Had an idea. Rather than simple focusing on modern futuristic stuff, I could manipulate Flan's content to split things up into tiers, nerfing and buffing equipment based on it's time period (so that you can't have a WW2 era tank one shotting a Challenger 2 or a future tank) and create a token system and tier specific weapon boxes to further split up the tiers.

Noobs start out in the middle of nowhere with sweet bugger all (random spawning), then proceed to work their way through the Tiers until they reach the space age.

Current plans for the tiers, yay/nay?

Tier 0:
Biplane
Crappy rifle
Swords
Tier 1 Token: 1 bronze K'Iii

Tier 1 (WWI):
WW1 guns (Lee Enfield, Mosin, ect.)
Simple grenades
Sopwith Camel
Fokker DR.1
Renault FT-17
Any other WWI era stuff

Tier 2 token: 10 bronze K'lii

Tier 2 (WW2):
WW2 guns
WW2 tanks
WW2 planes
WW2 uniforms

Tier 3 token: 1 silver K'lii

Tier 3 (Cold war):
1950-80 era guns
Cold war aircraft (EE lightning, Jag ect.)
Cold war tanks
Old helicopters (Huey, Hind, Cobra)
Simple guided missiles

Tier 4 token: 10 silver K'lii

Tier 4 (Modern Wafer):
Modern tanks (M1A2, FV4034, T-90)
Modern jets (F-22, Typhoon, ect.)
Modern helicopters (Apache, Havoc ect.)
Modern guns
Modern armours
Computers as a crafting element
Advanced guided missiles

Tier 5 token: 1 gold K'lii

Tier 5 (Futuuuuure):
Starfighters (Fang, Scimitar)
Future tanks (Baneblade, Leviathan)
Future guns (Lasers, bolters)
Future armours
Mechs
Mech weaponry
MIDAS and other starships???
Requires ores from moon, ect (provided by Galacticraft)



There's still some gaps to fill, so I won't be putting this on right away, but if anyone thinks it's worth a damn I'll develop the idea.

Not quite sure how the whole tier thing would work. Would they need the tokens for the tiers? And what would stop them from making higher tokens?

Each tier has a weapon box in which you craft the tokens, materials and weapons. As all vehicles are crafted from the same table, we can split it up so that different tiered vehicles include their respective token as part of the crafting recipe.

As for crafting higher tier tokens, you can only craft token in boxes of higher or equal tier. Each tier of box will require components only craft able from the previous tier. Meaning you actually have to work through the tiers to get to higher tiers, each tier requiring more elaborate materials to produce.

[ACH0225]

Sounds pretty good. Now people won't have giant walls of weapon boxes.

[Prototype]

Actually I was just going to be lazy and make weapon boxes of any respective tier craft able for free from the tier box. Just for the sake of categorization. All it means is that you don't have to waste materials making every weapon box, once you have the tier box you just make those for nothing.

Yer Concept sounds of the good, pls develop.

Well I think I might have found the host:

https://www.beastnode.com/

According to their site, the best I can get with my price range (creeper plan) is:

+ Unlimited Player Slots (Suggested 1-60)
+ 3072MB of Dedicated RAM
+ Intel Xeon Processors (8 cores)
+ 1000Mbit Port & No Bandwidth Limitations
+ Multicraft Game Panel
+ Mod Support (Bukkit, Tekkit, Feed the Beast, etc)
+ Full FTP Access Included
+ Unlimited Disk Space†
+ Free MySQL Database
+ Basic support (mod/plugin installs, guidance, general questions)
- More advanced support requests may have extra fees.
+ Free Mumble Voice Server


Just doing some extra snooping around for information, but I think I might try and buy in the new year.

[Ivan2006]

This does sound very good.

My current vps is with beastnode and I have 0 complaints.

Well, other than the 5$ discount they promised me. But other than that everything's extremely speedy; I remember back when I hosted the FC server for a time I had them and everything went well on the backend (couldn't help the buggy game it ran).

I'd ask if that could be negotiated to be a TeamSpeak server (if only because I think most of us have TS), but I'm just nitpicking. Looks excellente.

[Tell]

You know I could get you guys a 300 slot teamspeak server for free right?

[Error]

I did not. Now I do.
