Should there be more unique ships?

[Ninefour]

I am all for the unique ships. They should be made easier to get too. Of course not any crappy design and storyless ships, but those with an effort put into the story of the ship and the modelling as well as fully ready to be put in-game and properly finished-off. Not sure if there is a limit for the ship files, but it would be great if anyone could have a chance to get a personal ship as long as it doesn't affect the game or server well-being.

I like the unique ships - haven't seen too may but makes me appreciate them more. Personally speaking I would be more likely to join more official factions to try to work my way up to a unique flagship.

I'm in favour of adding more unique ships, but they will have to be vetted by admins to prevent bame-breaking Mary Sues from getting through.
One idea that could come from this is having unique ships as donation rewards- i.e. donate money, get your ship added to the mod. So, if I donate, say, £25, I could request a bright pink LABC called the Penetrator. If I donated £250, I could request a wholly unique ship with its own model, texture, and stats, and possible a rumor or two referencing it.

My history in the admin voting and discussion has always tied into my desire to either open all ships and IDs to the public or delete those which we don't. I don't even want SRPs anymore, I just want what we have to be open and keep working with the tech nerf system. I been chipping at it slowly and today we got more ships and IDs open to the public then I think any other time in Disco. A few pocket islands of resistance.

Just another poll out of curiosity.

By unique I mean more ships which are only given out to one player at the time. Like the Persephone, Satsuma Tundra and Necrosis.

There exist so many cool models (by jinx for example) which could be used for this purpose. Other player who couldn't fly them wouldn't have any harm, right?

Also, if this:

... would be an unique ship - to whom would you give it?

I'd give it to W.F.Cody. He'd be the only person I could think of who really deserves it.

Yes, give it to the man who'd buy all the code names using his five alts and then sell them back to us at a higher price. he totally deserves an awesome yacht for that.

Ever since I joined, I have seen a unique ship once, the Necrosis. And it happened 3 years ago, it also lasted for 10 seconds only because everyone wanted and fought for a blue one like it was some sort of pixelated drug.

I'd remove them entirely from the game, or make them open to the public but ridculously expensive.

Appologies for the double post, but I just thought of this:

Dollars to doughnuts says if I SRP'd a Raven Claw with four Black Widows and four Suntigers along with a terrorist ID, I'd probably not get it because I didn't spend damn near every day of my Disco career writing every little mundane trait and story of the character in question. Or because a lot of the admins nowadays would go, "Who the hell are you?"

Because I was too busy playing the game and making an impact within the actual mod itself. I felt like I had breathed a little bit of life into the XA. I had single handedly raised the Phantoms' active time to tolerable levels. I didn't just lolengage all that I saw and play the typical, "TRADER MUAHAHAHAAH" *Pew* that most had seen of the Phantoms. I actually incorporated rationality and an agenda into what everyone saw as the most abused ID of them all.

Now if I did request a special fighter, ID, and guns to boot, would anyone be willing to do the work for that? Would someone take the time to try and work with me to see how this works out and whether or not it will make it into a mod that updates every three years?

Jinx is a modeler. Zelot was a dev. PSIBorg was an OLD member. These were special circumstances that people can't seem to see through. And I'm sorry, Narcotic, but you getting the Necrosis was cheese. Nothing against you, but that ship and the RP you submitted for it, although lengthy, was an import and it just looks fishy to see it given under those circumstances when we tried the same thing and were slapped into the damn dirt.

I see favoritism in all of these. And it'll be hard to make me see otherwise when you compare names to what they get and how they get them.

Narcotic tricked us all. What he meant was "Should there be more than one of each unique ship?"
