this sounds really good ive been looking for a server like this for ages i wouldnt mind signing up i have had a bit of experience with bukkit myself as i run a private server and movecraft is one of my favourite mods also get aimcannon when it updates for,well cannons and chaircraft as its just adds some immersions to the game also replace NPCtrader with citizens when it updates as its a whole lot better and has more features and can i have some of england as thats were i live if you accept me?
EDIT: Maybe you could have something like this for a application form
IGN:
Faction/country:
age(maybe,some people might not want to disclose age)
First off ty for taking the time to read it all =D
I looked up the plugins you suggested. The Chaircraft would be one of the "RP Filler" plugins we could put in down the road AFTER the server is converted over. Also I have heard of Aimcannon, I thought Movecraft replaced it though. After you suggested it I did go back and look it up and see it is different. I will pass it on to the team and give it a test run either tonight, or sometime this weekend to see how it works out.
As for Citizens I have looked at it before, but only gave it a glance. I do like the idea of it alot after giving it a read through. Once the world is finished with edits and we start moving over I will def give this a test run vs npc trader and see how they perform via server stress and ease of use.
Lastly since we are still in Dev / Concept Mode.... So other than Admins who are working on the project I wont be allowing any land claims. Once everything is finished and we open this to the public that may change. Im not too keen on people just claiming land without doing it in game first.
However you are in luck seeing as London is currently connect to the World Portal/Stargate network. So depending on where we place the spawn, you wouldnt have too far to walk to start construction.
And yes with Movecraft you can create your own airships which allow you to go every compass direction as well as up and down. You can also type in a command to turn the ship to face a certain direction. EX: If your ship is pointing North and you typed "/airship turn left" it would now face towards the West. However this only turns the ships position not your own. So if you are standing in the wrong spot, you could end up falling off your ship when it turns. So this is best done before leaving the air dock / city. Now there is a few other "hitches" to this. One, is that all Airships must be constructed of atleast 60% wool. This is to represent the "balloon / air bladder" This makes them very flammable.
As for signing up... We are willing to take on a few people prior to launch to help with building and setting up / testing out the bugs. Though we will be stricter with who we let in prior to start than those who apply to just play. Seeing as only admins are currently using the server at the moment. One major requirement is getting on Ventrilo. It makes life so much easier talking through headsets while trying to set things up than having to type in game...
Once our Server Owner signs in Ill ask him for a complete list of what is needed to get people signed up before hand.
I am the Lead Admin for this project and can pretty much run it however I wish since he has given me the green light for this. What is comes down to is, he pays the bill for the server. I still wish to defer to him when it comes to who can be added for Admin / Ops prior to start. After all we do have a few Admins who are building their own projects and I just want to make sure there is no conflicts down the line.
Intresting earth map, maybe have starting zones for different groups like how people predict native americans migrated from asia things like that i say would really bring it almost a human like aspect of devolping technology for long term travel and eventually do what us humans did and finally reach contact with other groups of people, and eventually become what it is today a very connected planet. Also very good, organized idea i like it very, very much.
Edit: I was thinking and say the american rocky mountains would they be like that on the earth map? Or would it be just the shape of continents?
This sounds cool i would like to play on this server when it is up,since there is no guidelines for the application i will edit the post with what i left out.
hello , im down to help build or do whatever is needed on this server. im usually on alot, so if u think u need some more help building give me a holler, im cool and will do anything asked of me :smile.gif: lol send me a pm if u need me,

Already have an update of sorts.
After adding the link to the map to help everyone understand what we will be using, We realized that our current map may be out of date.
We are currently uploading the most recent map salexp is offering in hopes of fixing Antarctica as well as little things such as added rivers and ocean topography.
I have a habit of monologuing on forums so I'll do my best to keep this short.
I'm new to Minecraft but I learn fast, and I'm already kind of bored with single player, so I thought I'd give multiplayer a try. As it is, I have never been on a multiplayer server much less have I been on one with mods that let you make flying machines :blink.gif:
But like I said, I learn fast, and I like this idea, so I'd like to learn with you guys because you seem like my kind of group. Just so you know I am below the age minimum but only by one year, I'm 15. However, I don't think that should hinder me because I grew up fast for some reason and now I can switch somewhat easily between the mind of a fifteen year old and the mind of someone much older.
I just realized I'm starting to monologue so I'll try to wrap it up. I'd like to join you guys, I'm a thinker, not a builder, and I understand how circuits work and while I haven't had much practice with redstone I think I can be of some use in that area. I also like the idea of airships and war machines and possibly blowing things up. So please consider my application. Thank you for your time.
Oh,s wells I'm only 12 dammit. That means I can't join right?
Also eries did you read my idea on battles in the other thread?

