what if we had a server where we could pick up a ship from a jumpgate and we could have things like team deathmatch or FFA deathmatch where we would spawn in chosen spawn locations and we could have a fight and the 1st to 25 kills get's a bonus of say 500 prestige for winning...
i know there is a server that isn't in very much use and a little extra game mode aside from scenario and MV might get people hooked into the game for longer.

1. Events
2. FFS PLZ BRING BACK THE FLEET WARS SERVER!
3. It would be nice if we could get an event staff going again. This would breath so much life back into the game.
Event staff idea wouldn't take much. A staffer with dev-ability, and two or three players who are willing to work on them. Players could submit ideas, and event staff could hammer them out into hosted events.
Yes, I know there is the ability for players to suggest ideas and events. The idea is to have a group dedicated to working on them on often enough that we could have weekly and monthly events, and run them twice a day on those days. That would allow everyone a chance to be in them.
We could run a weekly fleet war ladder event. A weekly ffa. How about in the fleetwars server, a way to have duels in the times when there aren't events, and have that laddered as well.
DS could charge - not a whole lot - to enter these events, thus bringing in a new trickle of money.
How about 250 credits per duel? 100 credits per ship in a fleet war.
Make it no garage. enhancements allowed only from the arena.
See where I am going?
I don't think it would take much, but I really think the benefits would be worth it.

Would be awesome to have events staff i think  It'd be a great way to keep people interested as well. Bit of change from the usual slugging. Which in fairness is a bit different at the moment.

The last FW server was PRES DISABLED. The only "exploit" was when people captured the stupid planet in the middle that should have never been there to begin with, or should have been a gas planet if it was. Beyond that there was nothing at all to exploit.

Intentionally screwing up the planets so people couldn't spawn ring a bell?

They just have to change the FW server so that they can't screw up the planets  I wasn't around back then so I don't know much about it.

We changed the architecture of the server, and how it interacts with the host hardware. There is no spare hardware to run a map like Fleet Wars, as it would most likely lock out an entire core when in use due to the nature of the map itself.
Temporary maps are one thing as the 'removal' of hardware from the MV would only affect it for the period the server would be active. However, perminant scenario-like fixtures would remove the available hardware for the MV to run on for a prolonged period of time, and I personally am not ok with that, as it punishes the majority for a very small minority.
