It really depends on how building and pvp would work. If building was only allowed in special safe areas, then we dont have to worry about it. But it is quite alluring about having the ability to build things freely all around the world. Or if there was no open pvp then players wont have to worry about others murdering everyone for their stuff. But then you can't do much to those who really piss you off by standing in doorways. |

Maybe a small amount of click-push |

I finished my new computer last night, but I have no way of connecting it to the internet - and Ubuntu is stuck in low graphics mode. I'm still mulling over methods for implementing building. I think that there should be some way for players to earn building rights. I don't want it to be too long or too complex of a process - everyone who wants to should be able to, but in one way or another it needs to be limited. My current idea is something along the lines of "building kits", which are essentially pre-selected carts. Think something along the lines of "Camp Building Kits", "Fortification Building Kits", "Complete Building Kits", ETC. Amins could distribute them, or player-run stores. Doubt it's possible. Could just be replaced by single bricks and work like scavenge. The most complex script I've ever made was a chat-based help menu. The more complex things get, the more help I'll need. |

I hate futuristic stuff. I hope it doesn't turn out like the "Cowboys and Aliens" movie which was a complete waste of time to watch. When you say Space western. Do you only mean like a western sort of, wild/outlaw, society or the classic wild west in specific. Architecture, saloons, hats and everything. |
