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...?  ;)

*deposits 2 cents*

Great that you saw that chat today.(yesterday) No point in making a deal out of that this far down the line. Server outcome is decided, morale is low and I wasn't on for long, we were on opposite sides of map. etc.etc.etc. Your point would be more interesting at the start of a server, not the end if I had coalition nutter type time available. Your point to offer help would be more interesting if people who signed up alliance wise actually showed up. By the way, for never signing up, I made an effort. Try inspiring some kind of committment out of those others to show up first. The frustrated few who try to give you a game don't need this crap, whether you use smileys or not to soften  the blow. >:(

I assume the Forge is back up in another incarnation of sorts... SG will be delayed due to my hectic work schedule. At least there is a server up to play on atm. If work lets up I'll post an update on my progress for the sg server...

Noticed sometimes slow movement on the map the past couple days, sometimes it takes 30 seconds or so before it updates and lets you move to the next hex.
Maybe time for another DB clean...?

Great run this time.  Any chance the next reset is the standard F+E Map, with sufficient Home area and siimulated off map Eco areas all at 100/100 to prevent blowouts?  Or even the standard map would be fun.

Has the Forge been restarted?

Your logic is irrefutable, Mr Spock.   :thumbsup:

Db cleaned. Test serverside fix in for Klingon mirv ships (give it five turns or more before buying one to test).

Hi Bonk,

Got on the server yesterday to bone up on my skills and test my new installation. Everything worked well except two missions where my game just froze up on me mid-mission. They were NW missions (Patrol*) where you get two helpers against three ships and the starting map in the briefing screen has the icons almost stacked on top of each other. I wish I could give you the real names, but I had to do a hard reboot both times to get out of it. Fun otherwise though!

ive had this happen several times over the past 6+ months...

happens more often if i launch SFC from GSA...

maddy has also had the same issues since coming back as well...

he and i both running XP...so dunno if its a Windows issue or not...

Hmmm, will take a dig and see if I can figure out what's up.   Gotta break the code out at least once a year ;)

Please pull the 3 v 3 (allied?) patrol. It's messed up. Crashed or locked up 3 times this week and once it ended early saying i had completed the mission and then booted me to a base and took my ship away as if it has been destroyed. (No bethke required)  >:(

OK, tonight I will take a look at the following:

- usual db clean
- another look at OP+4 Klingon MIRV ships
- identify and yank an (allied?) 3vs3 patrol
- confirm deadmans accounts (I can't recover gamespy logins for you though, try the lost password feature there). Deadman, identify a new account for me and about how much PP it should have to top up tonight in case you cannot recover your old accounts.
- think about next run...

anything else I should cover tonight?
