I tried to get ahold of both you, Duc, and Leaph, before tonight's PvP event. Figured I'd ask you to ride along on the Blue Harvest with me. Couldn't get ahold of either of you before it started.I'll tell you the same thing I told Leaph earlier today. Create a new character, level up a bit, fly around, see what you think. Try it out before you commit one way or the other to transferring.EDIT: Drink's on me for the first pilot who knows where my Y-8's name came from!Message Edited by Halyn on 07-30-2005 08:21 PM
Blue Harvest was the name given to mask the true nature of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In order to make sure there weren't a bunch of crazed fans and reporters on location, the name Blue Harvest: Horror Beyond Imagination (I think) was given. Also, if you type in www.blueharvest.com, it'll take you to......I shouldn't say. Just go and check it out.

wierd you say this Duc...I started on starsider tonight with a toon [named Ratty] to see what it's like. I'm going to make ace, fly around a bit, see what the fuss is about and if I like it..I'll transfer Leaph. If not..well I'll play both toons. I got to say one thing though...loading times on Starsider are about half the length as on Bria...which for me and my less than uber PC is nice.
But yeh...umming and arring is probably a bad idea and non-fruitful. The best thing to do is try it with an alt..then decide.
-Leaph
P.S
Halyn's Squadron's HQ looks fantastic on the inside...my jaw hit the floor when it dropped in amazement. Some proper feng shui interior design genius going on there
Also...grinding down the shields/armour etc on T5 gunboat whilst in a normal z-95 with a prototype gun takes too long. Thankyou to the guy [can't remember your name] who gave it a good bump so I could finish it off before it self destructed.Oh and Blue Harvest? Not sure and I'm not going to google it because that'd be cheatingMessage Edited by LeaphChausew on 07-30-2005 08:34 PM
Hmm maybe i should run around there a bit more. All i know is, my ping time is twice that on starsider then on bria, so that kinda put me off to it. On bria, i have like a pingtime of say... 41ms.. logged into starsider this evenign and it was like 200 or so.
Then again, i would like to see a what a real workign squadron PA is like since they all fail miserably on bria.
Anyone have any further elboration on this:
Characters moving WITH items will NOT be allowed to take their factory crates, credits, resources, items in datapad and structures. The override function will allow the move to proceed even if those items exist on the character.
Ok, so factory crates, credits, and my nice 200K units worth of 900 OQ/PE polymetric radioctive is sort of a no brainer and i wouldnt be able to take that with me.
Now, datapad.. ok.. sounds like the Flight Computers gonna go bye bye, along with any speeders. No problem. Ships? just redeed them i guess.
Now, structures, what exactly does "structures" encompass by sonys defintion? Houses for sure, what else? Hopefully they dont consider a ship deed a structure.

Thanks for the compliment, we worked hard on that, glad to see it impresses.
Sorry lol..meant in the context of 'he belongs to that squadron' rather than he runs it. But yeh..The squadron HQ = pretty
-Leaph
so its the best of both worlds. I reckon I'll split my playtime more or less equally...I mean, I need to get more screenies from different angles of that HQ after all.. 
*Note* I'd patent that interior design if I were you Message Edited by LeaphChausew on 07-31-2005 05:33 PM

Yeah, but he outranks you.
And he's also my new XO and I outrank both of you and... wait... this is really weird...
However, to all you new starsiderian pilots, you guys going reb or imp pilots?
(Psst, go reb! We need more pilots to even it out. )
