GW 3 News
« on: July 25, 2004, 05:42:14 pm »
I am shooting for a 8/21/2004 start date.   Why so late?

1)   OP+ 3.4 is on the horizon.

2)  We need to get FS' double fighter bug fix slaped into all the missions and tested on a test server

3)  Some of us need a break


SO what am I thinking for GW3??

1)  Basicaly same game play as GW2

2)  The Klingon's will have made some gains into Mirak space at kick off

3)   No "new" races for this one so it should have less issues.

4)  Small map  (GW1) sized

5) Same type of OOB set up and VC set up.

6) I kinda like some of Vaul's ideas . . .  thinking about them . . . .

7)  Need to screw over 762 and Hexx.    Hmmmm.   I'm open to ideas.

Sounds good - how big was GW1? I wasn't playing at the time, hence my ignorance.

Well I'll be flying with the KBF as my lackeys so I'm already kinda screwed over.

I have no dounts though that with my glorious speechifying and inspirational statue building program throughout the Klingon Empire that the bumpy headed ones will prevail.

After all  it's not like we're going to have any serious PvP competition...





Actually the 21st is a good start date, gives time to rest and should give me about 2 weeks with Doom3.
Also what year (game wise) does this one start and end in ?

Should be starting in 2270, according to J'inn's GW site. Which puts the Klinks right on the Mirak homeworld's doorstep. (Two major raids were in late 2269 and Feb of 2270, accorrding to this).


As for when it's going to finish....ask the cat :)

1)   OP+ 3.4 is on the horizon.

There's still so much left to do..  hmm..    I'll keep you posted. If it was within July, I would have said "go with 3.3".

Well why don't we try for a 21/08 start date using 3.3 ? (Isn't 3.4 just adding some (D2 wise) unnecessary ships?
Or is there another important module you're including?

Sorry shorty, but this is so diabolical that even Beelzebub couldn't come up with it, only our God in heaven.

Not that it counts for shat, but i vote for keeping the shiplist and OOB just like it was on GW2. The Dipshi$ aint doing any favors on LB5.

Be nice to fix that fighter bug alrighty.

How big a bribe to push the starting date back another week to aug. 28th so that I will be able to play? (aug. 7th would have been great)

 Er, not if you're in the mix from what I've seen.... ;)

I meant on the Klink side. Of course there is the BCF and the NAL, but Plas-F arent really that much of a threat. (Unless your fighting something with a "Z" on the end of its name.

True...but even considering what a C7 could be capable of if you stuck an R torp in the nose.....


Still trying to decide what race to use in GW3. Went Fed during LB5 and Klink in GW2...haven't played Kitty in ages....

I don't know.... once the AMD is used up... launch that SP to chase a plasma F.... really has a way of taking up PD phaser fire. ;D

Thats true, but fortunately klinks dont have plasma. I normally turn PD off vs plasma races, so you dont waste phaser power on em

Agreed, that is why you fire plasma AND drones at them with the F-BCF or F-NAL (which is actually quite a nice ship, is there a CL version of that? ie with .67 move rate?)
