*UPDATE*
There was some trouble here and the thread went away for some time.
If you want to play, send me a PM and I hook you up.
We are playing now.

*UPDATE*

Arena Commander has still some issues, but it is a game and I think it is worth playing. We all want it to be a team game, so let us form a team, please. This is what I want to do:

Gather as a group of players and have one event per week where we come together and play. 4 players or more so we can do private games where we agree on rules and equipment.

I will organize this. I am confident that with 5k people we get enough participants.

«Ok, sounds really bad but I want to try, what do I need?»
  • You need a pass for Arena Commander
  • You need an Aurora MR with the default fitting (*edit* or a F7-C Hornet *edit*)
  • You need mumble
  • You need to be able to speak english and understand english with my strong german accent
  • 2 hours of time
This is what I will do with you:
  • Figure out the game
  • Is there any tactic or strategy that helps?
  • What is the superior control setup?
  • Is there something like team tactics?
  • Spark some competition to get a sense of good and bad
  • Find out if we can make this a regular weekly/bi-weekly thing
I will be on mumble on Tuesday 18:00 UTC. We start at 18:30 UTC and end at 20:30 UTC. Some admin post this in the proper subforums please.

Could you buy one? It would really help if we could all fly the most basic ship. I cross-posted this to FROG and Goonrathi, so maybe we get a nice group together.

I cross-posted this to some other communities as well. The «I do not have an aurora» is a common problem. So, with enough participants, we will probably have a hornet group as well.

If I have an Aurora LX, does that work? I can always downgrade to an MR, but the LX has 24-month insurance...
Eventually, I'll probably join the Hornet group once my schedule frees up.

The idea is to have even chances for everyone. If we have enough hornets, fly with the hornets. Maybe we do not even have enough auroras? So Aurora pilots, step up!

i like this idea, and if i had seen this sooner i'd be there, sundays are wide open for me.
i hope this kind of thing gains traction, with enough agreeable players we could play special rules team games.

Aurora Escort:
played on the capture the core map
1 assault team, 1 defense team
assault team required to have at least 1 aurora, all other players can use any ship in game with any loadout
the assault team gains a point when the aurora captures and returns a core. the defense team gains a point when the assault team's aurora is killed.
capturing a core or killing the aurora ends the "round" and everyone ejects and respawns.

why bother? each team has focused and different objectives which encourages less random tactics and more teamwork. could be fun.

So, you are in on tuesday? I will start this slow just to get things going. If we get together regularly we can try all kinds of stuff. Your idea sounds interesting.
