Very cool time on Server 4 tonight! It all began after I had logged onto the server and was readying the Aries for a deployement by taking on supplies from Farpoint. Admiral Chavik then logged on and decided to take the Phoenix on an exploratory mission to go as far as he could. I bid him a safe journey as he headed off towards the Castrin jump gate. By the time Chavik reached Foron, the Aries was ready to deploy. I then set course with the Aries to the Castrin jump gate with the purpose of conducting battle maneuvers in Castrin. I noticed at that time that Khan and TSCavalier had logged onto the server. I then noticed that TSCavalier and his ship, the GCV-Agamemnon had just jumped into Tapestran as I was coming out of hyperspace to enter the Tapestran-Castrin jump gate. Knowing that more than likely, TSCavalier was going to engage me, I put Aries on halt and brought her about to face the Agamemnon. TSCavalier than hyperjumped to me and I ordered my tactical officer to lock all weapons onto the Agamemnon. As he came out of his hyperjump, the Aries left loose a volley of weapons fire and the Agamemnon also engaged. In the end, the Aries turned TSCavalier's ship into an exploding inferno. By luck, the Aries didn't have a scratch of damage. At that time, Chavik contacted me that Khan damaged his ship very badly in Raleon. I told him to sit tight and I'd bring the Aries to his position and give him a tow back to Farpoint to repair his damage. My alarm klaxon went off again and I noticed that TSCavalier was back in Tapestran again with the Agamemnon. He again was targeting the Aries and moving toward us. I shook my head and though, "Geez, doesn't he give up?" I again targeted the Agamemnon and once again, when he exited from his hyperjump, a full volley of weapons fire from the Aries destroyed his ship. I ordered my crew to stand down and set course through the Castrin jump gate. Once in Castrin, I set course for Foron. At about that time, I received a transmission from Chavik stating to me to halt for him just outside of the Foron-Raleon wormhole. The Aries went through the wormhole and waited. In a few minutes, the Phoenix, limping slowly with its damage, approached. I then had the tractor beam engaged and locked onto Phoenix and initiated the jump back through the Foron-Castrin wormhole. As the Aries came through the wormhole into the Castrin system with the Phoenix firmly in tow. I noted that Kyle Antilles had just logged on. I told him the situation and asked him to please come to the Castrin system and escort us back to Tapestran. He replied he was enroute. It was then that my alarm klaxons went off and I noticed two Terran military fighters approaching to engage me. In the flurry of excitement that followed, my PTAs were valiantly trying to fight off the fighters. Also, a cloaked vessel was detected nearby. Between the fighters and the cloaked vessels, the Aries began to suffer much damage. In fact so much damage so quickly, that before we knew it we were destroyed..along with the Phoenix. Now that was a very good time I had! I only wish that I could have completed the mission and returned the Phoenix back to Farpoint safely. I'm sure Chavik can fill in the details on what transpired on his side.

quote: One doesn't expect someone friendly to turn and fire. I was fine when he was Galcom.Don't worry, Chavik..I got your back!

quote: Welcome El Che to Balor Fleet as well.Welcome to the Insurgency, El Che! Chavik is a fine man to serve under.

quote: Later (server two) Shingen and I went to Castrin and had a fighter joust. I had my fighters "Fly To" Somaris jumpgate and Shingen had his fighters attack mine. They turned out to be very evenly matched. I was hoping that I would have that one pilot with killer AI but it was not to be.Ahh..that's where you guys went after the Server 4 reset!

quote: P.S. By the way did i get my sig right?Looks good Neograymatter! Hope to see you online!

quote: I am not undermining authority or somethingThe thought never even occured to me, Blyrr! quote: Keep us informedWill do!

quote: Am I the only one left in my fleet?So it seems, Echo, although I do see Andergum lurking about every now and then.

quote: It might be a good idea to have a few seperate divisions (or Wings if you like) within the fleet to cope with timezone issues. A European wing and a US wing for example?It is important to note that Rattler (Insurgent One) and Akira (Insurgent Two) are the leaders of the whole Insurgency. They designed and formed the four Insurgent Fleets. Rattler is currently on assignment in real life and Akira occasionaly pops in. Chavik and I have been keeping the Insurgency alive (with the help of the current fleet members) the best we can. We're sorta the caretakers, if you will, while they are away. I really do not want to mess around with the fleet structure without the authorization of Rattler or Akira. Now, it's not totally out of the question to possibly, and I emphasize possibly, make one of the four fleets into a European fleet. I will see what Rattler or Akira thinks of this. Yes, I do have my eye on the AAR reports that Prime is doing. A very good idea that my help to generate interest in Insurgency and give the members a sort of purpose, even when not online. Good ideas, Blyrr.

quote: How are the Bishamon members devided over the various continents (time zone's and such)?Hmmm, good question, Blyrr. I never really though much about that. I'll have to go over the fleet members and find out. I'm usually on the servers after 9:00PM EST Thursday through Saturdays. The only reason I've been on late the past several days is because I'm on vacation.

