That was an interesting match. You don't know how surprised I was when that BB turned a full 180 degrees and I was caught at close range! I thought it was funny that the freighters pulled some sucker-punches when you were cleaning up at the end.

The best part was where I had Mace's NHK on my tail the way back home in a very beat up BB. And this is where it gets fun.



Um...you asked him to draft you in 6,18 after you talked about how beat up you were in chat, which you weren't, as I saw when you drafted me the mission before...he wasn't "on your tail"  ::)
But at least you told him GG in your post...you're getting better... ;)

lOOK, i'M NOT BRAGGING. oops caps. I mean I was in a BB and he was in a CA. But fact was that I was at half hull. U cant see that in battle if my systems are repaired, but my hull boxes were toast. No spares, low supplies. Man I think my compliment of marines was around 5 after that battle. I coulda been capped. Only reason I mentioned it... cmon, how many times has someone performed and made a HET iun a BB?  :o

Yesterday, I signed in with a  Klingon droner account for flipping hexes, so my main account would still keep the same ship (Romulan). Today, I tried signing back on with my main Romulan account and I reached the character/race selection screen, instead of the Forge map. Did I delete my current ship or something like that?

Thanks for any help. I had a KCN to fight off Dizzy and I don't want to lose that and all of the PP of this account  :).

Double check to see that the CASE of the email you are entering for the original account matches what you used originally. If that does not help, let me know and I'll check the db for email accounts you specify to me in a PM.

Bonk - thanks a ton! Making sure the first letter of the email was capitalized fixed the problem completely.

Skip the DB clean. It's the only thing the alliance has to slow down the coalition.  :laugh:

I suggest the next forge have no alliances, or change them up from the traditional. There just aren't enough alliance members willing to put in any time on such a server.

All this has happenned before. All this will happen again.  :(

No alliances does not really work out. (unless we have a working set of "total war" missions)

Non-traditional alliances does not really work out either, as it usually leads to balance issues traceable to deviating from the extensive history of sfb playtesting. (though can work with careful construction, but is still risky wrt balance issues)

Of course that does not help with balance due to lopsided teams like we've been getting with the traditional alliances lately.

You've got me thinking about it for next round though. Or perhaps other twists or mechanisms to address the issue. More suggestions are welcome.

db clean coming up.

edit: db cleaned, server up.

Neutral zone nebula hexes, 3 deep. All the way across the middle of the map. DV 100. Regular alliances.  Develope all the space on your side first or let your droners chew away for 300 missions to open a channel to PvP. No bases allowed to be planted in these hexes. :popcorn:

Maybe KBF flies Alliance and show ya how it's done?   ;D

 :buck2: :buck2:

You guys had us stalled with heavy PvP for a couple weeks, then ya just fell apart there and we steamrolled.
What happened? We were having a blast...
It's really coming down to a handful of nutters, not like we have a huge number of regular players, just a few guys with 5-6 accounts each.
Shoot, I've got 6 myself, one for each race and 3 Klingon.

Maybe work with the guys with smaller PP amounts, work toward a goal or something, rather than tell them "do whatever you want, just have fun because it's lopsided now".
Offer to wing with them in your BB while they fly a CL and rack up some missions, get on TS with them, encourage them, make it fun to fly with someone...
Help them earn some PP so they can enjoy the bigger ships, too.
Saw a conversation pretty much just like that in Gen chat today between 2 Fed players.
Rather than brushing off the newer player, I would have offered a wing, showed them the ropes, answered their questions and I'll bet you'd see that same player back the next day...and the next.
I do it all the time...
see how that works...?  ;)

been there done that, and that also,and of coarse that, what it comes down to is they just don't want to play don't know if its me or they don't have the time or the will but rest assured I will always be there to foil your plans the best I can. :knuppel2:
