I don't want to make any more 512 maps.

So cit, thanks for your work in creating the terrains. I hope you continue in your efforts.

Amen:) Any form of support Fester or other map designers needs either publicly or financially  to create new maps should be all players burden.
It's HT's game but they give us enuf latitude to institute change by our efforts. Using resources such as the few map makers only makes good sense.

But your name alone(Fester) dictates that nightmares are fun.

Personally I think that Fester's maps are the best in the game.  I really hope you make some more, and if you need any help I'd be more than happy to pitch in.  Drop me a line at: mgrabruc@direcway.com if you are interested.  Hope you all are having a good day.

Cit - Would it be possible to start with a 256 map to get your feet wet and expand it in modules?  You could just leave 3/4 blank until you ad another part.

Was just looking at OzKansas and noticing the amount of free space in the corners.

Since Tank-town and furball island are some popular areas on other maps, why not incorporate those into OZKS. Say, set aside 9 or so grids in each corner.  

Tank-town
Set up invincible ack at spawn points to dissuade campers.

Furball Island. Make airfield ACK indestructible to dissuade vulchers.

PTsville Water world with PTs and LVTs battling it out.  Maybe in a forest of squids?

Fleetopolis: CAs and DDS duking it out in epic fleet battles. No planes.. just ships. Might need more than 9 grids to make this work.

Of course, make all fields and ports at these sub-worlds uncapturable.

Even if necessary to set up a 60,000' mountain range around each corner.

Problem here is, of course, that they would need their own field type ( to specify them as uncapturable ) and then the software would need to be changed so as not to factor in those fields when calculating reset for the base capture crowd battling it out in the center of the map.

Just a thought.

I find it more than amusing to people flying at the most rediculous of alts, sometimes 25k and above. They have absolutly no clue what is going on, how to fly the new planes (which aren't all that different), they are like little lost lambs. And when they do come down they just die or end up on the deck.

I was winging with Dutchie today and we saw this happen more than once. We were lvl'd off at 16k in 38s. Out from our HIGH 6 we see this dot. Well over 25k. Lo and behold here comes this Bishop 38 re-entering the earths atmosphere and ining on us like we were standing still. This 38 makes a few passes loses all his E, all his alt that he once had over us, loses parts of his plane, and dives to the deck and out of sight.

I thought that was goning to be about it for the strato-dweebs but I was wrong.

Here comes Mr King Spit9. Again, 20k+. This time rather than making a few passes and extending he decides to blow his alt advantage, blow his E advantage and then allow us to bow his tail off shortly there after.

I can't help but ask myself what use is it to waste all that gas, all that time and all that alt if you are just going to die to your own stupidity? I have yet to find an answer, except that these guys are just still clueless little lambs. And are the ones I will devote and entire 100% of my flight to killing if I have to.

That happens to me in a 38 and a couple of others from time to time, step away for a smoke or go afk for whatever reason, stay away too long, and come back to a 20k alt, usually right over the base I was heading to. That Spit V sure can climb now too. It's not always purposeful, but I do agree some like it that way it seems for whatever reason.

That would be cool. I was always partial to the desert style maps myself, don't really know why.

[kj714]

I have more afk time now too, seems like alot of Fokkers disappeared on us. It's usually only me, AZDiablo and Elec on nowadays.

[SirLoin]

Hey Fester..Make a nice winter map and I'll send ya a case..

2 weeks............currently under way for Battle of Britain scenario starting Aug 1st

[dedalos]

LMAO

16K is OK but 20K makes you a clueless litle lamb?

You are suggesting that the prices be raised so someone can be hired to do work that is already being done for free?

Brilliant.
