<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Received an email from someone who seems fairly
new. He has some ideas for a new server which sounds similar to
Paradise but on a much larger scale. I know we don't have anywhere
near the number of players needed to support something like this
but </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I told him </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>I would forward his email onto the server developers for
review, so here you go:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi, I used to play Netrek under the name of jamestc on my mum's
computer<BR>At the moment I am using a different computer which can't run Netrek
but I <BR>will play again when I get my new CPU.<BR><BR>Anyway, I just came up
with an idea for a new server<BR>(you may already have something like this, but
I don't know that)<BR><BR>All the current servers are great, one reasonable
sized galaxy where havoc <BR>reigns every night.<BR>But I think that there
should be a server for the people who like <BR>exploration and open
space.<BR>Similar to the regular ones, but on a MUCH larger scale, and with
extras. <BR>Such as clouds of Nebula gas, Black holes, asteroid belts etc. so
its <BR>basically an entire map stretching from one edge of space to the other.
And <BR>instead of just flying from one territory to another randomally, players
<BR>actually exit one galaxy, e.g. the one with all the human planets, fly
<BR>though some space, maybe dodge an asteroid field on the way, and enter a
<BR>different galaxy with the Romulans planets or whatever.<BR><BR>of course
this would mean that this particular server would need the <BR>capacity to hold
a few more players than just 16 split into 2 teams of 8.<BR><BR>Prehaps there
could be about 25 in each galaxy, and all 4 galaxy can be full <BR>at once? that
would be awesome unless im just going over the top... lol.<BR><BR>but compare
this new server to the episodes of star-trek seen on TV, they <BR>would be quite
similar, but with less talking and more fighting :P<BR><BR>Thats it really. Just
saying I thing Netrek is a cool game, and giving you <BR>the idea of this new
server, and pointing out that more spaces for players <BR>would be a good idea.
Prehaps you could make 2 or 3, maybe even 4 servers <BR>like this incase one of
them got full.<BR><BR>hope you take these ideas into consideration, and maybe
even create the <BR>server for
real.<BR><BR>Yours<BR>jamestc<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
