Trash Talk - For an awesome idea for a zone.

Post subject: For an awesome idea for a zone.

I'm thinking make a revolutionary zone based off the Star Trek Series, whilst using the maximum capacity of continuum's programming. The project I have in mind will require a LOT of work, thus I require a good dev team to do it.

I'lll thorw some ideas for it here. For example, name could be along the lines of Star Trek: (tba). But it would be a adventure/roleplaying zone. I have some VERY UNIQUE ideas. For example, you start off on deep space nine, and your ship choices will resemble different top colors in the shoulder area, just like in the series, having a choice of either a bridge commander(red) engineer/security(yellow) or scinece/medical officer (blue) or a Klingon(A mix between security/bridge commander). Those are the first four ships you can use, all spawning in deep space nine.

Include original areas such as Quarks Bar, OPs, Shuttle Bay's, Holo Decks, and much more. Make everything look like it were the real deal, with interactive games such as Dabo Tables, with the bot's helps. Gamble for Latinum, and have things like the Shuttle Bay's have a lvz in them of the Rio Grande, and then make the Holo Decks interactive as well, mabye habe a area in one of the corners of the map be training rooms where you can level up by fighting AI Klingons and stuff via bots that warp you to them giving you the option of where upon entry.

Then theres the ships like 5,6,7, and 8 could be Galaxy Class Federation Ship, Bird of Prey, and much more. When you reach a high enough level you can use the transporter room to be teleported to a shipyard, where a bot would change your ship to a actual ship now, such as a bird of prey. From that point there would be a giant wormhole just NE of DS9, and then theres comets and AI customized bot ships like Borg Cubes, where you can all go into battle with them. The ships like borg cubes could all run off a secondary shipset, along with other ships for the sole purpose of hosting events.

For Example, one of the hidden characters in the second shipset, for hosting events and such, can be Quark, as he can serve drinks to players in the bar. Or for the Holo Deck trtaining monsters, add in borg, gem hadar, ect.

Make a variety of level up skills, for example engineers would have a certain weapons or in this case, a tool that when firing upon a damaged looking part of the station(all bot controlled) a certain amount of times, it gives you a level up in that skill. Make everything interactive in this aspect, inclusing reparing ships that dock on the station when you reach a high enough level of reparing, ect. Same thing goes for the rest fo the skills.

All those ideas and much more. Along with everything Star Trek themed, from health bars, to weapon icons, to bullets and bombs, ect. I think it would be a awesome zone. Now all it needs to be completed is the Development team, which is where this board comes in, anyone who can help with this project, I have MSN, it's jheep@hotmail.com

Feel free to post your comments here.

Well i don't think it's a bad idea but i wonder if your asking too much for someone (That is alot of work to be done).

See if you can get in contact with Cruis.In, he designed a decent Star Trek zone. There is also a startrek shipset at www.ssdownloads.com.

And scrap the ideas for mini-games to play. People don't play subspace to talk to bots.

I am aware of THAT ds9 shipset, I knew the owner. However we need Human and klingon figures, ect.

I strongly disagree there. Playing mini gamer will indeed be a impoirtant factor, for example your deault weapon will be a phaser, you will need to buy an upgrade to something like a compression rifle. And if a player wants one, he'll have to play mini games, and then buy the weapon upgrades from an armory bot.

Thanks Solo, glad to ahve your support, lol. However, with enough people, hopefully this won't take 20 years. =]

I'm glad you like my idea. I'm not asking one person to do all of this LOL!!! I'm asking MANY people, that way it won't be so time consuming, I can help on the graphics and sounds, and even some mapping. POSSIBLE tiles, however lats tile set I made had a line-up error. I didn't know how to fix it.

This is where you guys come in if you choose to do so.

As long as I've been here, and even before, nobody was willing to make someone else's zone. We'll be happy to teach, but not do your work for you.

Many of us have built zones from the ground up either by ourselves or with the help of a friend or two, somebody you really trust. That's how to make a zone.

Kill9mm designed better startrek zones.

Anyway,

If you are going to do something, and actually get a dev team for it, dump this crappy client and use Infantry software.
At least there you can amount to something and no stupid ship quantity limitation.

Star trek has been done externally alot in other zones but i think if you did like interior of a ship it could work but that would require alot of work. And also using people instead of ships would be new because like all the star trek zones just have like the same ships.
