Subject: Server types

Netrek has spawned many variants, most of which can be played using the
standard clients.  On the Metaserver list (port 3521), the last character
on the right denotes the server type.

This is a listing of currently active variants.  They're vaguely ordered by 
popularity.


Vanilla (Metaserver code B): Also known as Bronco or Guzzler code.  These
servers are based on the orignal code, Terence Chang's bronco code, or Nick 
Trown's New Vanilla release.  They are not all identical but they have 
minimal modifications.

Paradise (Metaserver code P): These servers use the NetrekII/Paradise source.  
Paradise servers can be configured to many settings, including simulating a 
regular Vanilla server.  The source code release includes an expanded galaxy, 
impluse/warp differentiation, suns, extra ships, and more.  You need to
use the Paradise client to play on most Paradise servers.

Hockey (Metaserver code H): Netrek hockey mode.  Most fun you can have on ice 
without actually being on it.  Teams of players try to shoot (pressor)
the Puck (a robot) into the other teams' goal.

Chaos (Metaserver code C): These servers include modifications designed to 
make the game chaotic, including galaxy-class ships, free plasmas, unlimited
starbases, pass-through walls, and more.

Dogfight (Metaserver code F): These are servers designed with dogfighting 
tournaments in mind.  The code is still rather buggy, but getting better.

Base Practice (Metaserver code unknown): These are servers designed to allow 
people to practice playing starbases.  They feature programmable robot oggers.
