Very cool.

I wish I could join in with you all, I'm sure I'm missing a ton of fun.  Well... that and thinking I'd be strung up with a bat'leth for wanting to fly a K7T.

Numbers are much fewer now as it seems that there are issues that could not maintain the initial intereset  :-\

Opening nights are always far more busy, attendance always falls off on every server, regardless of any issues.  (Quit stirring the pot! ;))

If this would have been a one week server... I think it'd have been packed day and night. peeps would be waiting for someone to disconnect sitting at the login screen hitting refresh so they could get on the server.I just dont think these type servers are good for extended play. There was no tech progression. That adds change and replayability imo. ;)

It has been a lot of fun though   ;D

I agree, game does need tech progression to stay interesting.  And fewer dumb rules.

Agreed- I set it up to run too long with nothing new for players to work towards or look forward to,
apologies to all (easpecially Dizzy who mentioned it more tha most) who told me this would happen.

I disagree about the "dumb rules" thing (of course)
Although I (again) take the blame for the incoherent way in which they were presented, and the confusion that
came from my constant revisions, I still think they are a better set (although still needing alot of work)
than anything else presented for any server recently.

either way, we're still packing 15 players during this "slack period" most nights. My only question is about the four or five ships that show up as enemies that never appear. Are these going to become available before the server ends? Were these ships that would have become available due to the secret VPs?

You mean like the DWLs and the FD7Ks?

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Right? Every server needs something dumb. It's part of the package.

I was wondering about the specific missions for each house? Have these gone by the wayside, or are they forthcoming? It would seem to me that conflicting mission motivations would enhace the playability of the server and give it more realism.


'Hail Gurthang! No lord or loyalty dost thou know, save the hand that wieldeth thee. From no blood wilt thou shrink. Wilt thou therefore take Túrin Turambar, wilt thou slay me swiftly?'
And from the blade rang a cold voice in answer: 'Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.'

What Risky meant was that we have been drawing DWL ai and that fast cruiser last edition ship, and the C7 often, and even a couple Dreads.
