CHAT LOG:

|Meeting Opener|

[18:00:31] Aryte Vesperia: Good evening everyone. Before we get started, I want to remind everyone to please hold questions or comments until provided the opportunity to speak. Those who fail to will be dismissed from the meeting hall. In addition to which, please remember to shout your comments or questions-- our recorder is located centrally. If you are on the fringes, she may not hear it, and it will not be documented.

[18:00:49] Bargo Tomsen: Here

[18:00:50] Karlhockey Forte: I can

[18:00:56] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Tomsen.

[18:01:02] Bargo Tomsen: Welcome

|Imperator’s Report|

[18:01:21] Aryte Vesperia: On to this week's stats, then:

[18:01:41] Aryte Vesperia: > Members: 293

> Cadets: 12

> Applications: 8

Approved: 0

Denied: 3

Review: 4

> Combat:

Defense: 97

Offense: 10

[18:02:33] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatic events this week: our interests in perhaps making some motions of friendliness with Vanguard have taken a pretty strong hit. Hollowmengitus, the leading individual behind negotiating terms with us . . . was essentially told to “go fuck yourself’ by Christoph. Hollow summarily resigned his commission in Vanguard and has recently been seen absorbing rockets for me on BC2.

[18:03:19] Aryte Vesperia: In other news, I have spoken a bit with the BF leader Clix Diesel. Tentatively, I have released any restriction on BF and am welcoming them back to combat with us. That leaves no groups, outside of Vanguard, under any real restriction. Chaos remains questionable—they do not list us as “blockaded,” but the last two visits resulted in banishment of our raid team for arbitrary reasons. I will keep you all up to date as events unfold there.

[18:04:04] Aryte Vesperia: As a side note, we have taken a lot of interest in assisting EE combatively. Huttser Ishelwood is currently spending a lot of time ensuring their sim security—earlier today, he essentially assumed command of their defense.

|Divisional Reports|

[18:04:22] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this evening?

-Astra-

[18:04:27] Sosarin Demar raises his hand.

[18:04:31] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Demar.

[18:04:38] Sosarin Demar shouts: Combat participation is more or less nominal, as a dip in activity persists with the school times. Training continues as normal. As we enter summer, I hope to assess the active status of each flight and consolodate them into a more solid squadron. After discussing the matter with flight leaders, some flights may be merged to facilitate a return to cohesive units. With things cleaned up, we can be ready for summer when participation picks up. Next weeks activities should be much like the previous -- training and combat participation. That concludes this week's report for Astra.

-Tactica-

[18:05:18] Trevor Russell: A few things to announce. Firstly, Tactica is working on a group-wide project. The focus? A proposal for bringing objective-based combat to Titan, based on the interest shown in a forum thread Aryte posted a while ago. I can't say much yet, but it looks good.

[18:05:25] Trevor Russell: Secondly, I will be stepping down as head of Tactica. I am in the process of choosing a successor. No word yet, still about one week left in the selection process. That is all.

[18:06:12] Lestat Umarov raises hand

[18:06:20] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you.

[18:06:23] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Umarov?

-Terra-

[18:06:45] Lestat Umarov shouts: Another good week for Terra. A command meeting was held earlier in the week to discuss the newly appointed praetorian initiates and their role in Terra. Rest assured nothing in changing in terms of their activity and they will continue to perform their duties until such a time that a replacement is found, altho they are not obligated to relinquish their positions. Combat has been frequent, with a number of raids, allied assistance, and sim defense recorded. Now, onto unit reports.

[18:06:54] Lestat Umarov shouts: From Teron for Invictus: "Taking up some of the work for Keller so he can focus on his upcoming service in the Guard. Invictus continued as normal, taking part in numerous raids. We filled one of our vacancies, but said goodbye to another member of the unit. Invictus has accepted in Genostrike in his stead. The rest of the unit is active and several potential canidates for filling out our squad have been viewed, hopefully filling in the gaps of our team shortly."

[18:07:06] Lestat Umarov shouts: From Zerowinged for Antesignani: "Once again, light week. Looking and dearly waiting for school to be out so things can start getting into gear. One possible admitant being looked at, they know who they are. As for development, the concepts are moving foreward nicley (Thanks Tiridates =3). That's about it. . . End Report."

