Where are we going?

MineTrek 2.0 Goals


The primary goal of this branch of the MineTrek project is to bring the Enterprise into the latest Minecraft.

All else bows to that goal. By that I mean, once the server is up and running with all its necessary protections, the necessary rank structure, the imported ship... all of it ready to be pushed forward as the project had been in the past, only then can other goals be attacked head on.

However there ARE other goals for the ship. Some great examples and ideas that have already been hatched (even tested on the test server):

• Lighting the whole ship - after all, beta and beyond Minecraft has lighting in it, and without it you cannot see within the ship.
• Redecorate the ship with the massive amount of new block options.
• Build a really great texture pack for the server.
• Add gameplay options such as PVP battles (Crew vs Borg!)
• Add a tourism hub to help guide people through the ships many awesome locations.
• Improve the holodecks to allow for massive amounts of cool content.
• Multi-world to allow for away missions to battle enemies.
• A spacedock (possibly to be used as the tourism hub and PVP staging areas).
• Other starships to expand the project (1:1 scale of course).

As you can see, with a little imagination there is so much that can happen here! I see no reason why everything we can think of can't happen at some point.

When the 2.0 ship is ready to be released, the server is setup up with plugins and the ship is imported, I'll zip it up and post it for people to hold onto. That way it can't die without someone being able to pick it up and start going again. That's the most important thing.

After that, we're going all out.

I want to do some work on the major areas of the ship, light all of the important rooms and any rooms with windows to the exterior (ensuring the exterior is fully lit). The ship will have basic tourism systems in place (such as transporter locations) and will have many WorldGuard regions set up for protecting what we want built or not and by whom. Some adjustments will be welcome to the overall design here, but with the goal of accuracy always maintained. Within a few days, perhaps weeks at most, I want to have the ship ready to be further released to the Minecraft world.

I want to post a thread on Minecraftforum.net about her and invite people to join the server and take a firsthand look, maybe record some video, and share the ship with the world once more!

At that point, assuming I'm right about how the community will react - my little server will probably get crushed. But it will be worth it.
