[Server Idea] Armageddon DX

Post by Genesis » Tue Sep 12, 2006 10:32 am

I'd like to think of Armageddon as a mass destruction event, or something in which there is terminal and absolute chaos. How about a server to match it's name?

2 Systems: One is Sol, protected; restock, reshield, renuke, etc. No colonies.
The other system is a giant system with no planets. You do nothing but FIGHT!
50 players in the system at a time, so this encourages those who want action; you spawn at Sol so you aren't killed every 3 seconds by combatants.

Hows the idea?

EDIT:
Added the poll.

Only if there is a GIANT Volcanic, and an npc that has 2,000,000 shields that can destroy Starports while you are in them. :twisted:

BAD

there can only be 1 winner and that could be somebody who is camping sol and waiting till there aren't a lot of people and letting the noobs kill most of the strong people then the campers go duke it out and then only the most nooby wins

but if it's blitzkrieg it doesnt matter who wins....

anyway you can't hide, the only way to get xp is to be in the fight or constantly go discover the solstarbase :roll:

Hmm... well, only 2 systems aren't enough I'd say... but one being the starbase system, and there being 9 systems overall, I'd say it'd be pretty fun, of course, only if there is infinite money :roll:

Make the server a permanent one as well, so that there are no winners :twisted:


This would actually have a purpose: vent off the frustration you get while cleaning all the pollution :P :roll:

And change the name to "Free for all - mass kill server". + infinite money at start up

Revised idea:
Thank you all for your comments that actually don't bash my idea.

Anyway, here's a new proposition:

Blitzkreig 2 or the original name.

You have 4mil to spend wisely. There are no winners or losers, it's just for mass fun killing stuff and wasting time.

Rank, exp, and rep don't matter, since medals aren't given out :P

Cap limit raised to maybe tops of 60 players in the fragfest system.

If you camp, then it defeats the purpose of the server; you can't really win, it's just for fun.

Maybe making this a perma?

Like said, it's better off with unlimited money and being a perma than a 4h rebang with 4 million credits as starting money. I was serious with my previous post btw

And because it's only two systems with no creativity required, it should be relatively easy to make.

I'll be on there owning 70% of the time, and maybe it'll draw battle-hardened vets back! :D
That would rock...

let me think

*activating brain*

*thinking*

*brain crashed. software incompatable with brain version, please upgrade your brain*

*goes to study the software*

*reboot*

*now it's working*

ok here is my idea

everyone gets unlimited ammo, energy, WF (lol?)

so everyone can buy nukes and crap and mass kill!

and everyone is ranked as a newbie! you can't lose ANYTHING! you start off with 0 credits, everything bought. and it wont run out! you choose your ship at the start, you get money, all of the ships cost the same but you can't use the admiral weapons so it's free only!

2 systems. 1 for combat. the other is for resting if you wanna breath a bit and let your computer gather up ram to stop freezing up

WTF IS BLITZERKEIG?

and here is the catch! it's endless ownzermant! perma server! great server to just go release steam!

It's just a server to have fun in and blast EVERYTHING in sight...
Blow some steam and not worry about pollution.

blitzkreig is a 4 hour server where you start with 2.5 mil and all colony production is super accelerated.

no this is not continuum this is starport.

I respect your opinion; all I'm saying is that I think SGE needs to see a bit more action ;)

Invading, yeah, loads of fun when you fight a zounds with good friends, but I think PK is exciting also. A dedicated server is nice, since people cannot whine about dying, because that's nearly a pastime on a server like this ;)

Plus, SSC has crappy graphics, and SGE does not. SGE's chaos is organized, whereas SSC is a large map with a bunch of walls and players to blast you to pieces with missiles. Controls a bit lacking, and hard to catch on. SGE alleviates that in my opinion.

In addition, the poll also decides if I submit to MadAce for an official vote.

Let people buy the ig ship, for a test run. But only if this isnt a perma. It would be awesome to test it out and screw around. You know the more people who see how awesome it is the more people who will buy it.

Ha, awesome. I never bought one until the refund patch. I never would have before even if I knew how great of ship it was, but I do think that if someone were to fly it for a test drive they might be more willing to buy it.

Why shouldn't it be perma?
If it rebangs, there'll be delays before people can start, and there's no point in rebanging a fragfest server. I mean, no colonies and all that.
Not really a point to make it a rebang...

That idea was bashed.

Think of the lag, and the ridiculous number of servers created. :lol:

how about making an option?

as in... show official servers only and show all

we have that but they are all official by some way...

hey... private games can be fun

a blitzkreig lan party sound like a good idea

But that's not the purpose of this topic.

Anyway, submit to MadAce?

A simple Yes/No will do, and provide explaination if you say "No."

We've done this on Blitz. While a 2 system server may be too small, a normal server is way too big. I'd like to see something like this, though... a small server with a short life-span of a few hours, similar to Blitz, but about 1/4th the size, no domes for sale...

That's because almost 3 years ago when this post was made, there was no research lab and ideas were posted in engineering, and forum vets remember this.
