As long as the saves don't lag too far behind I can wait for the videos.

Looks like I changed my signature just in time - the hostilities HAVE begun! :twisted:

Go ahead and run 'em if you'd like :D but yeah, pace yourself. Keep the excitement up, you know? Too much at once and it's over too quick.

I say move on, but that's because I'm not too interested in the videos.

Well.... RL struck about the same time the forums went down. When I finally get a break from RL, 20 pages have been posted and the winner of the pre-match hadn't been posted on the front page :shock: After going through all the pages, I finally figure out who won. :evil: Congrats Aro. I honestly didn't expect the Ospreys to go after the fighters. :o Next time I'll have to make sure I design my fleet from the AI's viewpoint. Que es, es. :P

Right Olterin, and thanks to Wildjames for his spectacular post match comments, though Aro seems a lil clean for someone in a mud slinging sortie.

Right Doug, we just recieved a report from an inside source that says video documentation will be delayed, but that's a trivial matter for us out here in the stands!

Right John, when did you get back?

Right Doug, just now, I've heard from another inside source that the battles will take place as scheduled but the winners will be a mystery until the videos come out.

Right John, you just made that up! You're high! Can he be in the broadcast booth like that? Yes? This just in folks Spaceweed legal in Teladi sectors! Honey if you're tuned in to this, put the condo up for sale and pack the things, we're moving to Seizewell!

Right Doug, they got the good stuff! This just in an update from Karen! Karen?

Thanks John! Right I'm here live, with an update! The video's will be delayed until further notice but the matches....

Uh, Karen?

Yes Doug?

We already said that part, the fans know about the videos...

Right Doug, can we edit that bit out then?

Right Karen, no we are live

But the outcome is posted on the front page. All you had to do was highlighting the whole post for the results - it's written in Black so you you can't see everything and don't have to use Spoiler tags.

Odd, I thought I had tried to highlight it... My mistake. Pardon me, Monsieur.

:( But I can't, I have a different theme so I can automatically see all the text. Haha oh well, I'm not in the battles anyway, but I do like observing! Really waiting on these videos :D

Same here. Don't log in if you don't want to see the results. The standard theme should lack enough contrast to see the Black. Anyway. If you can't wait for the video download the saves and scripts and run the battle on your own maschine. Especially those 2 battles should be more or less the same on any system; good CPU and videocards recommended.
The saves must be renamed in saves directory in order to be shown in the game.

Right, everything conspiring agenst you're youtubing the stuff. I say go ahead and do the matches, just let us know the results when the videos are ready :)

Have you ever dropped 200 MK2 drones? Well these TM are like 2 fightdrones (2PAC in front and back) but with 600MJ shields each...

The comparison with FDrones II does not work I think. Drones have better generators are much faster and smaller.
The TMs are slow, big and the generators can't take the strain of sustained fire - even PPCs can get a TM.

I'll just say that in my game, dropping any more than a fighter wing into combat from my carrier is very close to murdering my machine :roll: That is, 40 odd fighters, plus my capital ships, plus the 20 odd hostile fighters, plus hostile capital ships, plus sector forces. Something like 100 ships in total? Makes the game almost grind to a halt (not as bad as a megaplex though... heh :roll: ) and some fighters take a bit to respond. I assume that completely removing the OOS calculations taking place at that time, the amount of ships to be processed properly can be safely assumed to be around 250-350, depending on your hardware. I certainly do not want to think what would happen if you had that many ships... on each side :o

I've a pretty cruddy machine here (and I mean cruddy) but 40 fighters wouldn't cause me too much grief - You do kill off all unecessary processes before playing yes? IF I didn't do that I do struggle to play.

BUT I do think in future variants of this we should severely restrict ship quantities for everyone, well everyone but me I mean... :wink:

Carry on playing the matches. Personally, I'd still like to know the results. But, I am not too stressed if the majority want to wait.

But, since all the first round matches are independent I don't see the need to hold off announcing winner of round 2 before round 1's video has been loaded (etc).

I think we'd be best off to wait till each round is finished and uploaded to youtube before results are shown. Keep everyone's attention that way.

But the videos better get here soon, I'm running out of sportscast dialogue! lol (jus teasin take yer time TJ)

Well... I do hope the videos start coming soon - if we have a 2-week wait for every match... :gruebel:


Ideally, I'd say run the first round matches, then get all first-round vids up, (we gotta have something to talk about and examine how AI plays), only then move to second round.

Stupid Internet/Youtube! I'm going to try again tonight. As for the results of the Mutiny vs Le Baron match, I'm a bit confused as to what people want. Do you guys want me to post the results and saves even if there is no video?

Unless the video problem is really impassable, then I'd rather wait for a video before the next match. Reason being, I personally would want to see how it all happened, not just read the winners name - and recreating the battle with saves etc. is not an option at all, because on different occasions the whole thing can turn out completely differently. Besides, I wouldn't want anyone disputing the official results only because "they won on their own recreation"..

Hmm. Perhaps, if the upload to youtube doesn't work, you can send the vid file directly to one of the people who helped out in this whole thing so they upload it?
