SC2: Gunfighters take your marks!
« on: August 26, 2005, 10:49:17 am »
Be honest.  Down deep inside, haven't you always wanted a server where the enemy couldn't disengage?  Now is your chance.  With cheap attrition units being the weapon of the day we are going to give it a try.

Ready your g-suits.  Make sure your air tanks are full.  Double-check that your seatbelt is tight.  Bruces, return your tray tables to an upright position.  Lazy cats...... WAKE UP!!!

Squadron Commander 2:  The Second Wave will go live Saturday night at 8PM EST.  I plan to have the (small) installer online in the wee hours tonight.

Be prepared for initial shock!  It has been a while since we've had a server that allowed fleets bigger than one ship.  At first you may find that keeping all your boats in a useful formation is like trying to herd cats.  Have no fear, the fleet skill does comes back to you in a bit.  Just remember, the AI follows gentle maneuvers better than it does violent maneuvers, and you don't have to maneuver nearly as often after the enemy is DEAD!

Yes, in this case it is spelled H-E-X-X.

And I'm not sure what "wee hours of the morning" are to Herr Burt but shouldn't we have the installer?
(ya didn't let Kroma show you his "pet" hamster did you?)

I feel the need, the need for speed.

Hi, sorry about that.  The wife got sick last night, and I had to knock off early to take care of her.

However, she is feeling much better today and we should still be a go for an 8PM launch.  But I'll need a few more hours today before I get the installer up.  (The perils of changing your mind about a few things at the last minute.)
