Squadron Commander goes live Sunday!
« on: September 10, 2004, 10:53:21 am »
A bit of a delay beyond what I wanted, best beloved.  My backup computer went belly up this week, and so I had to spend a day and a half building a new machine.  (At retail store prices!  gasp!)  I mean, I love you guys and all, but I wasn't starting the server until I had a machine to play on myself.  ;)

Anyway, Squadron Commander will go live at 6PM this Sunday.  (Day after tomorrow.)  It's planned for a two week run.

It will NOT run late, regardless of crashes, because I want in on the KCW action.    One or two of you may be getting a message from me soon to see if you can help me with restarts after crashes, so play time isn't abbreviated because of the hard end-date.

The download link and a web page with collated rules should be up late Saturday.

If this concept intrigues you, then start thinking about which race you want to fly for and get all of your pilots in order.  Then get ready for life as an attrition unit.  Think of the glory!  getting shot up over and over and over and over and.......

looking forward to it. Make sure you ask to get some of your posts sticked. The ones that need be. Frey still has the GW3 files stickied. That need to come down.

Cool HB.

Will there be an installer (and thus uninstaller)?

yeah, we need the files to play, namely the Fed, Hydran, Klingon, ISC pf's...
I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.

Yes, there will be an installer.  One of my usual one click to install, one click to uninstall jobs.  This should make things easier for those of us playing on GZ or any other campaign. 

Sorry, guys.  I discovered that I had been volunteered to help my stepfather paint his house today.  So "late Saturday" for the downloads is going to turn out to be "very very late on Saturday".  Possibly even "very very early on Sunday", depending upon which time zone you live in.

Watch this space.

Just a word of warning.  I'm definitely going to be working until the wee hours of the morning getting this wrapped up.  I'd advise all sane people interested in this server (if that is not a contradiction....) to look for the downloads in the morning.

The insomniacs can make their own decisions.  ;)

Kickoff time hasn't changed:  should still be 6PM EST on Sunday.
