KiwiShips are status symbols.
RE: kiwiships - doggypwn - 06-13-2012
They're more or less there to make people look up and go "Cool."
I mean yes, you could in theory have a practical use for them, but not by much. They're half decent in war, and that's close to the only thing they're used for aside from storing all your garbage in the sky.

They would definitely be good in war, but if we did bomb one or two of three things could happen
1) the village is unprotected, and its griefed
2) the place is leveled, and the server wont look beutiful (also a crime, but i can see the reason why, being on a few other servers, i saw the ground riddled with holes, it was terrible)
3) The place is block protected, and you kill them, then they respawn in the vicinity, and calmly walk twenty blocks to their death point.
They can however lift people over walls if he defe3nders shut gates.
Maybe yotta can change tnt from kiwiships so it only does damage, not explosions, dunno

If you're bombing an official town then it only does damage, why change the kiwiships' game mechanics to make something that could be *gasp* useful for once no longer function?

um, i dont believe you read my post
, it would have the exact same result, the town would respawn even with an explosion, and without one, it does the same damage, but, without explosions, kiwiships could be used more
RE: kiwiships - bvcxzmn - 06-14-2012
I Know of a plugin called creeper heal that I think would be really good for this server. Basically, it repairs TNT, creeper, enderman, enderdragon, and fire damage over time. A crater will still be formed when there is an explosion, and you can walk through it (for example if you used TNT for breaching a wall), but the crater will be repaired block by block until it is as if nothing had ever happened. Everything is configurable, from if you only want one of the things to be repaired (for example, only TNT and nothing else) or how long you want the full repair to take. I think it would be a really good addition to the server. I have it installed on my personal server, and I think it is awesome.
I have already told Geckosquid about it and he said he was going to talk to yotta about it, but I think this conversation about Kiwiship bombers is a perfect example of where this plugin would be invaluble. The link to the plugin is here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/creeperheal-nitnelave/

Wait, you think that TNT fired at towns hurts the blocks? This is what I'm getting here, but in that case, you're just being silly. If you're talking about actual flesh damage, then you're insane.

no, i understand what your saying, but i dont see why your arguing, its just the main point all over again, and btw yes, thank you, i am insane
<-- yep, insane XDRE: kiwiships - asdfasdflkjty911 - 06-14-2012
For one: The admins have been hinting that when you start war, TNT will be allowed and will be able to go off in a once protected area. Im not sure if it turns everything off during war so you can say break dirt in front of someones door to get inside their house (which with protection you could not do obviously) or if it only lets TNT damage blocks like they normaly would in an unprotected area. Now this is only something I've picked up, being part of nations envolved in a lot of war and knowing the... one of the admins well.
Anywho, maybe you guys could change one thing to make them go A BIT faster, give us something to chew on.
You could make a golden engine, a gold block under the furnace instead of iron. This doing 3x faster, same time per coal, same everything, just a bit faster. I doubt this would lag the server that much, and atleast would sort of shut up these "my ship is too slow
" posts...
RE: kiwiships - bvcxzmn - 06-14-2012
I wonder, is the kiwiship plugin available for download anywhere? I want to test out some of the physics of a kiwiship.
