The-Starport FLServer ?

Can’t agree on vanilla, can’t agree on mods…

Community servers have been tried in the past, and never really succeed. I think that’s because the idea of the server isn’t decided before it is put up.

Is it to advertise other mods? Or their features?
Is it to provide a place to play with each other without requiring a huge download?
Is it just to have fun/community spirit?

You could consider a mod rotation of mods that have no server? Some older mods perhaps…that way it isn’t in competition with anyone (although stability may be an issue).

Alternatively, you can try getting folks to contribute, but what happens when someone needs to make a change quickly? A whole re-issue? If you include features of all these mods, you’d need them to work hard together - is that possible? Do you really want to deal with all those egos?

Or just go vanilla with some server side changes. Harder PC’s and the occasional invasion or increased police presence / patrols / piracy along the more popular trade routes (ie as people increase trade along one route, you can (server side) increase the piracy frequency by NPC’s on that route… and their ferocity/difficulty, which may make the route decrease as they find alternatives, or it may increase cooperation between players etc).

Just my thoughts Either way, administering the server will take time.

When I make a comment on the lines of “too many hands…” people react badly.

Here’s another case in point.

When did this topic start?

And how long have we been talking?

Yep. Just another coffee-shop.

Just get on and put anything on, admins.

Then at least there will be SOMETHING, not just a lot of cud-chewing.

Only dictatorships work, that’s my most recent philosophy.

I’ve lived by that for years when it comes to running servers, dictatorships are the only way to do it. As soon as more than one person is involved, dramas happen. Simply put a mod on the server and get on with it lol
