Hi All,

is there any worth in organising another one of these? a few new faces around and a good chance to get more people involved.

The settings Micro put up were excellent a few years back. I like the photon delay as it let there be a lot more ship gridding etc with less risk. It encouraged a lot more play or so I felt.

Also it was a fairly standard blue/red so no risk of people not wanting to share their favorite scripts outside their core group

Cheers,

Hammer

I'm in - should we do a draft again or bring teams? Hard to get 10 on a team these days, though I can do it - I have 10 that will play with us. But I'd also be happy to do a draft - maybe Hammer and I as captains?

Shadow and I can be captains.

SK is willing to host (thanks mate!) - I'll co-ordinate with him on organising people but he'll do the random draft. I'm sure there is a website or something that can spit that out.

How about a start early Aug? (please confirm with any US holidays etc)

It'll be ABC tradewars from memory so apart from trying to make bots work with each other shouldn't need a huge amount of practice.

But I'd also be happy to do a draft - maybe Hammer and I as captains? Yeah, I was thinking the draft model so we'll end up playing with different people. I think it makes the game a little more accessible to some people who haven't played tournaments 'hard core' like you and I. Also its a good way to find future corp mates and just improve the level of game play for all. So two captains, random draft. People I think can apply anonymously if they choose? As long as the host knows who they are to stop griefing.. I'm also keen for a edit similar to last with some ABC tradewars, sped up a bit, just so it'll be easier to corp up with randoms. Happy for us two to be captains but not sure how this is usually determined?

Draft! I always find it interesting playing with different people. I'd be in depending on timing.

I'm sure I know of a couple of players that would play that can't post in this forum.

If I start putting out the word a bit more are we all happy with a random draft? Shadow and I can be captains. SK is willing to host (thanks mate!) - I'll co-ordinate with him on organising people but he'll do the random draft. I'm sure there is a website or something that can spit that out. How about a start early Aug? (please confirm with any US holidays etc) It'll be ABC tradewars from memory so apart from trying to make bots work with each other shouldn't need a huge amount of practice.

I'll toss my hat in. Not alot of key time and the only connection I have is on my cell signal. So when I'm gone I'm offline. Could commit to an hour or two a day probably best to be a colonizer Shadow? Need a slot filled?

Let's get a sign-up going and see how many we get. I liked the 2016 edit, even though that ended poorly for me for various reasons lol

Yep, let's do it. I think we'll get more out of the woodwork with an official post and we can all start harnessing people to play. I took a quick look at the edit, planets take roughly half stock time, ships are slightly modified. Been a lonnnggg time since I played stock, however looks like colt has twarp, IC beefed up, maybe more holds on on Havoc. Probably more stuff too.. Can could easily go for a while being stockish. Ideally we should try and make it finish at least a month before HHT so we can move onto that with plenty of time. So 30 day game, can apply last times rules to decide a winner. Though should we be penalized for mothing an enemy i.e. a podding?
