This idea was too interesting to pass up...

In this community fortress game the objective is to create a 'spaceship' of simi-massive proportions.Making sure there is enough provisions for a full blown colonization of another planet.Eventually when the game is about to be over a video will be recorded and 'blast-off' will be initiated,to disastrous results...

Rules:
>The spaceship will be the actual fortress itself,with all the bedrooms,workshops,food stocks,barracks,and other dwarvish necessities included.Stone and other such minor stockpiles may be placed outside.

>Exploitative devices such as drawbridge crushers and U-bends may not be used to defend the fort itself,but may be used to deal with trash.(hoping to see some trash compressors and water thrusters involved)

>The old method of ending turns by the beginning of spring applies.

>If anyone does something obscenely stupid(the fort is doomed!) the game will revert to the last valid save.

>The fortress is to be suspended in mid air via supports and bridges,which at the end of the fortress's play will be collapsed a few seconds after the 'water thrusters' are activated.

Now heres the catch of my idea,I'm not playing,I have neither the time nor patience to actually take part.(except for hosting and watching the game take place)

Players:
PTTG??
Strife26
Metal Chao
DreaDFanG
J Lensher
Dwarf Fanatic
Duke 2.0
Kilowatt
PTTG??

So who wants to go to Alpha Centauri???

[Strife26]

This qualifies as strange . . .
Why the hell not?
I'll take a turn.

[Emeralddragon2]

Why not use a few million barrels of beer and a fire source (dragon maybe) for some kind of thrust? I don't have enough time now to play a succession game, but can I request a dwarf under my own name to be in the expedition?
(Name: Durdles)
(Occupation: Mechanic/Miner)

Maybe if I have time in the future I'll try to get a spot if this game is still goin' on.

[Metal Chao]

Succession spaceship eh?
Well I'll give it a shot.

[DreaDFanG]

I'll take one spot.

[J Lensher]

I'll have a go,
Just had an idea, one section could be the "cockpit" and have glass walls....

[Dwarf Fanatic]

I go! I have an idea, build the finns out of Steel. Walls can be stone but those near the head has to be Crystal Glass or lead covered. Also, bonus points if a launch pad and entering tower is also built!

[Duke 2.0]

I'll join.

Gem windows for reactor cores!

If you want to get to Alpha Centauri, you'll need to use magma to cryogenically freeze them.

Magma... to... freeze...

[Kagus]

We collect burning socks as a hobby.  We eat biscuits made from minced beer.  We attain nirvana from looking at furniture.

Magma to freeze.

[Cthulhu]

Put them in chambers, fill said chambers with water, then fill said chambers with magma.  Obsidian Cryogenic Stasis devices.

[Lord Dullard]

Ahh.. so in other words, your dwarves will be using the Star Wars method.

[Kilowatt]

Yep.

Sign me up.

[Qmarx]

You're going about the space launching thing incorrectly.

If you want a decent launch, don't have the spaceship fall when a support is pulled.


Instead, mine out all of the bottom level except your ship.  When the supports are removed, the spaceship takes off.

I mean, obviously it takes off.  The ground is so far below you now.
