Here is an idea I had for a spacey-themed PVP pack where the player is set off at a rather high level technologically; They will start with a developed base which they can use to help progress further into mods, or go straight onto the offensive and try attacking other team's bases. In my experience, late-game portions of mods don't always receive the attention they deserve, as before they are reached, you get bored of the pack, your server gets corrupted, etc.

My aim for this pack is to make a deep space battleground - Think a bit of Space Engineers, Galacticraft & Trident, mixed into a PVP game in modded minecraft. Each team starts with a highly developed base, including high amounts of protection. As players progress through mods, base's security measures become slowly redundant due to better offensive technology - forcing teams to work to protect their base - Or lose it.

The game will take place in an empty space world, such as a galacticraft space station world would be if you removed all the blocks. The map would be filled with asteroids with resources, and players would have jetpacks from the start to help with space travel. Mods like archimedes ships would be used to allow teams to create small movable spacecraft for transporting cargo. In the centre of the map would most likely be some areas with higher amounts of resources, which players would have to fight over. Teams would each start the game with a space station base, close to spawn, and could have the possibility of finding NPC stations which they can trade with or destroy.

I am looking for two things in making this post: firstly, feedback: Whether this is a good idea, suggestions, criticisms, you get the point. Secondly, I would like someone experienced in modpack/map development to help me on this project. If you think you'd be interested, please do leave your skype details & I'll be in touch (If you don't want to leave your details publicly, add me on skype as electrifeye). If you'd like to see some of my previous work, you can view it here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/1-7-10-the-entanglement-matrix-jampacked-ii-mod-ctm.94869/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More info - Mods I'm looking at are galacticraft, matter overdrive, warp drive, along with of course your standard set of tech mods (will be decided based on the core mods of the pack). Mod suggestions are of course, completely welcome.

If you really want a Space Engineer like environment, StarMiner is a good place to look.

Or you cam yanno just play space engineers. They actually have a basic scenario editor that allows you set victory conditions. You can set an antenna to be like a nexus and set it so if that block is destroyed your team loses.
Then again I see it as being a race to build a gravrail torpedo gun. Damn those things are devastating.
Lol now I want to replcate the Face 2 map from UT.

That actually looks a really cool mod I hadn't seen before. I'll have a look at it, though I can't tell from the google translate if they give modpack permissions.

You could do, but I want it to be FTB, just taking inspiration from things such as SE & trident. I don't want to just recreate a game that's already been done, SE was just the first game that came to my head when I thought of the concept. I'll update the OP to make it a bit more obvious what I mean.

I think this is a wonderful idea, I'm a little busy with other projects at the moment so I can't offer any help but I do think this is a pretty interesting idea. You've definitely got my support haha

Great! I've gotten a little tied down with other projects for the next month or so, but once that's done I plan to return & make this project a reality. I'm still looking for help in the meantime. My other projects are using many of the same mods as this will so I'll be able to jump right into development when I get to that point, at this time I'll make a new thread.
