Topic: Community Game, January 3rd

This might be short notice, but as usual we're having our Saturday night Community Game tonight. The time is like always 2100 GMT and the place is DSGaming.net's excellent 64p server.

BattleRecorder will be ON, and don't forget that we have a Ventrilo server as well (IP: 85.236.100.69  Port: 28384)

Yesterday we released a new patch (build 1005), so make sure you use the Launcher and update before you head ingame. I hope to see you there!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who showed up at the CG today. We had some really great games, and maintained a steady 40-45 player population for over 4 hours straight smile

Well, that was one cracking Community Game. Joined at about 23:28, Norwegian time, and left at about 2:40, when Gwyn crashed the server tongue to revert it to regular settings. Had time for some intense fights on several maps.

It's been a while since I've played such intense rounds of Taloraan, but next time keep the fleet ships and freighters together, guys, that's the key to victory big_smile !

I'll load up the BattleRecorder files and look for good screenshot material now. In the meantime, I'll upload some of the ingame shots I took. Pardon the low graphics settings smile .

Yea, that was a fantastic CG. 40+ players for over three hours.

Thanks for some great squad teamplay Samzi, Safe, Woody, and Neko. We had some cracking games.

Re: Community Game, January 3rd

Most memorable rounds have to be the second round of Taloraan and the Bestine rounds.

In the second round of Taloraan, I spawned in a Lancer but realized that there was an unmanned freighter just sitting there, so I left my gunner position and grabbed her instead, for then to catch up with the other freighter and the Lancer. We told people to form up "right off the bat", but only some of us did, and our fleet was destroyed relatively quickly. With only one ship left and the enemy retaining two thirds of its fleet, which it appeared from the minimap that they were trying to form up into one big force, we were sure the battle was lost, but we rallied our fighters around our last remaining ship, a Carrack that would been left in our staging area and braced for battle regardless. Miraculously, we managed to hold off the enemy fighters as the enemy ships, getting overconfident after destroying all but one of our fleet ships threw themselves at the Carrack one by one and were struck down by her proton torpedo barrages and the swarm of TIEs surrounding her.

Bestine led to some intense fights over the City Steppes CP. The Rebs took the CP all right, but were unable to advance much further and I don't know if the next CP fell even once. Both the Imps and Rebs employed nice teamwork and fought with determination, but in the end the Imperials prevailed, or at least managed to keep the Rebs out of their last three CP's. Oh, and if anyone felt annoyed by the constant rain of PMG bolts, that was me (who else?) tongue .


FS is on its way back up, with old players returning and lots of new faces, and it's great to see smile .

Re: Community Game, January 3rd

I hope everyone was taking notes cause we showed em how-it-was-done baby!!! We rocked the game hardcore!  I can't even begin to describe how it all went down because it was this mod at its best.  I'm only sad that I missed the first few games and most the new maps