[18:07:28] Lestat Umarov shouts: From Zrazor For Insidiae: "Light week again activity-wise. Materials development continues as fast as Munitorum can get around to it. Over the next week there will be in increased focus on planning out the inevitable squad leadership transition as I settle into my new position."

[18:07:36] Lestat Umarov shouts: From Genesis for Cohors B: "This week for B has been better than the last but with activty being a little lower than the norm. Exams being done now and drawing to a close for most people. Hoping to see more PRF reviews coming through and more activities in the coming week. Beyond that there hasn't been anything Major for B this week."

[18:09:41] Lestat Umarov shouts: And lastly from myself for the Adiutor Staff: "The first phase of the Unit of the month doctrine is completed. Soulbinder, firefox, and myself looked over it earlier this week and finished up th point values for grading in the initial phase. Up next we'll be working on outlines for the combat phase, visual inspections, and the formal board proceedings. I intend to post a thread about it in the Terra forums so be sure to lookout for it if you're interested.!"

[18:10:05] Lestat Umarov shouts: This concludes my report for Terra. Any additional reports may be given at the discretion of the Imperator!

[18:10:40] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Umarov.

[18:10:45] Aryte Vesperia: Any other reports this evening?

[18:11:36] Aryte Vesperia: Very good then, moving along.

-Praetorian Guard-

-None

|Old Business|

[18:11:45] Aryte Vesperia: Any old business to bring up for further discussion this evening?

[18:12:15] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent, moving on.

|Keynote Topics|

[18:12:51] Aryte Vesperia: A series of topics to cover this evening before I turn the floor over. The last of which will be particularly important and probably arouse a billion questions.

[18:12:54] Aryte Vesperia: So~

[18:13:43] Aryte Vesperia: First off: we will be restarting our Sunday combat training missions . . tomorrow. 5:00 PM SLT. We will continue our focus on stress-test related programs. However, special focus will be placed on reinforcing medic talents.

[18:14:09] Aryte Vesperia: Now, a couple weeks ago I spent some time gathering up concerns from our EU timezone (and in general). They were as follows:

[18:14:17] Aryte Vesperia: I. Lack of estate support in early hours.

[18:14:24] Aryte Vesperia: II. Lack of mid-day raids.

[18:14:35] Aryte Vesperia: III. Ignoring of defense calls.

[18:14:58] Aryte Vesperia: IV. Necessity of recruitment for of individuals within that timezone.

[18:15:54] Aryte Vesperia: In response to the first concern, I will be appointing another early-hour estate administrator. I have a couple individuals in mind, but will need to speak with them prior to ensure they're up to the task and will be present.

[18:16:05] Aryte Vesperia: This should be dealt with by Monday.

[18:17:00] Aryte Vesperia: In response to the second concern, I have ensured a higher volume of individuals have raid clearance--through special appointment, or otherwise blanket approval. For example, Ron Bleac.

[18:18:31] Aryte Vesperia: As for the third concern, I have requested that officers and designated NCO staff to monitor the frequency of "no responses" from individuals in the early hours to defense calls. As, well . . there's certainly no interest to strong-arm individuals into attendance, punishment for failure to respond will not be status quo. Instead, reward for response.

[18:19:23] Aryte Vesperia: Officers and NCOs who do note attendance / response to assistance calls in the early hours (or in general, really) are instructed to denote it. I will be providing commendation--QP and otherwise--for those actions.

[18:20:30] Aryte Vesperia: As for recruitment within the early hours . . still looking for ideas in that area. So I will definitely be interested in hearing from anyone if they have some suggestions for that. Feel free to nudge/notecard me after the meeting. Notecards preferred.

[18:20:32] Aryte Vesperia: Questions there?

[18:20:38] Kryo Recreant raises a hand.

[18:20:47] Typhon Perun raises a thing

[18:20:48] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Recreant?

[18:21:37] Kryo Recreant: Isn't there a slight chance that incentivising arrival on base to assist with defence will lead to a slimmer defence line, and more people hanging around off-sim purely to be rewarded when they show up to do their duty?

