Ben Zwycky Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 OK, the new season is upon us, and the fleet match time is a whole lot more flexible, so everyone post all the possible times you can be online to compete, so we can determine when we can put together a valid team. put all your times in GMT for ease of understanding I can make 1800-2100 GMT any weekday, 0800-2100 GMT on Saturdays, 0800-1500 and 1830-2100 GMT Sundays, except where arranged social events intervene (unpredictable) but I need at least 48 hours warning to arrange things for playing outside the 1830-2100 window.

Omega Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I can make Mon-Thurs from 2300 - 2900 GMT, Friday from 2300 - 0800 (Saturday), Saterday from 1700 - 0800 (technically Sunday morning), and Sunday from 1700 - 2900. Yowzers, that was a pain to change to the correct time format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane_Marlowe Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I can probably make M-F from about 2400 (6pm Central) to about 0400 (10pm Central), or Weekends from about 2pm GMT (8am Central) to...as late as is reasonable. Out of these times, I'm available, but being a married man whose work life doesn't stay at work (I'm a teacher) I can probably stay for at most 2-3 hours per practice or match. Also, Omega (Krasus) has been updated in the ISS Fleet Forums so that he's got lvl 1 access, but I really think our own ISS members start at lvl 3 don't they? At least lvl 2 as cadets, lvl 3 when they get cleared for full command, and lvl 4 as veterans (at 3+ kills, or so I'd thought). Do you want me to boost his access?

Rip Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I am cool with the same times as Zane. Except when I have jobs to complete, like this weekend ended up being. I WILL be playing next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Zwycky Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yeah, give him level 2, level 1 is for those who are too lazy to participate. Level 3 he can earn fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Zwycky Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Patience paid off. The DSL company I was going to apply to today just started a special offer- 12 month contract at 1024/256 DSL for 890Kc(40$)/month and reduced setup costs. I applied. I have my new monitor and desk, should have the new computer by the end of the week. Bring on the battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane_Marlowe Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 That means all four of us will have fast connections and worthy gaming rigs. I see good things in store for ISS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Zwycky Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Yeah, well the DSL will be set up and activated sometime within the next 10-15 days, what with demand for new connections and all, but that'll still be in time for the start of the season. Beware all our enemies. I see that You guys are all signed up on the team(we're the only team with more than one member listed) OK, so that's all of us from 1830-2100 GMT on Weekends and you three from midnight to 4am GMT Weekdays. That's pretty flexible, I'd say. If this other thing works out we may be able to make some other weekday times with a valid team (me and one other guy, who I'm working on) ISS is getting ready to rumble!!!!

Zane_Marlowe Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 All four of us are on the GALCOM.Net team registry, and I've been working a little with Omega to get him up to speed. He's got a good rig and is coming along quickly. I've still got to bump him up to L2, but he's absorbing ISS' tactical philosophy quickly and already knows what he needs to know about maneuvering and fighting his ship. When are we practicing next?

Ben Zwycky Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 That'll be this Saturday from 1830. Good work, Zane. If you can get some practise in with Omega on mp before then, then we can get him up to Level 3 very quickly, and we can start on some new level 3 stuff I've been working on (and a little level 4 for you). I noticed your impressive after action report from a month back. If you have any fp tricks to share, then put them in an L3 doc and we'll see if we can practise them sometime. What's happened to the logos? I can't see them. btw, Rip, you need to update your profile (or at least put the link in your sig to your UC profile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Zwycky Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I was referring to the sig logos. Strange. Rip, it gives you a different id no. for the new profile. You knew that, didn't you? Anyway, if we had our own fleet mp server (a max. 4 players one would be enough for most purposes, a max 8 players one would be wonderful) we could do all this classified training without the chance of someone spying on us, but maybe that's asking a bit much. I can always dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 So how can I see what all my ID #s are? I don't see why we can't have our own MP server at some point. I mean I have everything but the server itself. I'll have to see about setting something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Zwycky Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 woo-hoo! woo-hoo! woo-hoo! woo-hoo! woo-hoo! :ahem: nice to hear If you go to www.3000ad.com/register and login, view profile it'll tell you the ID(it's at the end of the url) or you can update that profile to reflect your current system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 When I go there it has the proper profile information. Just it isn't reflected here. It shows the old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Zwycky Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Some of my tricks didn't work because my computer was going really slow. I realise now that I had the second monitor connected I also made some pretty basic tactical errors when I was taking you and Krasus on at once, hence my demise. We'll have to practice that 2 on 1 again next Saturday, and I'll try and do better. I still have some more little tricks to share, Zane, some of which I mentioned in passing at the session. Did you get my email, Nick? I didn't get a reply from you. Post the times when you are available to be on-line and we can organise some training for you. (You and I should be able to meet up sometime at least, since we're in the same time zone.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I thought we were sharpening our battle tactics today? Seems I'm always a day late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Zwycky Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Never mind. Next time, Saturday 22nd January (this coming Saturday) from 1830 GMT (about noon for you?) Nick? when can you make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
