Dude, sick of waiting on this end.

Patience man, patience. It's still a great game and lots of fun in the meantime, right?

Are you familiar with Alexander Keith's beer advertising?

Good beer, good slogan.
Not sure how it applies here though..

Ah well, anything about Keith's is always OK

No, no, no... dang, showing my age... it used to be "We take the time to do it right."
(didn't it? or have I lost it altogether?) I checked the website but found no trace of the old slogan...
did find these (kinda neat):
http://www.keiths.ca/k_birthday/keiths_bday.wmv
http://www.keiths.ca/k_brewery/k_video/tour.wmv
Funny how the people quoted at the end of the tour all seem to have a little buzz...
Pretty good site overall:

(I do tread on breaking the advertising rule here, not to mention going way off topic...lol)

I want beer, that's it... back on topic. ;)

I feel the same way. On the otherhand when you have lost to madelf at least you know that you were killed by an excellent pilot. Occasionally I have been overconfident and lost to pilots that I normally own.

Good question, thanks for asking.

Short "background" first. Have been playing this series since SFC 1, this is the only game that has remained on my puter. Played the board version a few times, didn't care for it (but I am an old board wargamer). Never joined a "fleet" preferred to fly indie - and died alot !

It's clear that people want a variety of choices and not be locked into  a single option. So, from my perspective :

I'd like a dedicated training area for new and not so new players - irrespective of fleet allegiance. A place where the new (er) players can be taught not only basics but some of the tricks of the game and not get frustrated by those who prey on the uninitiated. In short a clearly identified road map so people can choose the direction they want to go. For those who don't understand what I'm talking about: I don't live on-line. I have a real job and a family. I don't/won't spend countless hours examining code, reading forums etc. I want to sign in, get some competent tutoring where I need it, and go have some fun. You also need a really clear diretory of where things are located: patches,downloads, and clear explanations of "mods", scripts, i.e what they are,how they work and how they effect the basic game program. I guess a sort of SFC University for the uninitiated. There's a lot of stuff out there but frankly for the casual person it's tough to wade through and make sense of.

After that I'd like to see a structured campaign with opposing fleets OB's that are locked in, a set time limit, and a clearly defined victory condition. Not everybody needs/wants a BB. If people who design OB's aren't clear about what a fleet looks like then simply look at any "real world" navy and you'll see far more frigates and destroyers than cruisers, BB's and carriers. So, yes in my opinion there should be limits on BCH's etc.

Finally, there needs to be a place for the "ladder climbers". While I personally think  GSA was ruiined by all of the "game zone only" players I realize there are those who really want to do that type of play and should be able to - but not at the playing expense of everyone else.

thanks for the opportunity to comment and good luck to those of you who are trying to make all of this work.

I want to play a game that has more tactics than a death-drag . . .



Don't we already?   I certainly do...


And BTW, I don't agree with this thread's beginning premise that nothing has changed in four years.  Sure, the same issues still plague the sensibilities of some, but the game is markedly different today from that of even a couple years ago.

Well some of the dressing may have changed, but essentially the issues reamin as they were, but that's a discussion for another time and thread.
