' Wrote:One of the comments on here was about staging some of the battles that represent what's going to happen between 4.85 and 4.86.
We as admins were asked about doing this back in March by Igiss and the dev team. We feel that this is a good idea - doing something along the lines of the battles in Leeds that were set up a while back, where people could just do a /restart and get a fully equipped ship that was pre-set up for the combat.
One issue is that we would need participation and cooperation from our players. We're talking about a MASSIVE fleet battle here - 60 to 70 people participating, multiple camera ships flying around as well, and unfortunately even if the tide of the battle goes a certain way, it'll still have to have a pre-determined outcome. We don't have a problem with that from an administrative perspective - we just have to make sure that the server is actually up to it.
That would be most cool. Most cool. You could do that on another server though because if you did that on 24/7 you'd have a lot of spectators and that would cause even more lag.