[18:22:16] Aryte Vesperia: General attendance itself and participation overall is far more rewarding then that scenario.

[18:23:46] Aryte Vesperia: Interesting concern to note, but I will underline that there is a lot more to be had in the way of compensation for general attendance.

[18:23:49] Aryte Vesperia: Any other questions?

[18:24:26] Typhon Perun raises a thing

[18:24:37] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Perun.

[18:24:41] Typhon Perun: Why not put a prefered time zone or country of origin down as part of the application process? This can be noted as being reasonable as combat here is possible 24/7 and help us figure out who might be here and when with the new recruits. Also what about a new merit for the morning defense to help encourag them to do there job abit?

[18:25:22] Trevor Russell raises hand.

[18:26:40] Aryte Vesperia: There is a question for timezone on the application. Otherwise, Homeland Defense and general combat citations are within that realm.

[18:26:42] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Russell?

[18:28:10] Trevor Russell: I do think we should encourage defense at off hours. However, I would like to note that I think we need to be careful not to reward those who simply idle on the line. In my combat reports, I have begun the process of noting those who are actively defending, and listing them as seperate (I would encourage others to do the same). In short, I don't want it to be a grind by idling.

[18:28:43] Aryte Vesperia: I agree.

[18:28:53] Aryte Vesperia: Any other questions before I move on?

[18:29:18] Aryte Vesperia: Very good.

[18:29:59] Aryte Vesperia: Something I want to briefly touch on as a general "heads up" for everyone:

[18:30:48] Aryte Vesperia: My expectations of feedback and information when I give tasks or are requesting information.

[18:31:24] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, as I am generally micromanaging umpteen amounts of things: I deeply appreciate feedback and updates on ongoing tasks. I receive a lot of these through formalized processes-- like unit reports.

[18:31:57] Aryte Vesperia: However, this goes further, into . . essentially anything that you could consider "assigned." Raid leaders can tell you this: I asked for periodic updates.

[18:32:07] Aryte Vesperia: What does an update constitute? Well, let's use the raid example.

[18:32:13] Aryte Vesperia: If I ask "How is the raid going?"

[18:32:54] Aryte Vesperia: I am asking for substantive, quantifiable information.

[18:33:10] Aryte Vesperia: "X and Y are in enemy base, majority of forces in this area." That's great.

[18:33:26] Aryte Vesperia: "enemy using lots of explosives. lot of us dying. Agh." Not so great.

[18:33:41] Aryte Vesperia: This may seem like a very nitpicky, simple thing. But it honestly saves me a lot of time!

[18:34:56] Aryte Vesperia: Essentially: I appreciate updates, but please give them to me in a manner that does not make me have to ask follow up questions to determine what the story pertains to.

[18:34:58] Aryte Vesperia: Questions?

[18:35:31] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Moving on.

[18:35:48] Aryte Vesperia: As mentioned in the Terra report, a decent amount of the Guard appointments are existing Terra officers.

[18:36:52] Aryte Vesperia: This will serve as a new initiative, in which I will be appointing fairly significant imbedding of Praetorian members throughout the Ordo. I wish to maintain a strong presence of the Guard within administrative functions, while utilizing them for their extraordinary duties--such as a special combat unit.

[18:37:58] Aryte Vesperia: Although there is some resistance to the liberal application of Guard personnel to command roles, I find it inherently healthy in several ways. Foremost, it provides administrative support to the divisional leads, freeing up personnel.

[18:39:01] Aryte Vesperia: Secondly, it allows for sort of . . special political officers to be invested into divisions, more easily fulfilling my individual goals and expectations for the divisions.

[18:39:03] Aryte Vesperia: Questions?

[18:39:31] Jayce Iredell raises his hand.

[18:39:33] Typhon Perun raises a thing.

[18:39:36] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Iredell?

[18:40:02] Jayce Iredell: Does that mean the positions are not vacant? They are stayingin their current roles?

[18:41:21] Aryte Vesperia: There are vacant positions existing. It does not mean the current Guard will indefinitely remain within their roles in their specific divisions. They may be reassigned -- whether when necessary to fill another role, or if someone is found who can take that position from outside the Guard.

[18:41:24] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Perun?

[18:41:29] Typhon Perun: What does this mean to those of us that might like to make officer oneday, will there be less opportunity for such?

[18:41:38] Aryte Vesperia: No, the opportunity will remain.

[18:41:54] Trinity Heckroth raises hand

[18:42:27] Aryte Vesperia: The Guard will fill vacanies that are not otherwise sustainable at the time-- for example, if we designate a division requires additional support and no NCO staff are available to elevate at the time.

[18:42:30] Aryte Vesperia: Ms. Heckroth?

[18:42:31] Trinity Heckroth: which divisions will likely see guardsmen assigned?

[18:42:40] Aryte Vesperia: All divisions at this time.

[18:43:11] Aryte Vesperia: In order to fulfill expansion requirements and stability requirements that I have laid out.

[18:43:14] Aryte Vesperia: Including AiR and Curia.

[18:43:21] Aryte Vesperia: Any other questions?

[18:43:50] Kryo Recreant raises a hnd.

[18:43:59] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Recreant.

[18:45:29] Kryo Recreant: May I ask without sounding like too much of a spoilsport, why these people have been raised to the status of Guardsman, which technically operates outside the standard Sphere of Influence, whilst being allowed to retain old positions other than where explicitly needed, that is? Why not just keep them within their old roles?

[18:46:30] Aryte Vesperia: A very good question, Mr. Recreant.

[18:46:39] Kryo Recreant: Thank you Sir.

[18:48:35] Aryte Vesperia: I permitted the appointment of the individuals based upon the intent to expand the role of the Guard to serve in the dualistic functions I mentioned: political officers and an extraordinary combat unit. My intent here is twofold:

[18:49:31] Aryte Vesperia: Create a malleable and constant force that can fill reoccuring gaps in our command tree, while adjusting the overall use of the guard to be less of a . . "one in a while" force to being a constant, active presence.

[18:50:48] Aryte Vesperia: I will essentially be using the Guard as my administrative construction workers in the future, especially in the case of unusual assignments-- example being the AiR, in which appointment is difficult based upon the stringent security requirements.

[18:50:52] Aryte Vesperia: Does that make esne?

[18:50:54] Aryte Vesperia: Sense, rather.

[18:51:37] Fen Fouroux: Yesah it makes Esne.

[18:51:52] Aryte Vesperia: Question directed to Kryo, that is.

[18:52:02] Kryo Recreant: It does make sense, Imperator, however I do worry for those who are jammed in the E-7 bottleneck. Thank you for your explanation, sir.

[18:52:48] Aryte Vesperia: The opportunity there will be to allow for the training/instruction of said E-7's, to transition into a seat that is maintained and orderly.

[18:52:59] Aryte Vesperia: Rather than throwing an E-7 into a command role with a handshake.

[18:53:08] Aryte Vesperia: And giving them a "good luck."

[18:53:19] Lestat Umarov raises hand.

[18:53:24] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Umarov?

[18:53:53] Lestat Umarov: I have more of a statement regarding E-7's and the so called bottleneck.

[18:54:07] Aryte Vesperia: Go right ahead.

[18:58:16] Lestat Umarov: When I was a wee enlisted, back in the day...I was told something I think every E-7 should keep in mind. Being at the top of the enlisted ranks does not guarantee a promotion to administratio. You have to work for it and meet the standards set by the officer staff and the imperator. And it isn't always a set list of steps to achieve this. Sometimes you may just have to work harder than the next guy. That's what I did. It really isn't so much of a bottleneck. It's more of the effort you're willing to put forth and whether you're the right person for the position.

[18:59:27] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you.

[18:59:54] Aryte Vesperia: Going to quickly power through the next couple of topics so we can get to the big one.

[19:00:58] Aryte Vesperia: Major air combat missions: we lost sight of these a few months ago. I am going to be pushing to make sure we get back into them. This includes all air raids, and routine major combat operations that emphasize joint strike capability of our bomber/fighters.

