Hi all, I'll be traveling through next weekend, and also the weekend of 9/24-9/25, with limited or no access to computers. I'll check in when I can though! I'll start asking people if they want to try the game soon.

I was hoping that a schedule is put up. I could be the event coordinator, but I'm new so I decided to stay put. I tried to publicate about the updates, but as long as I know, there's hardly a registered response, at least from a post. Oh, I don't try to stay logged in, but I may edit my status/signature message.
If there is no event, Et Si Tu N'existais Pas!

Safe travels Aqua. I should have the skunk build ready around the end of the month. It has 6 MAV types for both sides. The EC Cricket and FS Spirit are the newest. They are small, light, and very fast. They are classified as reconnaissance MAV's. I'm probably not going to let them pick up cores because of their size and speed, but they are good at straffing attacks and dropping grenades on everyones heads, then get the heck out of Dodge very fast. As their class name suggests, they can find out what the other side is doing. if we ever get enough players for that to come in handy. I might give them the cloak, if you all want me to do that. Ribby, if you want to coordinate events, I like the idea. I'm not sure if there is anyone to coordinate events for right now though.

Everything seems coming along. If the reconnaissance MAVs are as fragile as glass or flowers, I don't seem why not give them a cloak as a extra means of protection. It will be situationaly used as a hit-and-run tactic, if not true flanking. Slow types of MAVs such as snipers and artillery, could use cloaking as well. I can't decide on whether the reconnaissance MAVs would drop/launch mines/grenades. A slower rate of fire is expected for game play balance purposes. Special weapon may expend energy. Can't be so sure without testing. Determination of projectile impact, can result in intact form, bouncing, or explosion. If mine's impact is to remain intact, we can always science fiction write about the mine's internal alarm as vibration activated. It's a game anyways so we probably shouldn't sweat it (unless we want more realistic applications).
It's gonna to take a while before I can manage the coordination of holding game/sport events. It's nearing the end of the year and it could get busy regardless. I also need to figure out free time budgeting so players can participate at their utmost convenience. It could be a different story if it was a Olympics emphasis, but that's another story.

I gave them granade launchers and they work pretty good. Takes allot of practice to use them effectively though. I don't think the firing rate needs to be cut down since just like a WWII bomber you have to account for altitude and speed as well as your target is moving. It's pretty sweet when you nail a MAV. Like you say, everything will need testing.

Other than holding/hosting game/sport events, it's probably better if there's a way to allow standby? We might need a schedule to irc idle. Good as practice.
Holdup, I'm promoting the title thru other tiresome game sessions. I am starting a topic elsewhere about arranging to play whack the mole. I be telling them that this game isn't '3 strikes and you're out' baseball rule. Oh, and I am trying to omit negative people that are detrimental to any atmosphere in general.

Thank you for your effort Ribby. The Skunkworks Ultimate Edition will need play testing. That will be released shortly.

I don't see what your post has to do with the topic or the game glebs. If you want to have a discussion, please start a new thread. Thank you.
