So, can we start up a definite start date yet? Wednesday? Friday?

Well, AT&T; seems to be pretty fast about activating webspace, once you can figure out how the hell you're supposed to do it - their site is less than totally helpful. At least they were instant though, Excite took like 24 hours. I've got the homepage posted at my new site, go to: (url="http://"http://home.attbi.com/~e-gamerguy1/bfs3/")http://home.attbi.co...gamerguy1/bfs3/(/url)
I've also updated both page links in my sig, testing those...
Not a lot of time here, but I did notice Jimbob asking about a definite start date. If everyone has posted their fleets, Jimbob, that will be a yes, otherwise no. I'll deal with all the new stuff that has apparently been posted ASAP.
(edit) All links in sig correct. (/edit)

Mac, I noticed my flagship still remains at "Crimson Rage." That was simply a "moving hangar" for my fleet, and not in any way was it to be used as a flagship. The Battlecarriers were my flagship(s), and it was supposed to read: "3 Battlecarriers, Aurora's 1-3." It does sound a bit cheesy, however. If you could make it, "3 Battlecarriers, Borealis Nightmares , flagships" I'd appreciate it.
Something that was never answered: In stock EV, if you recall a badly damaged fighter back to the bay, it will instantsly be repaired and re-loaded. How will this work in BFS? Will there be a "pit time" assigned?
Oh, and BTW, I'd like to bring up the "captive" ships issiue. Can we capture the remnants of defense fleets, "under construction" ships, and (gasp!) even ememy fleet vessels? This would prove to be emmensly to us- I mean, uh, the pirates, as taking over a couple fed cruisers could give them an advantage. And as for that Dreden "Hoo-cho Mama" ship... RC, get that alien language to me, STAT!**
1. It is customary to only have one flagship. The reason is that an admiral has his own flag which is flown on the ship he is aboard. Thus, flagship.
2. Frankly, the way this has always worked is if the fighter wasn't totally destroyed then it is completely healed for the next battle post. Ships do accumulate damage although it is more on the order of light, medium, or heavy damage.
3. No. Being able to capture ships would screw the webstory up immensely.

Ok, I managed to read through the stuff here.
Corey, just go pick out a fleet and then email General Rak, if you don't mind. He's going to be your CO.
Zen - :frown:. If you do end up leaving, please tell us, or me by email. I hope you don't have to though, because we might not have a shot at getting enough players if you do.
(add Zen) Seeing new message, once every day would be fine, probably even once every couple days, for say ten to fifteen minutes? I can email you updates on significant stuff to speed up reading, if need be. (/edit)
I think that's about all that's important... Oh, Skyblade, I nuked all my files off evula.net, but the last few directories just refused to delete, and I'm not sure why. All the files ~appear~ to be gone, so it shouldn't be taking up much room.
Also, Dragon, spl_cadet hit all your questions on the nose.

Ok, I don't think I should need to pull out if those are the requirments, I believe I should be able to meet those. Whoosh, any reason Rak never seems to post here anymore?

Probably because he's over at the Nova board... he's too good for us standerd, classic EV players, he wouldn't mingle with the likes of us.. 
Oh. Okay, Mac. You were planning on doing the "3 flaghips" thing beforem though apparently that has changed... any idea why? And cadet, what we were going to do was have 3 flagships, and the idea was that the general would be on one, undisclosed Battlecarrier.
Divisionary tactics, my dear Watson...

He's busy with other things, but the two of us our still collaborating, never fear. I have every confidence that he'll be with us.
Dragon - no, I was never going to do triple flagships, I asked you to pick one. The flagship has essentially no practical role in this, other than the ship you sit on in your posts, so it doesn't really matter. Just tell me what ship you want, and it has to be yours. The chances of anyone specifically aiming for that cruiser are pretty small, and the chances of you escaping if that ship is lost are 100%.

Mac: Don't worry about it. I'll look into deleting those extra files sometime soon.
Darn, I wish UE Crusader would get over here and post. He's my best commander.

Sorry I haven't been around here for awhile. I've been working on the Dreden weapons though, and I'm going to put them all on here in one post when I'm done. Skyblade, does your email work? I haven't tried to email it, but I heard sdtuff about it not working occasionally. The reason is that we really need to start working on some battle strategies(everyone else is already and will be prepared and we need to be too), and if you want, I have a practically unbreakable code that we could use. I have some ideas for future ships(and a little something else that's a little special).
P.S. On an eBay auction, I just got Infini-D 4.5, but it's for Christmas, so I still have about three weeks to go.

Heh. Well, considering Crusader's performance in "The Unfinished War" (BFS II), I dubbed him my finest commander. You must prove yourself, my apprentice.

Cool. Sounds like you've been busy...
My e-mail has been working quite nicely lately, so if you have any questions or want to send me some of the mentioned items, go ahead.

Awesome. You shall not regret your purchase. Three weeks seems like a long time...

OK, Mac. But how are you going to pritn that? All I ask is that the flagship be a Battlecruiser by name of "Aurora Borealis." And RC, please arrange a date! I have an early dinner-date today, but after that (oh, say, 6:00, maybe 6:15), I'll be free. We need to get that language topic up and running!
OH, and BTW, if you don;t have it written yet, I have an old one that worked quite well for passing notes in HS Chemistry... We can use that if need be.
Mac, Saturday the map worked really well on the new AT&T; place. Today (Monday) it sucks. It took longer than ever to load this time. (Could have something to do with millions of Excite customers being moved to the same system...?)
Just thought you'd want to know....

Saturday it was on evula.net, not the new AT&T; place. Lots of people swarming the AT&T; server could be a problem, though right now it's loading quite fast even for my cable (yes, off the server, not my hard drive, and no, not cached). You shouldn't be able to notice any difference on a 56k given what I'm getting it at right now.
BTW, all the "Excite" customers have been with AT&T;, it was AT&T; contracting out the service. I didn't know my service had anything to do with Excite until a week ao. It sounds like I lucked out with my connection though, in some areas I guess AT&T; won't be able to transfer people over for about a week. I was out 6 hours at most, and while I was sleeping at that. But since AT&T; will be slowly regaining customers, it's possible that the server could be a bit clogged up for a while.

I know. You might still try emailing him, since that would probably be more reliable than just catching him posting somewhere. Last time I emailed him, when you wwere thinking about leaving altogether, I think he took a couple of days to get back to us then too.

Cool, I've been thinking about making a graphicless Dreden Weapon section, but maybe I won't have to. If you want, you could also just email them all to me instead. I don't suppose you could render everything at 100x100 for me?

Picking a flagship is optional, but I'll go ahead and put you down in that one.

Sort of.... AT&T; has been using Excite's network -- and this WAS transparent to the end user. Now, all the users are on AT&T;'s (and/or some other "wholesaler's" net). Traffic is definitely greater on the AT&T; net. It sucks for now.... AT&T; may get it re-balanced in a few months. (Yes. I said, "months".)
By the time this webstory begins I'll be married and attending my kid's college graduation. :eek:

I got your e-mail, but now my old e-mail account isn't sending me e-mail replies (you would think I had e-mail problems or something ;)). My new address (saberstudios@evula.net) is on a different computer, so if you could re-send the e-mail there, I'd appreciate it.
Hope you'll be able to join BFS III. I wasn't expecting Reign of Chaos to start for a few weeks proceeding my post to register, and by the time I returned to check it out, it was already well underway. :frown:

Not sure yet. He's busy with Golden Horizons and Reign of Chaos, so it's doubtful.
Of course, we'd love to have you Carno. If UE Crusader drops out, a new player will be important.
