Having Klinks and Feds on the same side is pointless. LB5 proved that.

I have to agree, it would be great to see both Klinks and Feds on the same side, but history has proved so far it can't work.

Yeah, that was even more disgusting than the whole KCW draft thing...

But hey, we're a persistent lot, interested in growth.  ;)

*shudder*

We can talk after AoTK2 is over. ;D

Hey, what happened to your webmap? I always was proud that you first developed it for ISC Inv. dyna SQL dyna.  You should bring it back.


http://www.dynaverse.net/webmap_op_sql/  Development has begun anew.. (Tracey's newly introduced terrian types need to be added it will show some errors till I get that done, a battle reporting interface based on the current automatic "Destroyed ships" page (needs human confirmations), An OoB interface (already in the early stages), and SMF forums integration! Phew, I gotta lot of work to do.

The latest flatfile map I'm quite proud of as well, (not currently connected to AOTK2 , last used on SG4 and the GFZ) - it will need some updating for the new terrain types too - and Dizzy keeps sending me color scheme suggestions..  :thumbsup:   (uses php's unpack function creatively - partial flatfile structure taken from EDDBEDIT source.) Took DieHards suggestion for optional planet and base display too...


in late 2003, I made a variant of your webmap code for the registration module in Islandwars at www.islandwars.net, hit "Registration" buttion. See, yer famous. ;D

BTW, look what Frey did for me =>  www.eek-scripts.com 


Awesome - Frey is the man! ISC invasion lives!  ;D


I need to fill it in a lot. Including the first "campaign map slot" where your webmap originally was.  Mb, it could be our first SQL Dyna like I first always intended for ISC Inv. in 2003. ;D


Hopefully we'll get the groundwork done on The Forge in the next few months. I'd love to see the ISC Invasion finally run.

That was before Mirror Mirror where the players mixed it up.   I'm actually a bit more optomistic than I used to be.

I had a good time flying with Kreug and my favourite wing, Shadowlord, on the mirror server. It would be good to hook up again.

a) -- I would like to see and ISC invasion...ISC vs the rest..


b)While I always want to fly with my KHH buddies and never against them I have to say that flying with traditional enemies as you wings really helps this game in the long run. You learn that they are decent guys "who dont drop on purpose" "who dont alt f4 out of mission " etc etc.. I am all for mixing up taditional teams so we can learn more about the guys who, in the past we have only flown against. I think in the long run its vital for the limited community we have left.

How many Players do we have flying ISC? Karnak is the only one that comes to mind, then again I still need more coffee.

For a good dyna, ISC can usually russle up about 4 to 5 steady regulars (ie. primary race is ISC) that are either getting min. 100K lifetime prestige totalled among all Kitty accounts (look for the flipping cat), and/or are recording PvP kills in the AoTK2 Kill thread.

As far as I know (please correct me if wrong), this dyna we have meeting one or both of the above milestones:

  • Darth_DeathFly
  • Riskyllama
  • FA_Frey_XC
  • Karnak

I've also seen some other ISC veteran players like DireWolf make a sporadic appearance.  And, I am one of the ARMs for the Kitty side representing the ISC in our 3 race alliance. Mutilator is ARM representing the Lyrans, Green is for the Mirak, and Chuut is the Kitty Overlord.

That's a good start indeed. I'm just wondering If that would be enough against everyone else. If nothing else, Maybe I can ask the 9th fleet if they would fly ISC for that campaign. I can't make any promises, all I can do is ask. If not maybe another fleet will stand up and give you some more numbers.

Thanks for the info though Bro.