[19:01:27] Aryte Vesperia: Homepoint clarity: it was asked that we designate a more clear location for our homepoints in Titan. I have done so!

[19:01:43] Aryte Vesperia: II-206: Home positions are generally expected to be set within the primary combat region within the group spawn locations. Refer to the current officer staff if unclear.

----- a. Spawn location: Armory within primary bunker.

----- b. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis through the Imperator.

[19:01:55] Aryte Vesperia: Exceptions being things like Invictus in the drop station and officers in their office.

[19:02:34] Aryte Vesperia: A revision for clarity was added to our attacker rules.

[19:02:49] Aryte Vesperia: As some attackers enjoyed abusing this, I have made it more blatant in the way of jetpack regulations:

[19:03:40] Aryte Vesperia: > MOVEMENT ENHANCEMENT - JETPACK: Jetpacks that enhance/restrict avatar movement via inertia, buoyancy force and other physics enhancing devices beyond 75m from initial point of contact are forbidden. Any item that applies any direct impulse on any axis than Z is forbidden (falling forward after taking altitude is not applying impulse; it is gravity unless the jetpack itself is giving the push). Any device that so allows an avatar such mobility must be accompanied by a reasonable cool-down timer between use, equaling or greater than 15s per charge.

[19:03:54] Aryte Vesperia: > MOVEMENT ENHANCEMENT - DODGEROLLERS: Any dodgeroller that permits the use of its ability when the avatar is in flight is forbidden. Any dodgeroller than pushes an individual beyond the distance of 5 meters is forbidden.

[19:04:09] Aryte Vesperia: And my personal favorite: > EXCEPTIONS: Bloodfist is strictly prohibited from using any sort of movement enhancer within Ordo territory; you may thank Carlla Magic for that!

[19:04:17] Tsume Xiao raises hand/Paw/Thing

[19:04:22] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Xiao?

[19:05:19] Niiya Narayan rasies a hand too.

[19:05:43] Tsume Xiao: I noticed the limit on dodge rolls being 5m. How will this be enforced/proven, and what about weapons that include dodge rollers, such as the ASI MRAR that the attacker just before the meeting was using. How flexible will we be? Do we disallow the weapon, or just tell the user not to use said feature under threat of punishment?

[19:06:06] zanndor Aeon raises hand

[19:06:11] Steeltael Lykin raises paw

[19:06:30] zanndor Aeon: And the MRAR has a gesture, so you can deactivate that and it wont work

[19:06:37] Steeltael Lykin puts his paw down

[19:06:58] Tsume Xiao: From the manual: "2 - Roll: makes your avatar jump in to a roll of maximum distance 10 meters, the roll goes in the direction your moving not aiming, the roll has a 3 second cool down."

[19:07:17] Aryte Vesperia: That's fairly subjective to the situation.

[19:07:34] Aryte Vesperia: If an individual is not utilizing the offending ability, it is fine.

[19:07:42] Aryte Vesperia: Flexibility is at the OIC's discretion.

[19:07:45] Aryte Vesperia: Niiya?

[19:07:48] Niiya Narayan: Doesn't Ethan's plane that he used my model for have a doge-roll?

[19:08:13] Aryte Vesperia: Not that I am aware of.

[19:08:22] Niiya Narayan: or a "Barrel roll"

[19:08:23] Aryte Vesperia: Unless you count the barrel roll . . think.

[19:08:25] Aryte Vesperia: Thing.

[19:08:31] FireFox Breed rises paw

[19:08:40] Niiya Narayan: Whereby the plane becomes invincible for a few seconds or whatever

[19:08:52] Aryte Vesperia: The invincible portion should be removed.

[19:09:04] Ethan Schuman: (Thank you for the reminder)

[19:09:15] Niiya Narayan: Won't people assume we're breaking our own rules if it looks the same though?

[19:09:37] Aryte Vesperia: I would count that seperate, just as vehicle impulse is seperate from jetpacks.

[19:09:56] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Aeon?

[19:09:59] zanndor Aeon: Does the "No dive roll in flight" also mean no jumping, then diving in mid air or falling then dive rolling for that matter?

