So the War?

Well last night a small fight broke out between the Federation and Imperial forces...

They took to the skies to seek out each others blood...

And during the conflict..... some strange things happened..

Jenner took out my power, but didn't finish the job? Instead she sailed off into the sunset..

Jenner and her pals ganked me and made me cry, though the NPC dealt the final blow..

And an NPC took me out and then added a huge insult to injury...

All for your viewing pleasure.. right here...

It was truly an epic, if frustrating, encounter! Yours was one of several times where the person I was attacking (or maybe it was me, I don't know) somehow lost connectivity and we became pilot less 'ghosts'. I tried to take you out but you were an invulnerable zombie of a ship. :)

Other times I'd be taking fire from unseen assailants. Still other times I'd get destroyed and then have to bring up task manager to end the program because I got stuck at the post-mission 'starfield' with no menu. Then I'd have to reset my graphic settings upon entering the game again. And then I'd have to make sure I landed on the right server so that I'd get back in the same instance. Argh. :rolleyes:

Nothing that hasn't been discussed already about the Alpha currently.

But still, I had a blast. :D It was really fun to finally cross sabers with you, Kow. ;)

And that first time? "Will Rogers" didn't kill you, *I* did. :cool:

Battle Royale FIS vs EE

Thanks to everyone who turned up! Sorry it wasn't announced on the Forums but it was kind of last minute organised on FB and I only thought a couple of people would come.

In the end, I thing at least 30 Cmds took part, maybe more, I saw people I've never seen before. So those of us with good connections had some good PvP action. I think the Feds had the edge in Player numbers. I hope the Empire manages to rally its forces a bit better next time ;)

If we do it again, it would be cool to do in E&C where you dont have to worry about NPCs too much. I chose Endless War, because you can differentiate between the teams easily.

Interestingly, it highlighted a glitch that we have all experienced but was more obvious with more human players all in one place. I was chatting with Cmd Jenner on Hangouts and I could see some of the players he could see and vice versa, we couldn't see each other. This would explain why you can sometimes take fire, but not see who its coming from. This kind of overlap needs to be sorted and I'm sure Frontier are working hard on it.

Oddly, as soon as the battle started at 20:00 GMT the NPCs stopped spawning in the sessions I was in. I have never experienced this in Endless war before.

It would be great if someone could volunteer a Teamspeak account for the next one. I dont think its necessary to have one for each faction, as you can only enter the scenario as individuals rather than en masse as a team.

Thanks again for supporting the event, I enjoyed it, even though I didn't get a lot of combat myself.

Typical Federation ploy, organise a war at short notice, morales of a sewer rat I tell you! Facebook is the devils work anyway, now Twitter, that's where the cool kids hang out :cool: *

The teamspeak I help run can support 1000 people it has more than one hangout channel in the Elite Dangerous section , Han_Solo is a staff member and Admin so let me know when OK . It would be easy to set up 1 channel for Federal Pilots and 1 for Empire + the 2 hangout channels .
I was also in the fight as a Federal pilot and got taken out by Jenner at least 2 times so jumped back in with my target set and gave her all my missiles at the same time she made a very nice large explosion .:D .
I have posts on the ALFA discussion page and the main forum and was asking for a list of free easy access teamspeak servers to be made in to a sticky , so that all the players can find at least one were there are always people on line playing Elite Dangerous .:cool:

Hi Han
I saw you a couple of time, but you were green :) so no shooty shooty.

Thanks for the offer!. I did not think you would mind, or Kroy and others either, but I did not want to volunteer the info to others without speaking to you guys first, but will deffo take you up on the offer next week, if people are interested.

I think I will put up a quick poll later and see what day/time is best for the majority.

I remember you shooting those missiles at me! Lol. I took it as a compliment that you were that scared. ;)

The Imp´s arrived early and thought time to prepare was going to give them the edge. The Fed´s arrived pretty much spot on time. A fierce battle ensued, which was complicated by the presence of NPCs who attacked in swarms like angry hornets. The NPCs were relentless and seriously hostile. If battles between the Federation and Empire are going to be anything as intense as this in future, it will be AWESOME!

