Organizing another big game

from Sins Forums
So after that 4v4, I figured why not try and organize another big game

It's hard to predict how long it can last, so I wouldn't put the "You must stay until the end" condition on signing up, especially since it's during the week and people have to work and things. But the condition I will put is not to leave when your flagship gets destroyed early on. Otherwise, stay as long as you possibly can.

So with that said, I'm available during the week from about 5pm Central time (that's what, 11 pm GMT?).

If anyone's interested, post here along with your times so we can set something up. Maybe even tonight if we're lucky You folks who were in our last big game better sign up

Also, I can host fine if that's an issue for anyone.

I simply lower my firewall to join and then raise it again as soon as I am hosting/joined.

Since the thread got a bit cluttered after we settled on times, here are the current plans:

Saturday: 10am Pacific / 12pm Central / 1pm Eastern / 6pm GMT
Sunday: 8am Pacific / 10am Central / 11am Eastern / 4pm GMT

Come one come all

I don't have a firewall problem, I have a router problem. I'm behind a router and my provider isn't prepared to forward the ports to me. It's "too much of a P2P risk".

They said that the ports are open but not forwarded.

I'll try to join the announced games and hope for the best. What port will the host be using?

Could somebody please tell me what port am I supposed to have for hosting/joining? I've fiddeld with MP options and I get disconnected almost instantly.

Check the FAQ next time -- default is port 6112, but you could have changed it easily enough -- its stored in a file kept from patch-to-patch.

Don't think anyone's ever asked for Mountain time.

Okay I have made sure that I am free all day sunday, so I will be able to play for at least 2 hours on sunday, if not more.

So if you guys want me in a game(i dont know if you do), arrange something around then

Okay, we had so many guys show up there weren't enough slots to allow us all to play on the same map.

Hey devs, we need more slots than 10 per game.

That said, I can hardly wait for tomorrow's battle.
Reply #216 from Sins Forums Top
They're not going to allow more than 10
Reply #217 from Sins Forums Top
Yeah, Blair told me

Well, we always have tomorrow's game to look forward to.

Hey, here is a question for you guys (2 actually).

1. Can the Cobalt Sabotage Antimatter and Hoshiko demolition bots be used on Capital Ships?

2. When a ships weapons are geared for attacking Light Armor (for example), does that translate to 150% damage done to target light armor ships hull?

THe sabotage antimatter is designed as a cap ship killer, so yes. I don't believe the hoshiko's offensive power can be used on cap ships, however. But who'd research it in the first place to test with?

Never got to play this morning either Was too amused by watching everyone bicker about whose team they wanted to be on and how to split it into two games that I decided not to bother Plus we were 13 players..

Hopefully tomorrow is 'better'

Today its the start of winter time, so the clock is set back one hour, nobody mentioned that yet

So game starts in 6 and a half hours in stead of 5 and a half...

Except... I believe daylight savings time ends next week (I woulda said start, but the calender disagrees...)

For you it starts next week, the European Union decided this week is better, dont ask me why, all i know is, wintertime went in today for me.
Reply #223 from Sins Forums Top
But we are starting one now aswell i believe.

So, we on again for next Saturday and Sunday?

Can't make any promises yet. Hellgate comes out this week and a few of my RL friends and myself have been itching to get our paws on it, so I may not be around. I'll know later in the week