[19:10:46] zanndor Aeon: Cause you see some people who attack, and they jump then roll in mid air

[19:11:00] Aryte Vesperia: It means exactly what it means. If you're somehow jumping off of air, that's a no.

[19:11:09] Aryte Vesperia: Last question. Firefox?

[19:11:19] FireFox Breed: One thing I need to point out is that 2142 has a dodge roller that is built into there main hud. Would this change in the rules ban them from attacking us?

[19:11:50] Aryte Vesperia: If it exceeds our limitations and they utilize it.

[19:12:03] FireFox Breed nods

[19:12:18] Aryte Vesperia: The mere possession of which is not a concern. Nor do I particularly find 2142's a threat. I am more so interested in curtailing . .

[19:12:28] Aryte Vesperia: "lol jetpacking up to simline and then I dodge roll in coughAmalia."

[19:12:45] Aryte Vesperia: Next!

[19:13:00] Aryte Vesperia: I have made some revisions to the building area policy.

[19:13:15] Aryte Vesperia: Check the Reports > Policy > Current SOP thread for details.

[19:13:34] Aryte Vesperia: And on to the big topics.

[19:14:24] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, as most of you have already noticed: we went for the Roman rank theme for the update. We'll give this a try and see how it goes. It had the most support. Overwhelmingly, actually.

[19:14:49] Aryte Vesperia: Newest handbook (in hub) has the example images in it.

[19:15:00] Aryte Vesperia: Annnnnnnd now for the huge one.

[19:15:52] Aryte Vesperia: After repeated request and repeated lack of interest on Keno's part to make modifications to this build to make it more combat friendly, I've decided we will be pursuing a change in scenery.

[19:16:24] Aryte Vesperia: This comes with clear awareness that . . although a fairly pretty build, it's boring for both defenders and offenders.

[19:17:10] Aryte Vesperia: There will be no significant downtime or "due date" on this matter.

[19:17:42] Aryte Vesperia: We will prebuild the most of it and . . do so prominently in private to avoid the inevitable interjection of bothering builders.

[19:18:06] Aryte Vesperia: So, when it is time, the transition will be rapid and the sims will be down for a minimal period.

[19:18:15] Aryte Vesperia: The overall focus will be to maintain the same imperial feel:

[19:18:28] Aryte Vesperia: It will keep the Romanesque/gothic feel.

[19:19:16] Aryte Vesperia: With a grand administration building serving as our main area, in addition to several outyling buildings that will be "objective" areas.

[19:19:41] Aryte Vesperia: This will permit enemy forces to make gains and attempt at securing portions of our base.

[19:20:05] Aryte Vesperia: The decision has not yet been made as to whether or not Chronus will be involved in this build.

[19:20:33] Aryte Vesperia: In the event that we opt to go for a single region headquarters, Chronus will be tasked to service as an outpost.

[19:21:25] Aryte Vesperia: I will provide a model for everyone's viewing upon its finality. Currently we are in the acquisition stage, attempting to scrape up custom texture work to fit the theme.

[19:22:02] Aryte Vesperia: It will be a fairly "severe" appeal-- for example: http://www.nexusjournal.com/2008/Images/Salk_Institute.jpg

[19:22:27] Aryte Vesperia: (Color wise.)

[19:22:31] Aryte Vesperia: (Not saying that is the build itself.)

[19:23:06] Aryte Vesperia: I will keep you all up to date as the effort goes forward.

[19:23:36] Aryte Vesperia: And I dread so asking.

[19:23:37] Aryte Vesperia: But.

[19:23:39] Aryte Vesperia: Questions?

[19:23:39] Trevor Russell raises hand.

[19:23:48] Trevor Russell: Sir, has the design been for the most part conceptualized? If not, Given recent assignments and projects in Tactica, I would like to suggest that through the CO, Tactica have a voice in the conceptual planning.

[19:23:59] Aryte Vesperia: It is largely conceptualized.

[19:24:06] Aryte Vesperia: Ms. Narayan? :]

[19:24:16] Niiya Narayan: Who's involved and can I be included please?

[19:24:28] Aryte Vesperia: Hell yeah.

[19:24:41] Aryte Vesperia: Design is Tiridates Mikadze's doing.

