to share some light on the current state of the sair / cast official factions and events between them. several times i tried sorting something with jameson or other 101st folk, but they seem to be lacking members for some reason. they would have to team up with 13th outcast squadron or xtf, and after that is done, we can agree on a time and give it a go. there is no need for large 15 v 15 type of fights, since those kind of numbers can cause heavy lags. more so now, when forums are on the same machine. a simple 5-8 ships in each side is more than enough to ensure several hours of decent fighter combat.
i have those numbers, but outcast factions - probably. thing is to sync them to one time.
edit: best are random events though. random as in, quickly organised via skype:
sairs: got some folks to shoot? server has 140 people it shouldnt crash if we log
casts: sure. where?
sairs: insert location
casts: ok give me half an hour
sairs: k
usually it takes some more time, but eventually, people gather up. if its not midday through the week. all depending on timezones.
Reckons we should have a tasty mixture of snubbies as well as the *occasional* capship. but a pure capshipfest... do not want (cos i suck at pvp in anything but fighter (blush))
