Remove Kiwiships - Crashlander04 - 06-29-2012
I'm speaking for a lot of people when I say this - Kiwiships are horrible. I don't mean to insult the concept, because it's a great addition to the theme of the server, but the functionality just isn't there. It lags, it's slow, and a lot of the time the ship doesn't even hold together.
As well, lately the server has been going through ridiculously game-ruining lag spikes because of them. This can be verified by some mods, as well as a large portion of the current player base.
If the server can't handle this plugin, and it ruins all player experience with the lag spikes, there is no way the few and far between successful kiwiship voyages can balance out the impracticality.
Either the plugin needs to become more efficient in terms of stress on the server, or it should be removed, at least until the server can handle/fix the stress.
The biggest purpose kiwiships serve is to be eye-candy, anyway.

I don't think they should be removed, and I believe we have addressed this a lot already but yeah it does need to be revamped as well.

I say take em out. The spikes are ridiculous, I hate it.

Remove it until it could be fixed?

I love the idea, I really do, but I've seen already that the functionality is lacking.
Dropping the plug-in until it's good to go sounds like the right idea, but I'm unsure.

I suggested a fix for it that yotta believes is possible, but he want's to wait until the official Minecraft mod API is finished. I believe the solution will come soon. For now however, my nation has several important but small kiwiships that don't lag the server at all to great effect. I believe it is important that they stay, but It would be a good idea to limit the size to something the server can handle; from my experience, the max the server can handle would be a little over 100 block kiwiship.

i actually use kiwiships, and not to show power, but to move around,
i agree they lag up the server if they're big, but i use small 40 block ships, and there is no lag, and no complaints.
i think the kiwiships should stay
But maybe bvcxzmn idea should be looked into.

The plugin should stay, but it does need a bit of tweaking. Maybe shave a couple hundred blocks off the max size.

We're keeping kiwi-ships.
Final.

I've used my 1000 some block ship many times without anyone complaining about lag...
