As far as server set up, or you running a Linux based server or Windows? If Linux, that is what we are using too, and with limited support it was hard for us to get info on how to set up certain configurations, but we've got it sorted now and running almost perfectly, but of course this didn't happen overnight. So if you're on Linux give us a shout and we should be able to provide you with most of the answers that you may need.

Anyhow, as I said, good games last night, and looking forward to plenty more.

Nice job guys.

Good playing with you guys tonight on your server, some nice messy scraps had by all.

One thing I will say is that you need to get the thing set up correctly, there are a few threads on this subject around the forums. First off you have got to get the team swap sorted out for the second round, nothing annoys more than having to play the same faction on the same map again. Also have it only run two times on each map, as tonight the majority of map changes had to be instigated by map vote. Another bone of contention is Friendly Fire, but this is optional depending on what camp you are in. My personal preference (at least in First Strike) is to have FF off, just because you get so much hassle and whatnot from team kills for everything from people walking into your mines to another starfighter (speaking of which, where are those space maps?) crashing into you to someone jumping out your speeder while it is still moving, the accidental TKing just annoys so much that some people decide to leave it off, and judging from the number of negative scores on the server tonight a lot of people were suffering because of this.

Well I hope you take all this under advisement, All said and done we had some cracking games tonight, the server runs smooth and you guys are a fun bunch to pay with and I look forward to more of the intense battle action that we saw tonight.

Later guys.

Hi Talon we have been trying to set up the server correctly and Gwynzer was advising us but we had no luck yesterday setting the rounds or team swap.We'll have another look hopefully today and i'll have a look for the threads in this forum.
Had some great games though last night esp on Mos Entha:)
As for FF we as a clan have always had it ON and i doubt very much that that will change.We just want the server tp have the conquest style maps for now too

I'm just a layman player, so I accept that I may be technically wrong, but when I'm spreading the word about First Strike, I describe it as a new, free game based on the 2142 engine.

Well since you still need to buy 2142 to play the game then it aint really free Although I like your thinking and agree that this is a completely seperate game. Pity that it couldnt be released as such without LA wanting money, Dice wanting money, Devs coming under too much pressure to deliver to a set date....

BTW, gonna start coming back more regularly now the excitement with the daughter has died down

Oh and welcome Stryker

but just give us a bit of time before you hand us our asses on a plate!lol!

Aye, but if we wait too long you'll be handing us ours!

Eyup Stryker. I've had many an enjoyable game on your BF2 and 2142 servers, and JohnLocke's been on my buddy list for ages. I'll have to get the rest of you on...

Good to see you all getting into this brilliant game (incidentally, will everybody stop calling First Strike a mod – it's a whole new game FFS!). Spread the word.

From what I've seen on RT's server, UKWF seems to have at least half a dozen members playing FS. Are you guys up for a friendly scrim?

Actually, same goes for DS (who seem suspiciously reticent despite repeated overtures... I mean, they've got SamZi, Omen66 and Gwynzer, so what are they worried about? Ooh, fighting talk! ), ASF, FF, ECC or anybody else who can cobble together five or six players at the same time and place...

Hi Rabid John,my good buddy Stryker is my latest convert to FS,in all i think around 20 UKWF guys have downloaded FS and the following have started playing regularly so look out for

We'll def be up for a scrim at some point as i already said to JimWalker but just give us a bit of time
before you hand us our asses on a plate!lol!

To put it this way, it's far more different from BF2142 than BF2142 is from BF2 .

I've played mods of quite a few games, and they were just that: modifications of the original games. First Strike is promoted as a "total conversion", and my impression from playing it is of a game that goes way beyond my previous experience of mods. I'm just a layman player, so I accept that I may be technically wrong, but when I'm spreading the word about First Strike, I describe it as a new, free game based on the 2142 engine.

Call it what you like. The main point is that First Strike is bloody brilliant!

Sorry about hijacking the thread with a discussion of semantics...

E(incidentally, will everybody stop calling First Strike a mod – it's a whole new game FFS!). Spread the word.

In its Current state, its currently a modification.  However Soon™ it will be classed as its own game.
