- can't believe I made this this original post 4 years ago! I still think the idea hold value, would love to see a server that operates a scenario like this!
- If only I had the skill and capability (and patience) of you, Vermillion, ReXxus, Jaschsa and others who's work is so instrumental to driving the game and community onwards. I'm not to bad a dreaming though! and its fun to think about ideas from time to time. Errata: I did once create a Instance/mission, that via an indirect route, ended up in the vanilla game* (for at least a while...), so I am not completely hopeless - but not any ware in the same league of you guys. * ...and like the star wars intro - that was a long long time ago...
A server similar to this existed a long time ago. It was called Red vs. Blue, basically similar concept in controlling a map with 2 origins. Very limited functionality tho, plus only had vanilla configs. The scenario I'm working on is somewhat similar, if only vaugely. A SW galaxy with Emp vs. Reb and occupation of civilized worlds. Obviously a lot more restrictive though than your idea. The item dup is a big problem that sadly idk if it can be fully adhered to, not without extreme manual punitive measures.
The intention, as stated by BrokenShackles, was to be the main Empyrion PvP server. Somehow BrokenShackles and I didn't really manage to get it completely off the ground. We did alright recruiting about a dozen people per team (I ran Red team and he ran Blue team) but I think I failed a bit trying to referee a PvP encounter or two and people ended up getting frustrated and leaving. Not sure it was entirely my fault, but in any case it coulda gone better. Bit of a shame, was super fun while it lasted. Would be interesting to try something like that again in the future! I was a bit of a clown and pressed the wrong button and fell out of my ship when I tried to start recording. But here is at least a clip of what we were doing back then.
