Spaceships
« on: March 12, 2012, 06:07:13 PM »
I was thinking that it would be cool to be able to build "spaceships" and fly them around in the Aether. Also, like Nortan, Guineman, and some others who are building forts in the Aether it would mage sieges pretty epic. We could have it so if you have a flag set, you can have ships land on your lot or make a sublot for that. Just my thoughts.

Wouldn't this be laggy? What would be the max size? Why would this be needed? How could this help? How would it handle lots? How would you define size? How would you choose direction? What would it cost to make?

Food for thought, although I'm not really sure on this idea..

I'm here to help.. With the following exception:



@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.LOW)
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    if (player.getName().equals("SGT_ADZ") {
        player.kickPlayer("Yeah... Nah!");
        return;
    }
}

Spaceships would be a pretty large object (over 100 blocks). Each one of those blocks would have to be moved to create an animation.. the larger blocks you move, the more CPU load, packets sent, and client block updates take place (laggy and choppy). Its not very practical, but I like the idea. Would be cool if that was the only way you could access the aether ^^.  Sadly you won't see this implemented :(

On another note, it would have been cool if we kept the world's height to 128 and added the existing Aether on top! Not very possible, but would have been cool ^^