Thank you all for the replies.
Atm, we are working on the App. Process and should have it up later today - tomorrow. This should help out with all of those wanting to help or sign up to play once we start. Also as it looks, we would only need maybe 1-2 people to help with builds / bug testing for now. There is not much to build other than finishing the spawn area. Mainly because we want to leave the map as untouched as possible until it goes live for play.
A week or so before we open it to the public to join, We will be looking for 10 players to help bug test and otherwise try to abuse as much as they can to help us ensure it will not happen in game.
I tested out the new Earth map last night and began putting up portals around the world.
We have Los Angeles, Antarctica, Cuba, Washington DC, London, Berlin, Moscow, Cairo, Mumbai, Beijing, Tokyo, and Sydney marked via Portals. I only have South America and Africa left to link and we should be good for now. You do not have to use real city names for your towns. Once players can figure out their locations, we have no problem renaming portals to the new city / region names.
We will be allowing players to use only Airships, Boats, Cars, Ships, and Submarines for movecraft vehicles. UFO, AirCRAFT, and bombers will be limited to Admins only. If unsure about how to use Movecraft, just click on the links in the OP and read up about it or just watch the video. It is not required to use, though It will allow you to move faster on the map while staying within the rules. Plus it allows cannons / dispensers to be moved with you instead of having to construct them on the go.
Game choice is pretty much set guys.
This is an open world Sandbox PVP. You are only safe within the spawn or Capitals. You can only get Capitals for having a set amount of active players in your faction, nation, or which ever you wish to call yourselves. You can have players who only wish to be creative builders. That is perfectly fine. Though a nation of peace lovers may find themselves without a home if they can not defend their lands from invaders.
City protection means only the players of that Faction / admins can add or remove blocks from within their city walls. You do not have to hide you cities because of this. We would prefer you to instead Build massive empires showing off your glory and achievements.
Just as a reminder. Even though your city is protected... This does not mean your chests will be. Players can still enter your city and look around / steal. They just will not be able to destroy. People who put thought to how to correctly build their capitals should not have many issues compared to those who just slap up a few buildings and let it go.
The reason for giving you safe zones is mainly due to this is a limited resource map. You will have to fight for control of resources. Much like how we plan on putting a few LARGE mob grinders out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which means you will have to located them. The Grinder/s will be safe from being destroyed how ever players sitting there will be open for attack. We expect to have a few battles for control of these facilities.
When it comes down to rule enforcement. We take a very simple view.
If you break a rule, you will not be the only person to be punished. Your Faction will could also feel the wrath of the "world police" This should force players to choose their friends wisely and help weed out the players who are just here to cause trouble. This game is not designed for solitary players. For one you will not have the protection of your city. Anyone caught using the Spawn for protection after a week will be ejected from the game or stripped of items. We do not want Carebear hippies wishing for world peace.
If you suspect someone of cheating, DO NOT begin to flame in game. Instead send a tell to myself or another Admin and or take Screen shots and video records of what is happening. Every player will be treated the same in regards to the rules. It will not matter if they donated 100 dollars or 10 cents. Rules are rules. The only players exempt from the rules will be Admins. Even then they still must answer to me, just as I must answer to the server owner.
As for Admin support, I will be around pretty much everyday for roughly 10-15 hours. I am lucky enough to be able to enjoy minecraft at work and at home. You can expect me to pop in on players now and again to see what is being done to ensure fair play. At this current time I am also the only admin who will be able to offer world events for prizes. Once everything is stabilized and the game begins to run itself this may change.
Every Month I will head out to each Capital with a few admins to review the cities and hand out rewards for City construction, Protection, Fleet Size, etc etc... Prizes can be anything from bonus in-game cash, items, vehicles, larger land size, or pre-built farm. (Animal, Mob, Food)
Well thats it for now... Keep those ideas flowing and feel free to comment on anything you think will be helpful or you see would ruin game play.
Well, for those who are waiting how about this: Verolin Trilogy Here you can post ideas for it, apply to help, or even just browse for updates and such. And Eries hope you dont mind i put this in here, just trying to statisfy the people here and the (assuming bored) old aerogale players.
Hey guys, I might as well get in on this too! I dont want to see the spirit of Aerogale die :/
Also, Hey Eries, I have a map I was working on for Aerogale last week, before it died, and if you want it, you can check it out and see if you want to use it.

@Jeffers800
That happened to me twice when trying to retrieve my stolen ship. It's pretty annoying, but I think it's a lag issue.

Eries i will do bug testing for you I'm experienced :biggrin.gif:
Hey Guys.
I just want to inform everyone that this is not a remake of Aerogale. Yes it is similar since it will use Movecraft, but Aerogale was strictly Airships pvp where as this is Airships, subs, boats, ships and cars/tanks due to the sheer size of our new map. So other than airships there will be nothing in common.
Also due to all of the work we are putting into this and due to the issues we found with the last game (IE: players hacking, not following the rules and grieffing) We will be going through strenuous application process. We can promise to look at each app individually. However we can not guarantee everyone will be accepted.
As stated before this is not currently a recruitment thread. We are looking for input on what we are working on plus looking for ideas / plugins we should explore while setting this up. I do appreciate everyone wanting to join, but we are still looking at late June, early July before setting everything up for open recruitment.
As a born and bred Londoner, I will gladly join you :smile.gif:
Also, Eries: I did find a quite annoying bug directly related to Movecraft, when in the old Aerogale server. It is when you are travelling in one direction for a prolonged period of time something glitches, or lags perhaps, and you fall out of your airship because it moves and you don't. I'm not sure if this is just a lag issue or is actually a bug with Movecraft itself. Was wondering if this happened to anyone else?
The main issue We found was players holding right click down instead of just clicking right click. This causes the plugin to glitch out.
Also if you are currently in the UK it could tech be due to serverlag as well since our server is located in the US specifically Texas.
Any posts added to this thread will most likely not be read by an admin on our server.
OUR new thread is located at.

I think it would be easier to just add in a link about the map itself.

No worries, we are about to start importing everything to the new map today. So Look for us to be needing test subjects in a week or so.
