I read you on that Hexx, but it is a campaign in which I will be flying with my fleet in 3 vrs 3 player games. I noticed that if you do not practice that, and learn the fleet strategy as a group, your going to end up hurting your fleet. It seems now that I have to keep close track of my mates in addition to the enemy

A couple of times I didn't pay attention and got so focused on trying to kill someone I was off alone. Needless to say that was the end O me rather quickly.

Practice of any sort is good I agree but having run a lot of games I have seen half dedicated players sign up and then not really come through with the dedication needed.

Although I would like to join I don't want to be half involved and give myself a bad rep.

If you have not heard about Schramm's Automated Campaign System III,.. what,.. you been under a rock ?

It is great from what I hear (I haven't played in it yet),... two years ago he ran version 2 and folks say it was a great time. Ran for over a year and hundreds of turns. You actually download a C++ client and it has chat features, fleet command windows, direct player engagement (it doesn't us GSA) from the consol, fog of war, campaign cloak rules, production, etc,.. all kinds of stuff I have in my campaign games but his is not pen and pencil done. His automated system is like the games I run for my crew only with hundreds of players.

When I first came onto this board long ago I was seeking a premiere campaign, I think I have found it. I will let you know how it goes. Hey for all I know the thing is full of bugs and crashes and sh*t,.. we will see.

Much thanks for the invite though

You'll never learn how to beat us if you don't fly against us. It took four or five PvP's on Storm Season before I figured out how to beat a human opponent. I won't reveal said opponent's name, but will tell you he was a Kzinti...

Forgive me Father for I have sinned,..

Hey I am not jumping ship,.. You'll see me out there somewhere, I just don't think that committing to a highly active role is a good ideal for me.

Hey who is the best pilot

That aught to get some responses,...

Best pilot I ever flew with, or against? In the immortal words of Gordo Cooper, you're lookin' at him.

Now that the laughter has died down, I'd have to say either Kreug or Thrain.

I will accept the Lordship of Prime industries, if no one else wishes to. Never done the RM thing, so any input from anyone who may want to fly Prime would be welcome. If the server launches may 6th, I won't be around much may 8th to 12th.

Thank you Tobin! You and your quartet of an assistant are hereby placed in charge of Prime Industries. May those who have betrayed you and robbed you of your god-given right to rule the universe feel the pain of their error. (And serve to line your pockets.)

If the Tigerheart has not been taken yet I would offer my services for them.

Also, I will be inviting the FSD guys to this team, and Skaren, try it out with us. I promise it will be great fun, and if you get a price on your head from our own team, dont worry, we will collect your ~~head~~ hmm, bounty, before anyone else.

Outstanding! Thank you D'Emon Fly. And a right smart-looking band of colorful adventurers I'm sure you'll be.

I will go where the FSD leader goes and if he wants FSD to rally around Wylderfire then I am there.

Now I am not very experienced with Dyna, I am used to a lot of hex flipping. I am confussed as to how this will work. If pirates don't own hexes is this only PVP ? Or are we still hex flipping?

I ask this while looking behind me !!

Well, I can die quickly and be a real bitch about it.

I'll throw out insults to you, then insult your momma's momma's momma.

Of course, I could just go blow myself up and insult my momma's momma's momma.

We all just want, how do I say it, "A piece of the action."
So remember to make your wingman an, "Offer he can't refuse," or you might just "Be sleeping with the k'romas."

I'll need to get the Info thread updated to make this clear. (I used to have another post up that gave an outline, but I can't find it.)

Pirate *do* flip hexs, on the cartel map layer. There are two map layers to each campaign: one that shows which empires control each hex, and one that shows which cartel controls the black market for each hex. You'll need to use the pulldown menu in the upper left of your screem to swap to the cartel map for this campaign most of the time.

There are several ways to earn victory points in this campaign, which should allow everyon to help their cartel, regardless of their strengths or the amount of time that they can put into the server:
1) Controlling the blcak market, payoffs, and protection money. (the economy of the hexs you control) The total econ of each cartel will be counted EACH DAY, and will be added to a running total.
2) Eliminating the competition (destroying player owned ships) When you kill a player, you'll need to send me a report of who you killed and what they were flying.
3) Amassing wealth. (the prestige you earn. How would you keep yourself well-supplied with gorgeous, green-skinned women if you don't amass wealth?) I'll check your total lifetime prestige.
4) Special secret opportunities offerd to each cartel during the game.

In addition, there will be a side game based who can become the most famous and feared pirate in the galaxy. You can see the "Piracy Points" and the "Information Thread" for details here, but basically it involves killing other players, killing your wingmen, collectiong ranson, collectiong bounties, and finding secret buried treasure hidden throughout the game. Arrrrrrr!!!!!!
