The New Clan Ships

[sh03z]

oh un she wasnt alone forgods sake

[Carter]

i'm sorry sh03z...

I asked u a while back about useing u'r models for clan ships and u said ok. I asked if i could reskin them and u said that was fine too. If u don't want them as clan ships then that is fine. They are u'r ships and u can decide what is to be done with them. If u want them to be avalable to all then thats fine, if the clans want ships of their very own I can try to find time and model some more ships. I in no way would ever want to upset u. U have done some wonderful work on modeling and I don't want u to feel left out.

Let me know what u want to do. All i want is to make everyone happy, i've worked for weeks and weeks coding all the ships, testing them, making them specificaly for what each clan asked for. All of this time you never said anything to me. I've posted about testing i've sent u pms about updates on the ships, but u have never let me know that u felt this way and didn't want u'r ships used by the clans. We have each put in countless hours on all of the ships so i hope that we can come to an agreement to make eachother happy and the rest of void.

Sorry for a bit of a rant there but its been a long day and now a bit upset. Just let me know what u want me to do and i'll try and do it in anyway i can.

I say my own word to this also:

First of all, these are awesome ships, great job has been done with them:)

but i think that if there are clan ships, they should be used by clans only, because that way the clans would have their own style and identity..wouldn't it be little weird if lets say 30 or 40 players would have Stargate clanship for example?..

Thank you for this thread Carter.
In your 1st post,

Two... Make the ships avalable to all but have the clan each have a clan skin. So when they buy the clan skin will be added.

I like this option from the standpoint of alleviating any confusion
about Clan affiliation.

Great Job BTW
You ROCK

I kinda agree with Frac, however the other part of me want's to keep our cool KBA ship all to ourselvs..... lol

[Fracture]

lol Durango,
I hear you but I must take as much of an un-biased stance
as possible.

If I were new here,
I would want the chance to try all ships.

A thought here:
Maybe the Price should be in the 100 millions.

Still all could buy but ...Would They ?

Hmmmm ?

Yes i agreed the clans should and could have em but in no means did i say noone else can have them, that just wouldnt befare, ive always stated if the clans want the ships the freelancers must get an equal vessel with a different skin and maybe a little weaker.... iam not a clanner

ive also spent weaks hrs pain at scripting, testing remodding and i must say there was nothing wrong with me script or mod,.. thee only thing missing was me ids names in game. thats why i havnt been on void server the work load.

i donot agree to clans who might disband getting there own ship which noone else can use {uh a stale ship}

In reality all countries hve the same stuff with different names and different skins i.e cars . planes ships etc ...
why should this be different?

il leave it upto strail what happens its his built community, he knows best as hes bin runnin it a while un knows peoples reactions to things new goods/and bads

cur. god bless

Elessar hit the nail on the head. The original idea i had with the clan ships was to give each clan an identity. Each clan to have a specific ship design and skin to fit with the clan. Each ship has been fitted to each clan. I totaly see the stand point from the freelancers point of view for they want to fly these really cool ships too. But being a freelancer would u want to fly a ship designed for the Sanurai clan for example. The clan ships are kinda like clan colors exept taken to the next level. Yes other servers have clan colors but void would be the first to have clan ships. I think this would make the void community and mod the best mod around. For clans won't only have common goals and roleplaying, but they will have a planet and ship to call home.

Ok here is another option I can put the clan ship mod up for a week and let the whole void community see the ships, fly the ships and decide for themselves how they should apear in the final mod. I can post a mod in a week or so for i need to finish codeing in fixes. does this sound like a good idea?

could always use the model cloner to copy the "clan ships" and make one for clans, and another for freelancers.

Theres a thign everyone is forgetting who said YES TO ALL. Well its a CLAN ship right? There fore who should it be for? Think about it, i know its hard but come on if its a CLAN ship.

[kragan]

sorry if this has been said but i am a new here.

ok what i think you should make a planet where all the clan ships are there to buy but only the clan who like owns can use it and make it so if any other person other than the people in that clan will get finded if they use it or even ban.

[Freaker]

I agree with durango and frac
I think we should see this clan ship matter as some new increment of idea for new ship design .I don't think keeping the ships only for would the idea of the community in the Void.

I would like to make a few suggestions:

clans have a skin that would apply to any ship a clan member purchase(maybe a link with the name?)

clan ship can only be purchased at a the clan base

clan member get the clan ship cheaper so if they wish to switch between trading or fighting the money won't be to big a problem : not the ship by itself but the weapon too

the money for the ship goes to the clan account thus making the clan a source of money they need for the new member and a clan propriety

I heard about clan planet and i don't get it .Will it be in a specific system like it is right now were nobody goes ? also why not make clan outpost or planet in different system adding some diversity like in the game were the faction have outpost around does the planet gives the clan some resources advantages like tradding goods that are produced only on that base ?

there is also one thing i find sad : only caln memeber are posting about this topic . I know if they don't stand up nobody will hear them but could it be possible to make annoucement in the game to get more feedback?

there is also one problem nobody talked about : the future
if the ships are clan exclusive what about the future clan they gonna have to wait for new mods for their own ship

doesn't it make you feel like a closed community when you first come to a sever were ships belong only to some ? we are a community ! i understand each clan wants to stand out but even for clan memeber they may want to have as much choice for ships as they want !

for myself i would love to have a new ship every now and then if only they were cheaper ....

wow long post.... i just had a few suggestions to make...lol

[Johny_Kat]

My opinion:


All ships should be available to all players...

Clan ships should have special skinnings.

You can use the original textures of the ships for the freelancer ships, that would mean no additional work.


Think of it as "ship tuning"

[Carter]

Nice post Freaker, Some good ideas and suggestion. The skin idea is good but I don't think it would be possable to make a generic skin that would fit all the ships for each clan. (that is if clans what logos) colors are doable. But to get the logo to line up on each ship would be really hard. I like the revanue idea, so when u buy a ship the clan gets money. I think that might be good.

At this point i just want to do whats best for the void. It seems no matter what happens with the ships there are going to be people unhappy. If ships are clan excusive then freelancers are going to be unhappy and if they are avalable to all clans will be unhappy. *sigh* maybe the ships should not be clan ships at all just alot of new ships for void. I can take off the logos on them and just make generic skins.
