Nevermind,
Optimize each fleet for epic battles around contested stars.
Create the perfect combinations from dozens of unique ships per civilization.
Customize your ships with modules, armament, engines and special mods.

This game looks awesome! I know im probably the only one here that played Star Ruler but it looks like this is some kind of update to his game, where its just endlessly customizable. In Star Ruler you could literally build your own starships (its an RTS) and it was just endless options, if this game has the same im totally getting it!
I mean look at the ship in the trailer at 0:42.. there's got to be endless customization

This all sounds good. When we get a permanent minecraft server I'll help out.
Well this might be a seperate sever owned by me, I have no control over how the new one will be or what kind of plugins it will have. I have looked into funding one. I'm still debating this, also the reason why I put this topic up was to see if there was enough interest.
Whatever we do hmm.. Perhaps spawn could be the median to the nations, we pick the most ideal location for it too. It could be a small NPC town, almost as primitive as possible, essentially the shambles that will encompass the nations. There would be farms and cow farms or whatever. Perhaps a surplus of stone weapons and sticks/torches in a chest, and someone can tend to supplying the spawn with bread and supplies.
No pvp in spawn, it's going to be perhaps 100-150ish blocks wide and long, and once te player feels ready they can explore the existing nations, or set out to start their own. We could call this an enterprenuer (no spell check), and they have to establish this with te existing kingdoms, starting a nation to close to another could cause one nation not to want the new one, and if you don't respect their request they could declare war on yyou before you even have anything built.
anyway, we could either have a small npc village, or just kind of a cross road with a house or two spotted along the roads, along with farms and the such up until the road meets at one of the nations. Spawn could be in a cave behind a waterfall, or we buld a massive tree that's hollowed out and etc..
Building behind a waterfall would be very impressive, but I would like to make a grand city for either the people who do not want to join a nation or whatnot. Either this could be at spawn or it could be somewhere central to the map.
Well you have to remember, the people who don't want to join a nation on a nation server, are ideally of the "Nomad" diplomacy and have no place settling down in a city to begin with. Ideally in a world with 3-4 different nations you can't have a neutral nation in the middle that has nothing really going on in it because all the hard work goes to the actual nations. Everyone will change their spawn soon anyway, so we should put spawn in someplace in between it all, out of the way with basic supplies like some food, wood and stone. Perhaps we have spawn against an ocean port, or in a cave at the bottom of a waterfall with a clear view of an exit. So that way when you first join our server there's already kind of a story set up, you just rode in on a boat and are embarking on this continent, or you've mysteriously washed up in a mystic land. Etc what the fuck ever, and we could just have a small kinda village built around that with farms or like I said, have empty houses with small farms scattered around the world on the way to the nation cities. Head west along the coast and you eventually reach city A, follow the road through the desert and through a jungle to get to city B, ride a boat down a river through a cave and through some mountains to get to city C, and so on. It's just a matter of dealing with what land the server generates for us. Perhaps we could generate 3-5 worlds before we pick one, and so forth. I CAN SEE IT ALL NOW

Yes, but I don't really like having a president elected from one of many ideal parties, and so on. I hate having a leader that never really seems to be doing anything.
Anyway that's all a bit off topic, back to minecraft discussion. We need to have a small roster of players for the beginning, like Me, Crow and some others that will start the skeleton of the first nation. We need to further discuss how we're going to build all this and what it's going to look like. Let's start with spawn, and explain our visions from there.

Hey it works for the North Koreans 
Fix'd.
North Korea can't even be considered a functional government. The leaders have the intelligents of 3 year olds
IMO all gov't sucks. They all have ups and downs, it'd be nice if we could combine them all into something that actually works.

REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO HATE YOU? BACK IN THE DAY? Those were some good times, BUT NOW WERE BEST FRIENDS. So to anyone who may doubt the possibility of ever liking tictac, IT IS POSSIBLE. Just give it a year of ZPS and it'll be A-OK.

I've got a HUSKY/WOLF/PIBULL. Cutest normal sized dog ever.
Then I've got three other cats, ONES FAT AS FUCK, ONES BLACK, AND THE OTHERS NAMED FLUFFY. Scooter and Lynx's names are cool too.
When I have pictures I will edit them in the text.

