WarpCraft isn't like your average server. We don't have factions, creative, or any other standard plugin set, nor do we have vanilla gameplay. Instead, we focus on a game which hasn't been implemented on a grand scale - a FTL "clone".
Firstly, everything is persistent - you can pick up the game from where you left off at any time, so the worry of losing a "good save" is non-existent here. Secondly, you can also play the game with friends, or by yourself.
The gameplay itself is similar to FTL: you move through several randomly generated sectors, where you are met by battles, random events, and more. The ships are built of "components": sets of blocks that fit together, such as a engine, lasers, and other common ship parts.
For a further rundown on the technicalities of the plugin, please have a review of http://jselby.net/blog/?p=9.
What do we hope to accomplish? (Accountability)
We are in early stages of development, however, I am a single developer. I have had to build and manage the server, making sure everything works at every point possible. Aside from that, additional team members could help make this dream a reality. By the end of the development period, it is hoped that WarpCraft is a "pick up and play" game that acts and feels like FTL, while still retaining the character and expandability that Minecraft offers. It will be a hard task, but it will be worth it.
Myself? I have worked on many servers, including GTACraft, FRZ, and more. I have been programming for about 6-7 years now, Java for 4, and Bukkit for 2. I'm starting up this project because the current focus seems to just be rehashed editions of factions, or similar, and its about time that something new was thrown into the mix.
What do we need from you?
In order for us to produce a server of this magnitude, I require help from all corners of the internet. If you want to see this happen, we want you! Long story short, we are going to need a team of the following:
A developer or two. You will be mainly working on developing the main plugin, helping to shape its direction.
A builder/build team. Each ship component still needs to built, as well as static places such as spawn. Essentially, making everything look awesome.
General staff members, to help moderate the server (though, much should be automated by the end)
There are several prerequisites that are a requirement:
You must be 13 or over.
You must have sufficient prior experience, and have evidence of prior work.
You must be able to stick with the project for extended periods of time.
You must have Skype.

Position: I would hope to be a sort of cross between builder and dev, I am good with redstone and command blocks, so I could do pretty much anything in vanilla minecraft; ask me and I will have it done

Why do you want to be part of our team? The last server I did this for went down, and I find figuring out how to do stuff with redstone is pretty fun, because you can do pretty much anything if you try hard. But I like working on servers, my reward being people playing with what I build.