Interesting idea on reports there, Bobcat! Also a very good read!

This must be Bishamon Fleet's lucky day....two new members to the fleet! Please welcome Commander Mordax Blyrr to Bishamon Fleet. He'll make a fine addition! Commander Blyrr, feel free to participate in the Insurgent Monthly Rollcall thread.

To keep the Insurgent even more organized, it is my intention to start this New Insurgent Welcome Thread to welcome new insurgents to the Insurgency. Without futher adieu, I'd like to formally welcome Bishamon Fleet's newest member, Commander Neograymatter to the fleet! Commander Neograymatter, you will need to change your sig to match the other Bishamon Fleet members minus the Official Beta Tester part. And, if you haven't already, include your System Profile in your sig. If you have any questions, please by all means let us know.

Greetings, Commander Blyrr! You are more than welcome to join Bishamon Fleet. You just need to go the the Fleet Database and sign up. You can also particapate in the Insurgent Forum as well! Once accepted, please change your sig to match the other Bishamon Fleet members.

Yep..sorta still working on it as time permits. Will get around to more work on it in the coming months. Stay tuned!

Yep..again had a blast last night. Chavik and I were the only Insurgents (aside from Cc who was at one point then changed to UCV). Chavik and I were trying to ambush Marv by coming into Procon from opposite jump gates. I entered Procon from Castrin cloaked, targeted Marvin who was within 35k from and let loose on him. I don't think Marvin knew what was going on, let alone that it was me. Sorry there, Marv! Marvin jumped out of the area just in time before I could finish his imminent destruction muttered something about how he didn't know who was attacking him. I then jumped back to Castrin to plan again with Chavik on the ambush. It was then that Chavik told me that Marvin had just jumped again back to the Castrin-Procon gate. Chavik was too far away on the other side of Procon to get him. I emerged through the Castrin gate into Procon and targeted Marv, who was still in hyperspace, anxiously awaiting to blow him away when he emerged. Unfortunately, due to Marv knowing he was gonna die or due to the usual GalCom protocol of quitting , Marv announced he was logging off and would be back later! Bummer! I couldn't believe it...I was so close! Next time, Marv, Chavik and I will get you! Good stuff indeed!

quote: Before I crashed the server, the Insurgent (I think it was Shohashi) who had made it to Galadran, was passing along tactical information about NPC movements in Galadran. For example, there was an NPC S24 Raven camping the jump gate into Galadran. Of course, being in a Nightstar carrier, I shrugged it off as a pest. Until I jump in. And the bastard destroyed me - because I forgot that I had weapons on hold. I think Sho got him in the end.Yep..had a ball on that little field trip, SC! It's a very rare sight indeed to see Insurgents helping GalCom!

NP, Hasenau...glad to see you!

Good deal, Marvin!

So, no disconnect messages like you and I had on Sunday?

What was cancelled? Enterprise?

quote: I can shoot for say 6:00 or 7:00 PM Central any weekday. I do have my shows though. Monday is Fear Factor, Tuesday not much on, Wednesday is Enterprise and Jake 2.0, Thursday well Survivor wrapped up so don't know, and Friday not much on. You watch the same shows I do! For me, monday is Fear Factor, Tuesday is Navy NCIS, Wednesday used to be Enterprise and Jake 2.0 (but since I went to DirecTV, they don't carry the UPN channel, so I've missed the last 8 episodes!), Thursday was Survivor and Friday is...Stargate. My best times on the servers, El Che is from Thursday through Sunday. Speaking of which, El Che...have you decided upon and Insurgent Fleet to sign on with? Also, you need to fix your sig with your System Profile before the SC catches it!

quote: whoa!! Tremors is my all-time favorite B flick and I didn't know about a #4. Gotta grab that when I go out next.Yep, tis my favorite as well...if you go here you can see preview clips from Tremors 4. quote: I haven't seen a new series on USA in a while, did they can it?Based up what I've read on the SciFi Channel forums, the cancelled it.

Had a good time tonight on the servers with Chavik and Kyle Antilles. What fun!

quote: Wow. I liked the first two didn't know they had three. Time to go to the video store. LOL!Well, Remo...as I posted above there are FOUR movies now. The fourth movie is supposed to be the prequel to the first Tremors.

quote: er ... there are three (3) Tremors movies.Actually, there are 4 movies now! I just bought a copy of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins at WalMart bundled with the original Tremors movie.
