New Server in Phase III of testing

The IP for direct connect is:

IP Address Is: The IP for direct connect is:

99.141.172.45

Check back here if you don't see the 24/7 server @ this IP, as I can and do change my IP. Port will stay 2302
I do use the Global Server Workaround, so if you have that you should see us on the Global list.

ALL INFO BELOW IS OBSOLETE, WE ARE NOW RUNNING EVOLUTIONS 1.28

At this stage we are running my Big Apple Server-side mod:

1. Big Apple Mod This is a pure Stock server, with one tiny change: It's just NY.
That's right, NY and nothing but NY, a pure Stock environment. Anyone can join and have a blast old-school style.
(By old school I mean FL demo days... my what fond memories....)

NOTICE: All gates and holes out of NY are locked to players and NPCs. That is by design. If the server does crash, IFSO will start it up again in a minute or two. Big Apple mod (NY) will remain the new player system, but will expand in purpose to also be an RP environment. I will post more about that soon, in Phase 3.

Now begins Phase 2 of the Server, which is to open the Omicrons!
.
.
.

For those who want to duel in Gamma, please do the following:

1. Start a new character with the name you prefer.

2. If you don't like your default [Liberty Navy] tag, do something about it in NY.

3. Post your character name here in the New Members Area.

What happens next:

1. I will teleport you to Freeport 9.

2. I will give you a cool THREE million credits.

3. I will fix your rep with Corsairs.

The rest is up to you...

NOTE:

ONLY Omicrons Alpha, Gamma, Theta, and Beta are open. (plus the Unknowns)

DO NOT LEAVE THE OMICRONS!

The four systems that lead to the rest of Sirius are disabled. These are Tau 37, Sigma 19, Sigma 17 and Omega 41

Attempting to enter holes to these 4 systems will kick you.

Your default Liberty Navy tag is your own job to fix. I can't do anything about that.
Your reputation with all factions other than Corsairs must likewise be fixed in NY. (Like Outcasts...)

Well, I must say...

I'm completely underwhelmed by the amount of requests for basically a free ticket to an Eagle.

I'm converting the server to Evolutions 1.28 mod this weekend.

It's the mod I joined up with the admin team to run, so it's equally a part of the Lansdale legacy, only it's also a mod I would play by myself even if no one else joined. There's only one other Evolutions server and it's across the pond, so at least we will provide unique content for USA players. The mod is also publicly available on Starport:

Well, the Evo server has been up for three weeks and the number of players (other than me) is... one. That's right, one player that has 5 minutes on the clock. Quite a bit less action than I thought. Not a complete waste of time however, at least the past month has proven the server can handle a fairly large mod with no crash. I've been able to play from remote locations and I see no lag or hesitations. I will begin search for maybe a new mod to put on, perhaps one more modern. In the meantime, I will continue with Evo, as I play on it and I enjoy it, at least. All I can say for sure at this point is... it won't be Disco.

I find no mod better than Evolutions, so the mod stays put for now. I will keep my eyes open for new released mods that will draw a crowd of curious players, and if one is worthy and public so that I can host it, I will give it a shot.

Meanwhile, I need to advertise the server. We used to do that on TLR but TLR is gone and the-starport.net has taken their place. I will post there to announce the server.
