Thanks for your reply :)
I've just been pretty stressed with exams at the moment and might have taken things abit wrongly.

For the record, I suspect one of the primary reasons rhx's server has been getting the lion's share of attention lately has been because of the Fenris project I initiated over there. The only reason I chose that server over yours was because when I asked for server details, whoever answered me gave me rhx's IP, not yours.

Have you considered starting a similar project on your server? Since the Fenris is about as big as you can get (vertically) in MC, how about starting to build an Aten or Argo?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

An Aeolus could probably fit comfortably as well.  That'd also come with the fringe-benefit of serving as a wonderful excuse to build some TNT cannons (where the side flak emplacements would be).

i really dont have the time right now to actually work on anything.

How do you make a TNT cannon that doesn't explode with each use anyway?  Obsidian?

yea. or water, but i'm not 100% sure on the construction side of it. the minecraft wiki should have more info.

To elaborate, TNT that detonates in water deals damage to mobs/players and confers kinetic energy to physics-enabled blocks, but doesn't destroy blocks.

TNT cannons have been nerfed in 1.6.6, FYI. They don't propel the projectile like they used to.

I still managed to make one. :P Though playing with TNT without god mode can be volatile.

You've never seen the Herc i made on Pece's server have you? Cause we kinda beat you to the punch on that one. :D

It can be seen easily from dynamap if you don't want to log on, alongside all the other awesome stuff.

The idea of an Aten was thought of before, being fewer then 64 meters tall and relatively flat it would be able to fit 1:1 without mining down at all. unfortunately, I know that the Herc took me so long, even mapped out -similar to your fenris plans, only on graph paper- that the idea of doing an Aten alone scares me a bit, even with the use of CreativeStick. (which is kinda cheating, at least by the Fenris project standards)

Perhaps when the Fenris is done an Aten project can begin on Pece's server

You shouldn't be so skeptical. Every day I log on the Fenris gets bigger by so much it's actually pretty scary.
Hey Sandwiched, for the Fenris are you going to add engine flames/lights/wool?
I was thinking more along the lines of lava falls along the rear. Cover the lava with glass from the inside, but leave it exposed on the outside.

Hmm... after Fenris is complete, how about making a subspace jump effect in front of or behind it, out of blue/white wool, lightstone, and glass? :p
I was thinking about making a beam outa green wool. XD

I'll jumpstart the Aten/Aeolus/Argo project on your server myself... if I can manage to connect (I have severe timeout issues depending on what time of day it is here when I try to play multi, apparently).

If it's worth anything, I can start carving out the landscape to fit the Aten right now. I have loads of free time and I've just about ran out of ideas as to what to do on pece's server.

I might stop by a percenipek's server this evening, I'm not really one for building the Aten, since I prefer to just let myself go nuts rather than have a preset project, but, at the very least, it'll give me some experience of how this thing works in multiplay ;)

go nuts. there are tons of unused houses, and unless you find a sign on a house that its claimed by someone, feel free to take whatever you find in chests.

I've recently been dumping a lot of wood and cobblestone in the main house for newbies to use, so you should have enough material even for an elaborate project. Just remember to resupply the chests after youre done  :)
