Idea # 1: We have two servers, one that is the newer c2 server, and another that is just c1, a "nostalgia" server. These two servers would be totally seperate, though people could decide which server their character was on, eg. when the switch was made, you coul deecide to change your account to a c1 account or a c2 account.
Idea # 2: Make c2 have a c1 mode, that is almost the same as c2, just in the c2 client, and on the c2 server.
Idea # 3: Similar to idea # 2: make the server able to work with both clients.
Idea #4: Revert back to c1 and just generally improve things there (this is not going to happen since you guys put so much effort into c2)


Also, as is, ss is rather grindy. Make dgs drop ~3x the amount of money, and make the dgs drop good loot, plus around df 70+ make dgs drop ruin items at low-ish rates.

I understand that many of these ideas would be quite complicated, especially 1 & 4, but at least CONSIDER them, ss needs new players, and c2 may bring that, but it atleast needs to be able to keep its old players!

1/3/4 not gonna happen.

2 is kind of possible, except you'll be playing with paper-thin ships(literally, 1 "poly", which they won't even be polygons; they'll just be a .png viewed from above). Not to mention it will literally look like shit if you're playing with a piece of paper for a ship, and you're flying next to everything else in 3D.

Some thread somewhere hit the nail on the head; some people will always hate change. Even when the change is catered to their cries, they'll find something else to bitch about.

I don't see why idea 2 would be bad, as long as all objects were 2D, and that stupid spaceship banking code was disabled. I'd love to see a mode meant to recreate the simplicity of C1, without massive waves of particle spam whenever you fire a weapon. C2 just seems rather overdone, like a girl wearing makeup half an inch thick. C2 focused too hard on trying to compete graphically with large-scale modern games. Right now, it's got none of the simplicity of C1, and none of the beauty of the games with million-dollar budgets.

The way SS is loosing paying customers Jeff won't be able to afford a single server ... even if its a paper plate.

I'd be careful saying stuff like this in every thread like you have been. There's a new policy, and you will get a forum ban for non-constructive comments.

agreed , this non stop bashing of c2 is getting pathetic..

either war them or fuck off

The fact that you don't like the message doesn't change the fact that SS is dieing. (Making threats like this only makes you out to be a forum Brown Shirt. If you don't understand the meaning then I suggest doing a little research re Germany in the '30s & '40s.)

You can bash all you want, I can't do anything to stop you. However, a SUGGESTIONS forum is not the place to do it and will result in a nice forum ban.

OT: Idea 2 is kind of vague, what parts would you change for "C1 Mode"? The only thing is the UI and ships... even that seems pointless.

'Piece of paper next to everything else in 3D'

This amuses me greatly xD

But I think this idea is brilliant and has already been suggested with DevMins response. Being able to replace images in C2 with C1 counterparts is the way forwards !!

He just called you a nazi, Biggee! Now we can war him

Illiterate child. You two have completely ruined this thread.

1. (Historical Terms) (in Nazi Germany) a storm trooper
2. a member of any fascist party or group

Nice... but oh so wrong! The Brown Shirts were the assassins that removed almost all of Hitler's opposition.

it would be interesting to carry out idea #2 and 5 years down the track take a compulsory SS poll to find out how many people use which server.
