Ok, here is the official update and we are now in Phase 2...
Zeal is in as the spawn but we have a lot of work to do to transform it from castle to mothership..
Clear all the old signs, redstone, water, lava, rails, etc all the details. I want a basic shell that we can work from to build out a proper mothership as the spawn.
We will need the following areas built out as part of the newbie introduction and progression into the HeroTEK world as well as a common area for trade and other normal spawn functions...
Ship Bridge
Engineering Bay
Engine Core
Cargo Bays
Medical / Sick Bay / Science Lab
Brig
Holodeck
Mess Hall / Dining Hall
Crew Quarters
Docking bays / Shuttle Bays / Hangars
Communications Deck
Hydroponics / Food sources
Defenses / Offenses
Transporter room
Sensor Arrays
Computers throughout
Power Conduits
AirLocks
Escape Pods
And anything else that would be fitting a TEK mothership.
Think Tek, use things specifically from the Tekkit mod pack:
All the Cover blocks, Corner Blocks, Strip Blocks, etc.
Various colored wires and cables
Computer Monitor Displays (We need Computer Craft Experts to help with simple display programs)
Tubing (Redpower Pneumatics work well)
Multi colored Lamps
Fuel Tanks
Solar Arrays
Force Fields
Things that flash or blink..
Metal posts
Wireless Redstone transmitters / receivers
Iron Blocks
Concrete blocks
Reinforced blocks and doors and glass
ALL of it, anything we can use to flesh out the Spawn other than vanilla. Of course if it would make sense to use vanilla blocks then use it but try for Tek instead..
Don't start building straight away, lets clean down Zeal and get it to a base shell to build off. I will be out of town for the next couple days... If you have been following my life, my mom died in August and Monday is her birthday, so I'm headed to see my dad and bro/sis for the weekend to celebrate her birthday and remember the good times.. I will be back late Tuesday / Wednesday.. I will have minimal internet connection this weekend, probably only to check email/forums.
We also need to come up with some back story for HeroTEK.. I'm thinking a Colonization ship cast into the future from HeroCraft.. HeroTEK 3000 or something similar... or HeroCraft is destroyed by wars and 3000 years later a ship returns to try and rebuild.. what ever.. details at this point are not the point just get the idea juices flowing...
Don't bother building ANYthing except SPAWN.. once it's perfected i will save the schematic and wipe the map again, in fact this may not be the final map so lets just focus on spawn.. If you need OP to build just ask everyone on the test/build teams should have OP. Post questions here if you need my assistance.
Thanks!!