So I actually just read a book on this, and I'm not sure if I understand some of it yet (Maybe once I get my Physics major), but from what I read there is another concept of a "fourth dimension" that people tend to confuse with time being the fourth dimension. In theoretical physics, time is the fourth dimension, and that's where you get into Einstein, light, general relativity, and all that jazzy stuff. But in Mathematics, there is another concept of the fourth dimension classified as a "Euclidean Dimension". Basically, it follows the logic (I'll try to explain it the best I understand it) that in a 0 dimension universe, nothing would exist. The universe would exist as a point, no more, no less. A 1 dimension universe would exist as a line. No height or width, just length. (See where I'm going with this? x,y,z coordinates. Purely mathematical, no physics involved in this concept). A 2 dimension universe would exist as a plane. no height. It's hard to imagine anything existing without any height, but that's just due to how we humans perceive our universe, which brings us to 3 dimensions, the world we live in. (Again, excluding time because this is conceptual mathematics, not theoretical physics.) Three dimensions, width, length, height; or the x, y, and z coordinates, respectively. Then we move on to the fourth dimension. So with 0 dimensions, we drew a line 90 degrees to that point and made a 1 dimensional universe. Draw a line at 90 degrees to the 1 dimension, and we get 2 dimensions. Draw yet another line perpendicular to the planar universe, and we have our 3 dimensional one. NOW. Try to imagine drawing another line, at 90 degrees to the other lines already drawn, and you have your fourth dimension. Sorry for such a lengthy explanation (hopefully I made it clear enough), but that's just another view of the fourth.
I can't fucking picture it! Just like trying to picture a color that doesn't exist.
This text below makes things a little more clear. You still can't really picture it, because we can only really imagine things in our third dimension. We are not fourth dimension entities.. Carl Sagan sometimes made it seem like he could perceive the fourth dimension; but later Hawking said he has troubling imagining the 3rd dimension, let alone a fourth. Quoted from some website forum somewhere: Alright. So you guys already know that the first dimension is simply a line (according to our 3-space perspective).
The second dimension extends a line at 90 degrees from the first, creating a plane.
Adding yet another line 90 degrees from the first two lends a cube. You may spare no great expense visualising the corner of a 'box' to see the corner has three line elements; all at 90 degrees from each other, that lend it the property of the cube.
Now here comes the tricky part: Add another line to the corner of our cube; 90 degrees in relation to the other three lines, and we obtain the hypercube ("Tesseract"), which is the fourth-dimension analogue of our regular, ol' cube.
Now I'm asking if the human mind is capable of visualising something like this. I have a hypothesis that answers this in the affermative, but I still need help. But first, some background.
A 3-D sphere entering then leaving the second dimention would appear as a circle that starts from a point, grows to the max diameter of the sphere, then shrinks back into nothingness
Likewise, a hypersphere entering our 3-D space would appear to us as a regular ol' sphere beginning at a point, growing to the maximum diameter of the hypersphere, then decreasing in size to nothingness.
A 2-D organism would observe the sphere entering his universe as an object with depth and height, but no width. We may interpret this as an infinitely-thin sliver; an infinitely thin slice of a 3-D sphere.
As 3-D organisms, we percieve the 4-D hypersphere entering our universe as a regular ol' sphere having height, depth and width but not omega (omega is the fourth-dimensional line element. Thus, we have width, length, height and omega). The fourth-dimensional organism would interpret the sphere we see as an infinitely thin slice of his hypersphere.
Interesting properties:
When we, as 3-D organisms, look at any surface in our universe, what we're actually looking at is second-dimentional planes. Just look at a box if you don't believe me: The box you're looking at is consisting of three planes joined in 3-space to form a cube.
Likewise, the organism in 2-space, when looking at his square, is actually looking at lines. Two of them, provided the corner of the square is seen.
It stands to reason, therefore, that any fourth-dimentional organism looking at the surface of his hypercube would actually be looking at cubes. That's right: The surface of the hypercube is the cube, just like the surface of our cube is the plane. Here are some helpful pictures and shit.  Supposedly, the hypercube. What the cube is to the square, the "Tesseract" is to the cube. This is a famous gif kind of showing how it works.

Stop using imperial system.
Metric = masterrace
I'd rather say 5'1 than 1.18535 meters. You can keep your crappy metric decimals.
I agree its alot easier to Say instead of writing it down as well i mean just imagine someone asks you how tall you are and instead of saying Five foot one you say One point one eight five three five meters
well we rarely say we are 1,18 meters and such, we either say we are 118 cm or 1 meters and 18 centimeters.
Also this is an incredibly stupid discussion, when something is 100% useless within several branches of work and education then why even use it when there is a better system?! -.-
we use an incredibly easy system 1 meter is 10dm which is 100 cm which is 1000mm and so on decreasing by 10^-1 if you follow the branch completely and increasing by 10^1 if you go the other way. Also goes the other way 1km is 1000m (there are some in between but myeaa... 10km = 1 mil)
That makes the system perfect for physics, chemistry and accurate measurements.
Yeah, we all agree. We just have feet and pounds stuck in our head; it was taught to us instead of metric, and then we learned metric later. Some of use learned it at the same time like me though, but as I noticed with my sister and other people I know; some know nothing about the metric system. What confuses me further is why people use stones.. I remember talking to some New Zealand Aussie, and she was like I weight 5 stones, and I was like LOLWUT; how do I know how big the stones are? D:
