Hello everyone! 

 

I've had this idea in my head for a while now, and I figured now would be a good as time as any to share it with everyone!   I'll just cut to the chase...  Seeing all these airships, submarines, boats, ships, and naval things got me to thinking... why not celebrate these in classic style with a week (or a couple weeks) long celebration? 

We could call it "Fleet Week!"

It would be a great way for those of us who construct ships, boats, airships, and stuff to really connect, meet one another, and just hang out and celebrate these awesome constructs.  And for people who havent built ships, or dont know how, or want to learn, it would be a fantastic way for them to see how they look up close and tour these amazing vessels!

I know it would take a lot of work and effort, but I think the payoff would be AMAZING. 

 

Here's my proposal:

1) We would need a server to host the event.  Prefereably a dedicated server with little to no lag and enough space for the participants to place their ships.  We could optionally make Docks for each of the ships.  Also, the server should be able to support the importing of .schematic files.  (For those who want to upload their ships, just send the host their files!)

2) A registry for those participating (shipbuilders and visitors).   This can be further broken down into some sub-ideas:   A) Each participant chooses 1 ship (to make it fair) that they own to show off in the show.  OR, B) Each participant who signs on as a builder can actually BUILD a ship specifically for the show, during the show! 

3) Some sort of set up so that those with shadier intentions (like griefers) couldnt come along and destroy other people's hard work.

4) Maybe, as an additional option, have a panel of judges to have a friendly contest for best in class:  Ship, Submarine, Airship, Boat. 

 

Like I said before, I know it would be a lot of work to put together, but something like this could maybe take place once a year and be a PMC Community organized Event. 

Just thought I'd share it as an idea!

Until next submission, my friends, Keep on Building!

- Rova

ihave a normal server and the own \er would give us  an entire world to work on this if you want? its lumengaming.com:1337      and if its not up (were still updating to 1.0.0) but we have our programmer on it we will be up within the next few days. and this server has no greifers, never resets, and everyone is always freindly. and tonsss of people can be on at the same time. so i would really reccomend this server. we can even get it flat. you find a good map and we can import it for our ship building ground. orrr we could just do flat bedrock. we need to keep in concact. if its up ill pm you tomorrow and comment on this. need anymore info, let me know! :D. sorry for the errors im tired

It's all good, Im glad to see people are willing to come together for a community type event!  Maybe we can work something out.   There's a couple other offers too.  But yes, something with the ability for lots of people to log in and tour the ships would be great!

Hahaha, i think the player cap is 80 and the owner owns a business of minecraft servers so player caps he makes and lowers at his will XD.... he could even lend out a server temporally if i ask nicely hahaha. we could even upload some other ships. and theyres always people wanting to build here XD.

That's fantastic, actually.  The ability for shipbuilders to import their ships for the show is great!  Sounds like this server would be great for hosting an event like this

hahaha, ill call the owner up later and we will talk about it. the only problem currently is he's currently in the process of going to 1.0.0 and it may take awhile to completly finish and his friend make bukkit for this version. so about 2 days hopefully. im sure we could easily work something out. http://www.planetminecraft.com/member/pangamma2/?p=2 thats his page (i doubt it would be helpful to you though) we can have a group chat on skype later i suppose.

Cool.   I figured we could call it something like PMC Fleet Show, or PMC Fleet Week Server... something easy to remember.  

I have one more night of work and then we can really get this thing organized

nice! and we just updated the server to 1.0 :D. i posted the server too. and we went through all our current maps so we have more than enough space for a temporary world like that. but if we do this we have to advertise the server with it and thats the only thing and were good :D

Great idea!


It's always nice to see ideas that encourage people in Planet Minecraft to come together as a community. I for one can't build ships to save my life, but I think this is a brilliant idea!

Hmm, great idea! I'm going to start hosting a new server very soon, and I might be interested in hosting this event, in addition to my regular server. However, I will probably have only a 512mb ram server, although it will be dedicated. If you want to try and work something out, this would benefit us both (giving my server a great start on PMC and getting you your event). PM me of you are interested. +1

Hmm, sorry for the late response. I've been away from PMC, and my plans to get my server hosted have been delayed. >.> I'm still interested in hosting an event like this, or having my server run events in the future, so if you are interested in coordinating events on my server (when I finally manage to get it hosted) just send me a PM or reply on here. =D
