Re: what we need

I like this idea but for now, with such a limited playerbase, I dont think this can work.

Re: what we need

It can work with limited players .
And will provide a catalyst for those players to form into larger games .
When people see the larger engagements being played , they will want in on the fun .
Battles will be fought weekly, and peices on the starmap get moved once a day, max.
Provides a focal point for the game while the developers finish their work of art .
I will ramp-up development of the trial.
We shall see how it goes in the next week or 2.

Re: what we need

i would think it works best with a small player base. once a week large battles will be much easier to keep track of.

unfortunately for the mod the past few months have seen many great games released.  Quake Wars, UT3, Crysis, COD4 and TF2.  Most people are probably playing those games and I fear the playerbase may never recover.  I hope I'm wrong.

Quake wars had potential but they they messed it up

Re: what we need

Sounds like a great idea! I'm about to get my new computer parts (if they ever get delivered...UGH!) and i will have more time on also (well, if i can get my internet fixed...ARG!) once i install 2142/FS on my other computer. I think organized battles and teams is a great idea, and it might end up as a big part of the mod maybe with its own inspired maps...cool!

Curses, foiled again!
