Got this idea whilst talking to some friends, and I actually really like it. PLEASE give your feedback and your opinion on it. Maybe it could become reality =)

Skyworld as we know it is completely left behind. Instead all Zonians board onto a giant mothership that would be their home. The Mothership would consist of all inside levels; the GMAP would be a giant space ship interior. Every 1-3 real life days the Mothership discovers a "new" planet for the players to explore. Each planet would have its own species, civilization, terrain, shops, quests, etc. However you only have a few days to explore the planet, because the Mothership needs to take off again. This then would be a reoccuring system similar to this; Stay on the mothership 1-3 real life days, discover a new planet for another 1-3 real life days.

Of course no one would enjoy being stuck on a plain space ship for 1-3 days so it would have sections to feed everyone's needs. There could be a PK Arena, sparring section, and all attributes that all other server's GMAPs contain (minimum permanent shops that get updated periodically, etc).
We of course could add on other ideas that have been suggested previously in this thread too. Equipment, Leveling Up and becoming better, Factions, and all that nice stuff. But this would just be the base approach to improving Zone.

But basically, this was our idea and I feel it would give Zone a much more unique server approach and itd definitely be more entertaining then it is now. Please leave your opinions and add ons! I've also been playing around with a tileset too, so this could be the ships' tileset once i finished and polished it if everyone seems to like it =)

Tileset so far:


(if you've ever seen/read Ender's Game, this is where I got most the ideas/general scheme. If you search up on it, they have an awesome battle system interpreted in the book that would be amazing to incorporate into Zone. Could tie into Factions especially.)
