Tired of being chased by DN's?
« on: August 05, 2004, 05:41:57 am »
Or worse, tired of always missing out on the few DN's available?

Well now we can have a DN (and BB) free D2, simply by using DN-B-Gorn.

But seriously remove the DN's and instead put in SSR's for the campaign with VC's for the DN battles, but those battles occur with the best (most stable) conditions for fleets that we can manage, and that is a GSA battle. Whoever wants to fly a DN can, they just have to put their name down for a DN battle, round up a DN class fleet and face the enemies fleet. I they lose their DN or retreat then they lose VC's.

Now this will have to be managed but should serve the purpose of having DN battles kept as a relative rarity, but open to anybody, without flooding the D2 with them.

Now what to do if the enemy doesn't want to put up a fleet? They lose VC's, because the DN got through to wherever it was attacking without a battle and pulverised the base or whatever without any opposition. As per usual a bit work will have to be done to lay out the GSA rules (as opposed to the D2 rules which there won't be).

I even see where one-off scenarios (missions) can be designed (4 CA's attack the BB and FF etc) as options (not compulsory but if both sides choose to accept that battle option then the GSA battle is played out.

Anyway what could be better for the infrequent player than a D2 where the biggest enemy will be a CC and most people are in line ships. 

Not sure I can be bothered, but as you are the Doc, can you run an AI standard patrol in 2 minutes in a KRC? If so, there is no problem and I am utterly wrong. If you cannot, then the KRC is a worse ship for AI missions than ones I know can.

I have to say that's another pretty good idea.

I'm just not sure what you mean by:

Sorry if they're dumb questions, but what's "DN-B-Gorn" and what's an "SSR"?

Who else thinks its time for Cleaven to run a campaign? Or pass a complete design (map, settings, VCs...) on to someone else to admin? I figure the result would probably be ground-breaking and fun!

Having just discovered my connection is now 500kbit up (instead of the 300 I thought it was) and my ISP actually encourages users to run gaming servers... I suppose I could if a better setup is not available.

DN-B-Gorn, a pun, a play on words. The pun would lead you to the phrase DN-B-gone.

Special Scenario Rules

Maybe if I worked night shift or something where I was awake in peak hour. Maybe.

Not sure I can be bothered, but as you are the Doc, can you run an AI standard patrol in 2 minutes in a KRC? If so, there is no problem and I am utterly wrong. If you cannot, then the KRC is a worse ship for AI missions than ones I know can.
