Well guys, V-hour has arrived and the Day of the Eagle is over.

I'd like to take this chance to thank everyone that made DOE a lot of fun. (At, least, a lot of fun for those that enjoyed it.

) I have to make a special thanks to Dave and Tracey who used their private time to give me missions for my server. They also gave me lots of their time compiling and recompiling missions, sometimes while a wife was tapping her foot impatiently because it was "time to go!". I hope the experiences from DOE help them get their scripts exactly the way they want them. There is some cool work there, and I want to play more of them in future servers.

But the biggest thanks has to go to the players. So thanks for all your time, all your comments, and all your dead carcasses I left strewn across the stars. (I won't mention the times I ran off the map; clearly those don't count since the sun was in my eyes.) I hope people like the new toys, the new missions (even the one that showed up too much.....) and maybe the chance to fly a new race. My apologies that Gamespy never got their act and their chat server back together. The D2 remains an evolving product and one that all of you make a joy to work with.

At this point, it's pretty clear the Roms won. I'll get the points counted and give you an exact total soon, but tonight I just gotta sleep. Congrats on a job well done.

Now, Dizzy, get to work! hee hee. You've got a game to start, and I want to play regularly for a change.

-Herr Burt

Many thanks to you Herr Burt, for a wonderful and challenging server. You certainly put in the quality time on this one. It was nice to be able to scrape off the rust and finally play SFC2 in a multiplayer Dynaverse campaign.

That which doesnt kill you, probably hurts an awful lot.

I should say Thank You Herr Bert!!
I had one heck of a fun time. to those 3 people who let me co-op with them thank You
It was great fun learning how to fly a BRICK.

Now where's that FED Express Flight back to the Hydran Kingdom. I need to make a full report

Thanks Herr Burt,

Had alot of fun, and you gave us all some new things to consider for the future. Drougues were quite a fun change of pace, and I hope we can see some more of them on future servers. Thanks for pioneering them for us.

Dizzy · « **Reply #4 on:** April 07, 2003, 01:54:37 am »

nonono... TY! DOE turned out to be quite a surprise... Small fun servers like this should be all the rage... I think I may break SG3 into 2 servers that run back to back... Each lasting 6 weeks... J/k ISC Inv and RDSL <snicker>

Several regrets was my late arrival on the server. This was due to my work on mine... which has stalled shortly awaiting news on missions... Looking real good so far tho. And the other was that I almost wrote off DOE after I lost nearly all my prestige b4 I learned how to rake in the cash. That all changed after I learned that the Courrier mission was a diamond in the rough and that PvP could be so rewarding... Was I the only player who got 3036 Bonus prestige for offing 2 romulan baddies in PvP? WOW! The pp shocked the [censored] out of me after that! I went PvP hunting crazy from then on out!

Turned out to be a very memorable and fun week for me overall and I relished that hourlong battle with Damaged, his RHK and my lil CLC slugged it out in a nebula for what seemed like forever... You know... Plasma R should have ammo or something... it's continous use is just insane...

And shame on you for not going into overtime... I think the feds/gorns coulda won that... Er in fact the surely would have!

Anyway, S'Cipio, I had a blast. And thankls for all the effort from you and ur team.

The ftrlist hasn't been alterred much on SG3... Perhaps Chuutritt if you would care to start another thread and enlist Herrburts help, we could port over some fighter/drogue ideas to SG3...

I kinda liked seeing the A-10, F14/15/16/18 fighters in the lineup... Anyone else like that/want to see that in SG3?

TOCXOBearslayer · « **Reply #6 on:** April 07, 2003, 06:36:28 am »

I would love to see that in SG3. Drogues and the other fighters.... question is.... can we implement them without changing races around? ie giving Feds the Lyran UI.

I would also like to say thank you for the server HB, although I also was a relatively scarce commodity on the server.

Still I liked the concept and play. Those tholians were just plain nasty.... heh-heh.

SOSGuderian · « **Reply #8 on:** April 07, 2003, 02:53:33 pm »

Thanks very much for the server, Herr Burt. I found it both challenging and fun.

About the only thing I didn't like was the frequency with which I drew the "Courier Intercept" mission. That was an expecially heinous draw in nebulas vs. Gorn opposition.

Well, that's not true. The increased fighter strength and squadron loadouts made using a carrier or fighting carriers as a Rom an almost impossible task. I suspect the Gorn who had to fight fighter swarms had similar problems, though they didn't have to fight the Fed fighters. There just wasn't enough PD to go around, even with a PlasD drogue. If you flew a Romulan carrier, you could almost always expect to be fighting 2-3 enemy carriers in fleet missions and that was just death, plain and simple.

As far as drogues went, I hardly ever used mine. Employing them just didn't really fit my style of play.

Thanks also to those adversaries that showed up. Most of the time you were heavily outnumbered, but you did your part to still manage to make it an interesting place to play.

All things considered, the server was fun. I wish I had been able to play more. I never did get to the point where I could afford an R-SUB or R-SUK.

Did I make it fun???!!!

I mean, I did play the last 5 minutes of it!!

Great game Scipio. DoE ranks up actually above 4P due to the very new (to sfc) concepts you added.

Remiak · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2003, 07:18:25 pm »

Herr Burt,
Ever since you mentionned your intention to run a "Day of the Eagle" campaign, I have been looking forward to it.
Many thanks for having delivered this great opportunity for us to have fun.
Well done sir.
Thanks

Aye the server was a blast,nice job HB.
Special TY to Dizzy who no matter how many times I kill him he always comes back for another death<snickers>

Damaged · « **Reply #17 on:** April 08, 2003, 01:11:42 am »

Thanks HB. I think I played for about the second half of the campaign and it was pretty cool... too bad there weren't more players on it. I still have a lot to learn about flying Rom in PvP and didn't get many opportunities.

Having a drogue was great in the SPA+, although I found myself not using one at all once I got out of that ship. I agree that leader variants were extremely overpriced considering they matched up vs a hull size larger than the line variant. Just ask Chuut about the RGK he lost when I drafted him in my RHK... all in all I think the mission matching was manageable if you were careful to run coop on the tougher mission draws and careful about who drafts in coop. I liked the fact the campaign runtime was short with specific VCs.

The strangest part was hanging out on RW with players that have always been enemies in every past D2 campaign... I'm used to the native Roms, but not the KATs and KOTHs! Think I spent more time flying with Chuut than anyone else on this server, hehe.

Anyway, good server HB!

Oh Agave you big Poofta,

Only Evil Dave's freighters saved you

I guess the first round is on me next time, If I could only get you to drink a Beer this time ,,,,,

unstead of your usual...

KATChuutRitt · « **Reply #23 on:** April 09, 2003, 02:26:35 am »

I think he meant another mission where he ran after I escorted my freighters to a Romulan base Damaged, but its nice to see that he ran from a newbie female as well...

Makes me feel better knowing this since he did manage to get his freighters to help him kill my ship in that nasty ED convoy mission.

No offense Cleo , I'm sure you are a good pilot , esp if you chased the big bad Gorn off the map
