[knightstorm]

Well I've just finished uploading the first of what I hope will be several OP matches on to youtube.  I personally think that we should get as many people doing this as possible in order to attract new blood to the community.

Yes, I was the fed, but it was a DNW not a battleship.
It had a total engine power of 60.

F1 view is your friend 

I had a drive fail in my RAID 0 setup.   I'll be back online once I get the PC operational

[knightstorm]

F1 view is your friend 

F1 view gets me killed because I misjudge the range of the plasma chuckers.

I'm not much for castling but that battle was fun. Okay, castling as a team is fun.


This is so much better than those default cruddy incompatible .rec films... thanks Knight!

This isn't the original video.  The original one was clearer, but I had to downgrade the video to upload onto youtube.  I have dialup, so this was the best I could do.  It was still a nightmare for me to upload.

[Don Karnage]

eekkkk dial up 

how can you play on line with dial up?

[FCM_SFHQ_XC]

how can you play on line with dial up?

OP was designed to run on dialup.. when I was on dialup as well I even hosted a few times, hosting a 3v3 on dialup usually is OK

[Don Karnage]

i should  have remember that op is a old game and was build during the dial up time

Looks good.It is good thing it is not me flying that BB or Diehard would have my head.I don't fly those things to well.

[Aldaron_Nirantani]

OK
1) I haven't played SFC in ages
2) I only watched the first 2 parts

Am I missing something or was that a loooong drawn out battle of DN/BB's doing a whole lot of firing at long range with short range weapons and barely scratching the shields?

A lot of these matches tend to go that way since no one wants to close on plasma.  Generally, a 3 on 3 will be both sides taking pot shots at each other until someone makes a mistake and dies.  That happens during part 3.

[Roychipoqua_Mace]

Yes, and also a lot of the time, there isn't great communication between all of the players in a 3v3 - text only most of the time, and some players don't like to talk to their teammates! So you don't want to go in for the ultimate alpha strike only to have your two wingmen stay back and not know what's going on, letting you go in alone and take all the heat.

These long range firefights can be good when the sides are differently abled.
Ex: they have 3 crunch ships, like plasma or Hydrans, and our side has maybe one plasma and mostly longer-range direct, so we can't afford to go in close until something else happens, like one of them strays out alone. It's funny when the other team might have all plasma and maulers and they complain that we are running too much, expecting us to just walk up and take their firepower!

Because that's what you're supposed to do.  Now, come to think of it, I feel sleazy for flying with you.

Fine, I guess it's been nice knowing ya.

If you expect people to run right up to you and let you unload on them, perhaps you should learn how to play the game. The sleazy remark is pathetic.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but Knight definitely was.

As Roy pointed out, I was making a sarcastic comment directed against the people who do believe that.  Also, the sleazy remark falls under the category of good natured teasing.