The Imp´s were ready. The Fed´s were initially outnumbered but came into the battle kicking and screaming, with their claws out. I don´t think you Imp´s really expected that kind of fight did you? None the less, it was fantastic for the first 30-45 minutes and a scene that a Hollywood blockbuster movie would have been proud to include. Ships spiralling everywhere, dogfighting, shooting, and blowing up with alarming succession, both players and NPCs. It was chaos on a scale rarely seen, and never before seen in E: D until that time. As I looked from my cockpit I knew some of those fleeting balls of fire were my comrades in arms and that only fired me up even greater, only more determined to waste you Imperial slimeballs and get demonic and evil on your butts! For those Imp´s who died and certainly those who I killed... to hell with you and I hope you remembered to say ¨Hi¨ to Lucifer as he ushered you in!

In 2 hours my client crashed only once and I was killed 15 times by NPCs and 4 times by players. My client crashed when I took the first Anaconda´s hull down to 1%, which was untimely and unfortunate, but otherwise I was very impressed with the smoothness and stability of the software throughout the entire battle. After splashing 2 more boss-eyed Imperial Anacondas (they couldn´t shoot straight for love nor money) everything seemed to be going well. So it wasn´t an Anaconda issue.

Today i have had trouble writing at work because my trigger finger is sore. A great THANKS to all of you who took part. Especially those who chose their faction and stuck to it. I admired the way in which the Fed´s took it to the Imp´s but i also admired the Imp´s for their bravery and skill in battle. It was never going to be easy for either side.

For those of you who thought it was best to switch sides from the Federation to the Empire, or keep swapping sides from one to the other, of those I saw - your names were noted. Watch out for me in future. I do not take betrayal lightly. There is one exception who was under my specific orders. He knows who he is and shall not be named. Thank you for risking your life for me and putting it on the line for the Federation. I salute you Cmdr. o7

LONG LIVE THE FEDERATION!

I played for over an hour from 7:50 pm GMT. Saw Jenner a couple of times in Endless war, but that was about it. Was a li'l disappointed to hear that other people were having such epic battles. But glad it was going on.

Ok I just created 2 new channels 1 for Federal Pilots and 1 For Empire I need a few days to set the teamspeak to max , but we would be happy to let 1000 people log in for the next battle .

I saw people but they didn't see me. Whenever I saw a Federal scumbag (player), my weapons had no effect. My session would crash about 5 mins in. To make matters worse, friendly NPCs kept attacking me too.

In E&C, I saw and interacted with other players. The only problem with using that scenario as a battleground is that we can't align ourselves to our respective factions.

Hopefully next time I can have a more meaningful input, even if it's exploding under a Feds withering fire. :smilie:

Just out of interest are you also chatting about these issues on the alpha forum/submitting tickets?

Fun aside it looks like a useful stress-test of instances. Maybe useful if the devs decided to join in/sit and watch the server catch fire/whatever and see if they can track the issues (I speak from ignorance, all these issues may already be known with fixes in train).

Thanks Han

I think we will go for one team on yours (Feds) and the other on Kroys (imps) to cut down on espionage you understand ;)

I submitted a ticket, actually an update, because an issue I had previously raised was highlighted to the max with so many players.

I have on video in Impeccable Defence.. Kerrash and I and Listeri69 all in the same session... which was a good start...

BUT they had targets and a cap ship, I didn't....

It got a bit spooky when following Kerrash and he bounced off the capital ship, but to me.... he bounced off nothing...

VERY Strange...

this kind of activity happened a lot, with each of us experiencing different things while in the same instance... sometimes we'd crash..

For example Jenner kicked my ass, then for me.. she drove off into the sunset..

But for her... she found me invincible and then carried on in her instance...
So it was like our instance SPLIT and I went into one and she the other.

That is problematic for EPIC space battles... that WE ALL WANT!!!
