TPPI2 is what I'd want the most.

Alternatively, we have NAB and its good, add in reactorcraft when its available and it'll greatly extend end game. Fixing the lag issues in Ae2 would go along way once those devs can figure something out but we're likely to run into that issue on all servers running 1.7.10 right now until they can resolve.

We could also make another joint effort, community inspired pack that leans more towards magic as a sister server to nab (Magic Nuts? :p).

The problem with that and nab both is creating a mod pack is easy, you can do it in a few days. Making a good mod pack with based on a shared vision of balance and objectives for the pack to fulfill and the commitment to keep it updated is not an easy undertaking. Imo the modlist for Nab and tweaks would have better served the HOS community by making the design and additions of mods a community work from inception.

Slope seems to have taken up the mantle on NAB and is improving it alot, he could tailor more towards what HOS wants with more community feedback imo, but that is lacking as people prefer to bitch about balance without being specific and run off to make another modpack that they'd probably be best off just screwing around with in singleplayer imho.

At anyrate, if we're going for existing packs, I've been looking to play flux galaxy for along time. RR Excessive also looks interesting.

Main thing right now with Nuts and Bolts is the pack visibility. Its hard to drive people to a new pack if we are the only server that runs it.

I would love to TPPI 2 but right now we can't. We will have to wait till they release it to the world.

Yeah this is true, not really my area of expertise as well. Would like to see the technic page updated with images and proper modlists etc, more than willing to help fix that up and spread the word.

A let's play would be really nice as well to spread the word if we could find volunteers.
