Didn't I tell you folks that you cannot use any character names from the game? Is that guy in Orion fleet still using Matt Stryker? Fleet Commander, if I see it, I am holding you accountable.

u guys are truly, truly, insane.

LOL! Spacephish, you're a riot. Anyway, yes, because AOL is primarily in Virginia and since AOL users make up quite a lot of the visitors, they've been spiking my server. I gotta give 'em a call and get them foot the bill.

I never chose anyone for UCV designation. What on Earth are you talking about? What is so difficult to understand? ...any commander, regardless of designation, who is currently affiliated with a fleet, cannot switch. Period.. UCV entities have nothing to do with fleets. Please don't confuse the issue.

Thats right spcFX, I don't think they understand what a 'wing logo' is.

Seems pretty clear to me. What'd I miss?

Did you check the manual?

Read the manual.

Tac, that URL is wrong. You have some extra characters at the end.

We're probably going to www.vservers.com

Well, it had to happen. Akorn, my website ISP has indicated that they are going to be hiking my rates to $500 per month, up from $175. Why, because I am now the largest and busiest site on their pipe. And I'm sucking up, on average of 35,523,000,000 bytes worth of bandwidth *per month*. Well, time to pack our bags, after 4 years, we're moving 'cuz I sure as hell ain't paying that. To see the net stats, go here. Its scary really. I can't imagine whats going to happen when multiplayer goes online. 3000AD Net Stats

Tom, is there an auxiliary webpage for Prime Fleet? I mean, besides this one? I have created a new Fleet page and need to get it updated and accurate.

How about it? Once we've got all this structure stuff sorted out, we can come up with Wing mottos and Wing logos. Over time, I may put in dynamic multi-texturing so that the server op can enable logos on ships.

spcFX, any GALCOM member can use the spinning GALCOM logo. No problem.

LOL!! For those of you who don't know who EricR is, he's my loyal friend and 3000AD legal counsel. Hi Eric!

What is the Wraith Fleet webpage URL?

Until further notice. Ask me again sometime in 2001.

LOL!, whats the stability of your setup (especially those obscure issues you post) got to do with fleets? btw, I'm surprised MINESWEEP is even in the BC orders menu. It is an order for fighters, not the BC. Since the BC won't auto-arm its weapon systems, its pointless giving it this order. update: Just tried the above. Works fine here.

Yes Ron, that was then. Because I added new regions, I've decided to add more flexibility. With the exception of the hard coded in-game station names, any faction can choose a station or base from the existing list. I am not adding new Mission Zones to BCM, nor am I changing the existing one. So, if you find one that is of your race/caste affiliation, then, you can use it. The MZ names are not hardcoded, unlike the stations and starbases, so, they can be used as is without any work on my part. Just remember that in multiplayer, you will only see a launch site pertaining to your race caste. And since Mission Zones are not valid launch sites, I will only be adding more starbases during the final stages of development. For instance, the Insurgents don't have starbases yet. This way, the stations and bases will be evenly distributed so that every caste has several launch sites.

I am going to extend the deadline to next Monday. I need the final fleet structures, member lists (I want all the names of the fleet members, whether they hold positions of authority or not) as well as a .jpeg image of your structure (see the Insurgent one) by next Monday. Edit the current post in the relevant thread and also send me the final file in either .RTF or .DOC format, including the structure image. And please use a sensible file naming convention, eg Insurgent Fleet Structure.doc

In order to keep this whole fleet business on an even keel, I hereby suspend any and all fleet transfers, currently in progress. If you are in Orion fleet, stay there and don't jump to Wraith, Insurgent etc. If I find any violators, I will take disciplinary action against the Fleet Commander. So, before you pick a fleet, think carefully. And don't think of jumping over to the Insurgents just because you like the looks of New America. You should be more excited about taking it over or blowing it up. Be advised.

I agree, Squadrons it is. If I see the word clan or guild used anywhere, I'm gonna cream someone

Well, I have no problems with Clans either. As long as they don't overstep the rules.

There won't be any squads, fleets, alliances, cookouts or such faction for non-fleet affiliated entities. So, if you want to be a raider, or any similar non-fleet affiliated entity, you guys can just hop on a server and do what the hell you like. Raiders are not organized entities in any shape or form. If you want to be a notorious raider, then you'll have to do a lot more than make baseless boasts. btw, any non-fleet affliated entity, uses the UCV designation. And there is no ranking for UCV entities. But, since raiders are captains of their own ship, then, thats the generic ranking for any non-fleet affiliated entity. UCV Moron Cpt. Moron Himself Terran/Raider similarly: UCV IAVEIT Cpt. WHAT UNEED Empirian/Trader

...hence my editing of the posts.
