I don't really want to fragment what little online community we have, but I have contemplated putting a UIM 6 server up, I figured I would let you guys decide, here are my thoughts:
1. It would run on a VDS out of Chicago, so it should have good up time unless there is a hard crash, and should have good connection to at least people in the States.
2. I would like to try the FPS hack to see if it works
3. I would like to adjust the pods, engines, cells and moths to balance them more, examples are not set in stone:
A. Smallest pod could fit 1-30 unit cargo to give Silver Ys some more use. Largest would be 2-75 unit cargos for ore runs
B. Engines 2 and especially 3s would consume much more power so think twice about the cost of speed.
C. Rebalancing all the cells, a 1 would have the smallest capacity, fastest recharge, up to a 4 with largest capacity slowest recharge.
D. Limit the Neo Tiger to 3 weapons and the Swallow to 2 to give some of the other moths a fighting chance to be used by pilots more.
4. Hangar name hack, display the actual name.
5. Limit the hangar commands and only give them out to people who can help moderate the server. (They can be renamed)
6. I would use some cheats to put godly amounts of resources in the moth factories so we don't have to supply them to keep the game going. I could possibly not put Cells in it so try to control the output by players.
7. Possibly turn on the buying/selling software for the faction hangars, that would give 2 more moth factories!
8. Possibly allow players to purchase hangars in other craters. (Done by manually changing the owner)

Suggestion: Raise base price of narc to be higher than standard sell price, but lower than desperate price.
I was never into the narc trade so I don't know the prices, however I know that Food's base price is 500, and when a place is desperate for it they buy it at around 572.
Also, other than hangar commands such as;
hangar software,a-z
most hangar commands are fine like,
hangar type, hangar logo, <-- Seriously what if someone wants Bob's Skull and Crossbones instead of Alpha Crater, etc. hangar status hangar goods hangar stock (I think that was the other one? Its been a while.) hangar name, <-- It is safe as long as people don't rename important buildings, Police HQ, The After Dark (DON"T DO IT!!!!!!!!), or I assume a faction building. (I would bet that renaming a faction HQ would be bad.)
Well any way the majority of hangar commands are safe. Though not every command is guaranteed safe while flying.

I don't think you can adjust the prices, or at least I don't know how to.
I wouldn't let just anyone use the Name command, people could do naughty stuff with it

Can't have too many server options. It can only help to grow an online community.

I'd definitely be up for playing online! I go through the forums every now and then to see who might be still into playing this game multiplayer, and I'm glad there are.
