Had a gg with Dib a min ago. Flew a CB vs a Fd7K or was it an FDW? Been a while since I played a straight up match with a Fed vs a Klink. gg

Sorry about last night guys. My modem turned off and wouldn't reboot for nearly an hour. Not sure whether it was me or my ISP.

Using OP+ 4.0 for this, or a campaign shiplist?

Great games tonight everyone, had lots of fun

Yeah... some of those games reminded me of the great D2 fights of yesteryear. I heard DH over TS gushing about how GSA was so awesome and such compared to D2 fights... but one thing I didnt point out was that GSA fights, while fun and convenient, lack that imminent and unnerving feeling you have of losing your ship on the D2 which counts for something greater than just the single throw away matches that have little meaning other than instant gratification... I prefer D2 where the fights have consequences far beyond just a gg... Not the same feeling and attachment on GSA. Sure it's fun... but I feel so detached. I'll take D2 over GSA anyday.

Thats why they are called Fun games Dizzy.

League games had that intensity your missing. fighting battles for months then trying to beat out your rival or top team for first down to the last minute. Fedx vs KHH and 3rd Fleet vs MoK come to mind as intense down to admins telling the players to stop fighting the ladder was over. (sounds like some D2s I've been on) Figuring out people ships skills and tactics like 3rd Phoenix's Star Castle, or Jacoby's C7 SSAssix Gorn or GTs Peetie and Wild Weasels Hydran Creep. You had universally good pilots and guys that were nearly unbeatable in certain ships.

This game over the years has lended itself to all kinds of games. Casual (hang out people), Fun Gamers, Leaguers, D2s. I just dont compare them, they are all variations on a theme.

Thing about GSA games is there is no break in PvP and invariably players begin to learn other players tendencies and the games get better over time. Games evolve and get more challenging as peoples tactics vs (insert name) gain greater understanding. They learn to fly not only against the ship your in but against the pilot in the ship or sometimes inspite of the ship. lol

Yeah, D2 fights have greater meaning... they mean you lost the hex to Drone cruisers while you were "wasting your time" fighting a human.

Yeah, we need PvP scripts to give 2 or 3 DV shifts instead of 1. That'd fix that. ED?

Me too.. haha, boy do I have some serious repolishing to do though... hope you guys can be patient while I find my old stride.

I knew I was in trouble when I started making stupid ship choices. Someone saying 175 late just doesn't bring up a listing of what I should take anymore in my head.

I'll work on it

D2 has become work, GSA is fun. I get what you're saying though, the GSA battles are like playing poker with no money. When the stakes are higher, so is the sweet taste of the victory.

This is why I want to do some kind of turn-based war with regulated ship production and PvP the primary objective. This way we can have PvP that means something.

More people show up on GSA each night than we had on the last D2 server. That has to say something.

10 to 1, I'm serious. From what I recall this isn't possible, hopefully I'm wrong.
