[ENHANCE] Artron Energy Zones

[micmou]

Places where a tardis has to land after it is depleted

Player created versions must be refilled with energy from Artron crystals or form other mods using a converter.

Admin created versions have the option of being limited or unlimited and can have a blacklist or whitelist to allow certain players, allows for the creation of factions and promotes coming to certain areas.

Tardis Boneyard - (Optional) admin created area where players are allowed to create tardises no other place

Exile Zone - A zone where players who are exiled may fly. Similar to doctor 3 and his time on earth.

I do like the idea; I'm having problems trying to think of a feasible system which doesn't immediately render the lab dangerous to use or result in the possibility of causing your TARDIS to become stranded because you ran out of energy.

Player made energy sources are a probably not, but I won't rule out the possibility of Torchwoodesque rift manipulation (i.e. opening the rift to let more energy through at the cost of RF)

I may make it so it regens slowly, up the costs of flight a bit and refueling at a rift is much much faster.

Limited/Unlimited isn't too bad an idea, but it'd probably end up being Regens slowly/Unlimited. Blacklists/whitelists is a definitely not for now, because it's too awkward and rigid.

TARDIS Boneyard is a probably not; it doesn't really serve much purpose other than meaning you have to

Exile zone is hard to implement, because it'd mean validating all the possible controls and annoying stuff like that which would make the flight code more annoying than it already is.

Okay and the tardis boneyard could be integrated into a themed server. Boneyard isnt the right name either more like creation zone but yeah I understand.

Something like http://www.whoniverse.net/tardis/shipyard I imagine

[micmou]

Yes but much less complex or if you would like

I could explain the process for you to include this would make it more balanced and allow Admins to control the process :D

I really like the idea of a Cardiff in Minecraft you need (or want) to fly to to charge your tardis (faster). but how are players supposed to find it? simply making it the spawn point or specific coordinates that work in every savegame sounds far too easy and static. but if there's an algorythm spawning those energy zones we need to have any kind of detector for it. That detector should require you to be at least a little experienced. simply crafting an energy cell with some chronosteel and/or darlekanium (was that the name? something like that i think) doesn't seem to be challenging enough. since it's working similar to a compass it may contain one in crafting recipe. maybe thrown into a lab, together with an energy cell to "recalibrate" it to another stream of energy? and if its done it would at first work as a Tardis detector since its pointing to the Energy the Tardis is running with. finally, if one managed to find one of these sources, he should be rewarded for it. in programming terms: there should be one file with coordinates that works for every dimension so it doesn't matter in what dim you are, if you are at the correct coordinates you are at a rift (because we're talking about a rift in time and space, arent we?)

Well I guess something like @Soyaro666 Specified would be cool but no I was referring to like a gas station. Also I was making a suggestion to lock it down to a manufacturing area.

btw @Soyaro666 What you are thinking of are called huon particle fields and I imagine a similar system could be used more like aura nodes for thaumcraft nodes and implemented with a greater rarity.
