How was i supposed to know this?

I wonder if we can build ships with their own docking stations. Imagine docking with another ship in aetherspace...

Now, if you had multiple docking stations, Deepnight could become the DS9 or the Babylon 5 of Lusternia.

I am curious as to what will happen. There will likely be battles, but what about trade. Are we trying for a Enterprise-like situation where you explore, gather strange elements, and trade with other beings. Will there be continents that can only be reached by Aetherships? Will there be need for Refueling stations (again, a use for a place like Deepnight, perhaps)?

Sorry to keep using deepnight as an example.

Will there be a need for Aetherwars. Could there be ways to expand influence outside of Lusternia prime--maybe colonies on an aetherbubble, and to influence them you end up having to travel in a fleet of ships to get there??!

The possibilities are endless...

No you cant, you can ram other ships to board them, and fight with them, but that's the closest thing that comes to boarding ship-ship.

Love all those ideas...
Vix2006-02-04 03:46:43
Is Deepnight a ship yet? With all of those rooms it's like a fortress probably... Of course, it'd be super slow too.

See, soon there will be the Imperial Magnagoran Armada, and the Royal Celestian Navy, and what ever Serenwilde and Glomdoring might have. Then we will have our PIRATES and free traders. Seeing as the ships can come interplanar, as well, i assume somewher along the line, eventually, there will be trade or something, or areas only accesable by Aetherships.

Well.. I figure by the time Hallifax comes out I'll have dropped out of school to pay for tons of credits to become the Vortex Pirate, , and wage war with various factions.

Damn Lusternia for being awesome.

We all know if Richter likes it, He'll make deepnight into both of those combined and be like bwuahaha I was the first, now come visit and have a drink while your at it! bwuahah

I love this change because it makes it even harder to define Lusternia's supernatural powers as magic. From now on, I'm never going to say 'magic' IC again.

Vortex is Guadiguch, you mean Continuam or something like that. My spelling just sucks.

Yeah, you're right.. well, screw the title! I'll have a long, shiny knife, and purty clothing.

Then I'll seduce Ialie for a secondary ship. kiss.gif ninja.gif

Edit: ohmy.gif Lisaera is so sneaky.. is anyone exploring?

I just thought i'd say, Much <3's for Roark and the Staff, for bringing us Ships in the small time we've been out, and before Achaea got them! tongue.gif
Simimi2006-02-04 04:20:50
There are continents....there is a snow one with snowmen on it! *goes to firebreath the hell out of one*
Anisu2006-02-04 04:30:23
yeah it's pretty neat, though one question, will our manse connections to cities only work if docked with the aetherplex?

edit : nevermind you can portal exit aetherplex from any organisational aether portal room

Judging from the bubbles I've been to, reality just is not quite reality in the aether. Poor Catarin thinks she's lost her mind.
Richter2006-02-04 04:37:47
Deepnight will not become a ship. One, that'd be freaking wierd. Unless I turned it onto a floating fortress... However, because it would be so slow, I'm going for a smaller, sleeker version. I think the D.N.S. Stroke of Luck will really be a ship now. smile.gif
Malicia2006-02-04 04:37:58
This has to be the most amazing thing I've never seen in a mud. I'm speechless. Right now, Malicia is soaring about the void with two gunners in Elryn's ship, taking down monsters'we've never seen and the navigation is beautiful. I am....

shocked.

Seriously. This is amazing. Nice work, Lusternia. Now I'm tempted to raid my savings.


Diamante's ship is going to be hot.
Anisu2006-02-04 04:39:50
I wish I could afford turrets, damn you IRE right when I thought I had everything I wanted and could stop buying credits you ruin it by making new stuff! tongue.gif
