxy has a ranking.
Both for players as well as corps. You can only switch sectors once an hour.

Then you move on to the Arm's. Here it's PvP. Medium ranked NPC's. Fair amount of ports. And 4 space bases. Some black holes. No UN except for the systems surrounding bases. Medium fuel regen. 5 people in a corp. -0.5 Penalty for morale in all colonies. 5 Paradise planets.

After that there is the Outer Rim. High to Very High ranked NPC's. Low amount of ports. 3 Space bases. very few Black holes. No UN. Somewhat faster fuel regen. 10 People in a corp. No morale penalty. 8 Paradise planets.


These were the permanet secors. But between them and surrounding them are Rebang Sectors. The normal Rebang games we know with each having their own rules. You can acces some Rebangs only from the Pax Sector, some only from the Mediocrine Sector and some only from the Vet sector.
But there should be a system of commercial warp gates that lets you travvel to every rebang quickly for a fee. The fee being according to your experience. Of course some sectors/rebangs become unenterable when you reach a certain experience.

Imagine you have colonies in two sectors. You only get experience from the colonies of the sector you are in.

Every sector has a chat channel. Shouting over the whole galaxy requires a fee. Mails and private is free.
There are commands to ignore certain kinds of messages.

So you can't get to all your colonies after you pass a certain experience level? :cry:

What about losing xp?

Make it so that some warp holes are not UN protected and can be camped. But also make it so that there will be multiple warpholes going to the same sector with UN protection.
