A Timeline of The Celestial Expanse (Colossal Combat)

Early-Mid 2015-2016 -- I (C_Corp2002 Started toying with the idea of a Minecraft Server, but didn't know what it should look
like. (Something Sci-Fi/Space)

Late 2016 -- C_Corp2002, ButtonmashTP (Now: Oshwatt), Millycow, Crazymario5, and MusicalDuck (All IRL friends of C_Corp2002) started playing a Mojang-Hosted Realms SMP Server for fun and hanging out.

Late 2016-Early 2017 -- The first Realm expired. C_Corp2002 wanted something similar to the experiance we
had back with the realm, so C_Corp2002 took it upon themself, and
started learning programming/"Code" and how to use many other programs
and software. C_Corp2002 started a few small test servers to get a feel
for running a Spigot/Bukkit-based Minecraft Server.

Mid 2017-Late 2017 --
Colossal Factions was born out a merger between the original concept of "A cool place to

hangout after school", and a "A place where epic battles and nations can
rise and fall". It eventually picked up a few non-IRL players along the
way. Most notably Gateway_Guardian (Now: Hoshi) who has became a greatly trusted and valued friend to C_Corp2002.

Early 2018-Late 2018 --
Colossal Factions expanded upon the previous concept and grew more into what we can recognize

nowadays; A multi-server network with many Planets in addition to
Buildable, block-based, Movecraft Vehicles. Colossal Combat was born.

2019-Present
Colossal Combat/The Celestial Expanse has grown a lot since 2018, *far too much to write down, But a brief summary of what has been added is as follows:

  • Custom Randomly Generated Planets with Unique Terrain
    • Custom Blocks, Mobs, Weapons and Items (Resource Pack required to see most of them)
    • Movecraft-based Starships and other vehicles.
    •    The First Server to achieve fully autonomous, NPC/AI Controlled Ships
    • *Trade Centers (WIP)
    • *A(n) ever growing Wiki (At long last!)
    • *More reliable code (Phewh!)
    • You?

      


    * Primarily because C_Corp2002 is still actively working on The Celestial Expanse.

    Round O' Fixes...



    The Fall damage animation should no longer play, as there is no fall damage.

    Craft HUD reliably shows between disconnect and rejoining.

    Craft HUD properly shows for crew members & passengers.

    NPC Ships no-longer tick, or update, outside of a
    5000 Block Radius from players.

    Fuel/Energy Usage & Shield regen aboard ships both increased (They're now at the levels they should have been.)

    Custom Autocrafters work with custom recipes, Pipes & Filters are 75-90% working, to my knowledge.

    Damage in the Tutorial Zone/Intro is disabled, as it should have been.


    Upcoming & Recently Released Content...

    Recently Released:

    Overall NPC Pirate Spawns reduced, however there are now permanent Pirate hot-spots that increase the spawn-rate past the previously normal amount.

    The Hot-spots locations are as follows:
    -12000,300,9500 : Salvo
    1750,300,-15750 : Lost Star
    9000,300,-4100 : Solar Scourge
    -8000,300,11000 : Crimson Scar
    -15000,300,15000 : Reaper
    18000,300,-13000 : Kahn
    2500,300,1500 : Cataclysms Wrath
    4750,300,-11500 : Cataclysms Wrath
    (All within InterstellarVoid)

    And affect the surrounding
    5000 Block Radius


    Upcoming:

    The first three, of many, Ship Upgrade Modules, seen above; now available at Trade Sectors.
    (I am taking
    #⁠server-feedback suggestions for Consumable Upgrade Modules)

    A new (opt-in) war system is in the works. Slowly... more details to come.



    If you made it this far, have a smiley face! =D


    Man time flies by, it was the start of the school year in 2015~16, when I started on a journey.
    I didn't know where it'd lead me, nor what it would take, but I started anyways.

    Fast forwards 9+ years later, I'm still marching, kicking and clawing, my way onward.
    With a general goal in mind; to make the most intricate and technically impressive Server that this game has ever seen.

    The time nears, it is about time to start our engines, and plunge even further into the void, where none have ever gone.

    It hasn't been easy, but my good friends have made it possible to get this far, now I'm looking for more people to contribute to this mega-projects continuation.

    My server, my passion project, my work of art...
    The Celestial Expanse, turns 10 years old in 2025; Late August / Early September.

    Mark your Calendars.

    Heartfelt thank you, C_Corp2002