[19:25:00] Aryte Vesperia: I assume that means Agares has been conscripted.

[19:25:17] Aryte Vesperia: I strangled Vincent and dragged him back from MW2. So I believe he'll be on board as well.

[19:25:47] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you for asking.

[19:25:49] Aryte Vesperia: Annnyone else?

[19:25:52] Havoc Sparta raises hand

[19:25:56] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Sparta?

[19:26:11] Steeltael Lykin raises his paw as well.

[19:26:19] Havoc Sparta: Is the design goign to be more close quarters orientated? or More lengthy bridges and courtyards etc.?

[19:26:32] Aryte Vesperia: A mixture of both!

[19:26:37] Corsi Mousehold raises hand.

[19:26:50] Aryte Vesperia: There will be threat areas for distance and hardpoints that will be CQC.

[19:26:53] Ethan Schuman raises his hand as well, in turn.

[19:27:03] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Lykin?

[19:27:10] Steeltael Lykin: Sir, Will this new build increase or decrease minimum staffing required to protect this new build?

[19:27:16] Aryte Vesperia: . . hm.

[19:27:30] Aryte Vesperia: That's a really good idea.

[19:27:43] Aryte Vesperia: Feasibly: you could probably effectively defend it with a smaller number using said hard points.

[19:28:04] Aryte Vesperia: Whereas this sim is basically "GIANT FUCKING LINE," there will be buildings and areas of operation.

[19:28:16] Aryte Vesperia: Good question, rather. Not idea.

[19:28:22] Aryte Vesperia: Ms. Mousehold?

[19:28:28] Corsi Mousehold: I have noticed that we as a group like the long range aspect of the current and previous builds. But the desires for single sim combat is strong to keep the lag from locking us up. Perhaps one of the outpost style ideas be an actual home point an attacker can attempt to get to.

[19:29:13] Aryte Vesperia: Hm . .

[19:29:41] Aryte Vesperia: Agreed.

[19:29:52] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Schuman?

[19:30:21] Ethan Schuman: How friendly will this new sim design be for air combat?

[19:30:42] Aryte Vesperia: No giant spires.

[19:30:54] Typhon Perun raises a hand.

[19:30:58] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Perun?

[19:32:13] Typhon Perun: I was wondering, if the IEA staff would have a say in the classroom, or classroom designs? I know we had a team effort to make one that looked pretty good before Keno's classroom was finished, and was wondering about that.

[19:32:29] Aryte Vesperia: Yes you can have a class, haha.

[19:32:35] Aryte Vesperia: Anything else?

[19:32:38] Trevor Russell raises hand

[19:32:40] Havoc Sparta raises hand

[19:32:42] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Russell?

[19:32:55] Trevor Russell: one last remark....can we have a meeting room that doesn't require shouting?

[19:33:01] Aryte Vesperia: NO.

[19:33:03] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Sparta?

[19:33:06] Trevor Russell: T_T

[19:33:06] zanndor Aeon: lold

[19:33:13] thatguy Andel raises a hand.

[19:34:18] Havoc Sparta: will teh new design perhaps allow astra to acquire a more gunship style feel aircraft if it is urban for say air support against a tank unit. or other such large scale ground attackers that say a tank or other heavy artillery would not be able to hit or otherwise would be ill suited for?

[19:34:49] Aryte Vesperia: I WANT A GUNSHIP, so yes.

[19:34:52] Aryte Vesperia: Andel?

[19:35:58] thatguy Andel: A suggestion for the new sim build, I think we should have some random objectives like capture points or so, then have a statue of you (you being Aryte) that must be destroyed for the enemies victory.

[19:36:05] Aryte Vesperia: Lol.

[19:36:10] Aryte Vesperia: There will be objectives.

[19:36:14] Aryte Vesperia: So sure.

[19:36:15] Aryte Vesperia: i guess.

[19:36:20] Aryte Vesperia: OKAY let's be done, haha.

[19:36:38] Aryte Vesperia: Promotions: I want to add a few, so I'll post them by tomorrow. \o/

[19:36:42] Aryte Vesperia: OTHERWISE.
