Idea for SSIII (almost certainly will start a flame war . . .)
« on: September 02, 2006, 02:40:35 pm »
There has been some concer about allying the Klingons with the Kzinti (okay, some whining from t00l) because it puts all the fast-misions droners on one side.   Since SS2 had slightly different racial alliances than SS1, why not flip another race?

Swap the Kzinti for the Feds.   F-K-G-L versus H-Z-R-I.

Flame away   ;D

I don't see an issue....

Other than putting the two largest player groups we have left on the same side...

Wasnt there a server where the feds and klinks vs everyone else? I did a map like that once but when I was done the blue and red blobs just ate each other on the map and I got an error message.

Actually if you give the F-NCD a 100% HET it will probably solve the issue.

If we look at fleets, we'll see that the active are as follows. And god help me if I missed a major fleet, I'll never hear the end of it.
SSCF (I'm not even sure these guys are active because of EVEcrack but they did make SGO6)
F1AF
XC
FPF
FSD
GDA
KBF
KHH
KAT/KOTH

While there are loose unaffiliated people, what you just proposed is that every major fleet still around, minus KAT, and maybe KHH be on one side, asssuming normal preferences. I think you're quite lost it. Hell I turn 21 today, what the heck are you drinking I might wanna try it.

There was an attempt at that... iirc, the KBF didn't fly klink, but on the opposite of the Feds and the SSCF guys quit over it....

KHH and KBF are really the only guys who show up as a fleet any more. You could count XC, but we don't always fly together.

9th did surprise us and make a good showing for the start of SGO6, but they kind of petered off towards the end.

**cough**

FSD tends to still fly a lot together, we will divide our numbers if a server requires more of an even mix of numbers or talent, I mean really how fair would Lyran Civil war be (if it happens) if all the elite Lyran players fly on the same side... I mean really ;D

What about a t-bomb only server, where we start everyone as allies?

OK, maybe everyone but Hexx.

Any ideas as to when? Guessing will not be first two week of Sept since SGO VI just ended. I'll cross my paws for Jan 07 as I will be at sea until end of the year...

He'll do it too.

He seems to think it's funny to drop his wing's ESG's right before an overrun, or when you've used your phasers and
set teh ESGs up for drone defence.
(though that one may have been Bear...)


Used his hellbores to drop my ESG's right before an overrun.It's all fun and games until you're about to overrun something with a few less ESGs than you had planned on having.

The best part was you had a down shield, so you actually took internals.
