New Craft Type: Plane Back

ContDJ about 1 year ago

As the title suggests, I would like to suggest a new craft type called Planes.

This craft is ideally designated to travel quickly between regions on the server, but not too quickly as to make loyalty system irrelevant.
The max speed of this craft should be around 15-20 m/s which is a little faster than Zeppelins and a higher rotation cooldown than zeppelins, and a higher Y limit

Minimum Block Size of this craft could be around 1-1.5K blocks, and maximum could be 5-6K

Additionally the core blocks of this craft should be Redstone and Iron blocks (5% Each?), Armor could be teracotta blocks and blocks like concrete should also be allowed on this craft, to make this more balanced, Planes should have a maximum of 2-6 Chests regardless what the craft size is.

To make things more interesting we could allow players to pilot fighter jets (no bombers) as escorts for this craft type which would be pilot-able in a range of 200-300 blocks from the plane (Can be lower)

To make it a *bit* more interesting we could also add Variable speed to it just like /dc has for fighters

And of course I get that this craft type may not be perfect for many players or staff so I'd be more than happy to hear out other suggestions you have because I have wanted planes to be a craft type for a long time.

Zeppelins but 10% more speed with 10% less utility. I see no reason to add this when zeppelins are already balanced

i think thats pretty genius to have a new movecraft i agree with you contt

If we take the speed 15-20 m/s it is around 88 - 150 % faster than zeppelins, the speed is added at the cost of utility

Also after thinking for a little bit, It would also be balanced if Bucket of Fuel was the only fuel type allowed for this craft and the consumption could be moderate(?)

Well written suggestion in the forums i cant believe my eyes instant updoot

I think neboogles makes a good point. Is this not just a "better zeppelin"? I don't see a situation where a zeppelin would be preferred over a plane, except for storage.

perhaps very high fuel/coal as consumption, no fighter escort ability and terra

The main purpose of this craft is to be faster than zeppelin, way fast to travel around
And if choosing zeppelins over planes is because of cargo transport, isn't that a good thing?
So that planes would actually be useful

I like Contt's idea about fast travel zeppelins could be a nice thing to have but it needs to be balanced between how fast/how much storage
and i think it should for example if it went 10% faster then a zep it should consume 10% more coal then a zep

It's illogical to make a regular plane faster than a fighter jet (12 blocks per second). So if this is added I would not make it faster than 12ms and reduce it's storage to 0 while also increasing the material costs.
