would it be possible to move the fighter fix link to item 6 of the instructions on page 1 to make a tad easier to locate? I'd hate to lose some one who may be a wee more impatient than I am when it comes to locating all the files....I want all the old guys to have it easy.....and I be one of them! lol

Tomorrow Im gonna make i am gonna update TheForgeScripts2.exe with the fighter fix, so new users can just DL those 2 files, but its late tonight which is why I'll wait till I get up tomorrow.

TheMetDizzyAssault closes as soon as the mission loads. Probably need to pull it serverside.

ok, will do in the morning.

no gorn ships in dockyard but can still be bought at OCI.You can also resup had no other problems yet. I like that  the ai try to to cap  but some of those 3v1 with them gets a little harsh but still very do-able .Nice job so far guys.Kudos to Dave.Oh. I think for the numbers the dv 100 is a bit much 50 wouild have been better I think.

I have tried to dl the second forge scripts pack half a dozen times and I keep getting an error saying the file contains invalid data. Anybody else having this problem show up?

Can't remember if the Dizzy missions had any special shiplist requirements or not (that would explain the instant-close) but I'll go through the mission list posted in the QA forum and see if there are others that may be a concern

Nope.
How are we ever going to answer your challenge if you don't show up...? 

[FPF-Thrain]

trying the dl by another method. I'll have an answer in a sec. I think DAP was the problem.

Krueg you just have your folks line up with thier clocks in hand. I'll have my q-tips and alchohol ready, lol.

[FCM_SFHQ_XC]

Several missions pulled serverside, and now server is back up from a reboot


EDIT: A few of those map errors(the few neutral hexes with Econ) and plantes in Nebs have been removed, but the way the map editor works, you need to run a mission in those hexes to show up when you view the map inside the game.

Will need to do an edit on the OCI Kills area. I posted a kill that wasnt worth any points. I thought specialty ships like NCD+ were worth points. Sry bout that.

While attempting to connect to the campaign, I logged in with no problems.  I joined a race, put in a simple name, and tried to join that race.  I received a message stating there was "an unknown error while logging on" .  I backed out, relogged to dyna but it wont log me into dyna now.  Any suggestions?

amendment:  It appears I have logged on as Gorn on the OCI interface.  Perhaps I got ghosted as the game never started when I tried that.??

Gorn..?!? 
I don't see you showing as longged in tho, just listed in the roster.

[FPF-Thrain]

I had that happen on the last incarnation of The Forge. I wound up having to create a new account. I think your idea on the ghosting is probobly right as the is what happened to me prior to experiencing the same symptom.

[Dfly]

Ya Krueg,  GORN.  I had done that prior to reading the private message lol.

Any chance of just getting that Gorn one erased?

How did you manage to create a new account?  I cant even seem to do that.  Strike that, I have found another of my accounts and tried logging in with that.  I got logged into dyna, tried to join Thor, and instead of getting in I still get the full coundown.

I got in now, and I think I know why I did not before, and maybe others have had problems.  I shut down the OCI .  Perhaps it keeps you logged in with that and you cannot change accounts and get back in while you are on that site.  I am in now with my secondary account.

Anyone mind if that Gorn account is there?  I wont use it, unless there seems a real blowout and I feel switching sides is valid at that time.

OCI wont like it if your using any of the controls in Player Controls while you attempt to log in, but if your like viewing the OCI General Info functions, then It shouldnt .

I'm sorry but I gotta push for a hvy iron rule
2 BB
3 DN
and a light cruiser
a little excessive considering there is only 3 of us on

[Mazeppa]

Fleeting Rules
Capital ships may not fleet together.  Fleets may consist of no more than one Capital ship and two other ships.  All fleet are required to have a CA Command Cruiser if the fleet contains 3 ships.

I had a B10 and a D5D, and bought a D5K, I think.  I had read the rules, but failed to properly process the term "CA Command Cruiser", thinking that the B10 was an appropriate command ship. Lord K reminded me of the rule on fleets.

 I sold the D5K and bought a D5L, which I hope counts as a Ca command ship. 

Pray, what is the rationale in requiring a Ca command Cruiser when a BB is involved in the fleet? 

I'll comply, of course, and i don't have a problem with the rule, but just want to know why the distinction. 

Thanks!

I'll agree, I would read it as a CA command ship or larger is needed.   

But wouldn't any command ship work for it's size and smaller.  A frigate wing of two frigates and a frigate leader should be alright, as you still have a true command ship, alabit a small one.  But I can live with the need for a hull size 3 or 2 command ship for a three ship fleet, sounds reasonable.

[marstone]

A side question, I was told before when I was flying two ships in the Frag game that it is an understood rule that you only fly one ship.  But I see a few that fly two or three.  What is the rule on this.  I prefer the single ship myself, but sometimes when you have a big target it is nice to have a few to back yourself up with. 

Just wondering.

[marstone]

okay have to throw one more out there.  Who made the SFB ship and fighter lists.   Some of the entry dates for ships and fighters are way off.  The Klinks have the B10 but the Feds do not have the BCG that came out 18 years before the B10.  The Fed CB was 20 years before the B10. But it has a few years to go yet.

I am slowly going through a list and trying to get them to match up with the years in SFB and the ship systems also (they have been off alot).  But the ship and fighter list being used is a good start.  (lots of questions on this ship edit program and how SFC does things in general, but slowly learning it.)
