I finally got a chance to spend most of the day in LWO. It wasn't until mid-afternoon.early evening hours (MDT) that we had enough Bishops on to start organizing missions to get a push started back on the knits. There were (give or take) 10 of my squaddies on channel.
We had missions up, both for us and the general Bish populus, one of which was a 7 flight B17 run with Pony escorts, and another was a small Hog raid. Good fights were generated out of those missions, and even though some of them didn't work out, people still seemed to have fun.
When I compare the stripped down version of this test (HT presented first) with the current version that is currently running, I find I am in my element now. I like creating and participating in missions involving the different strengths of those choosing to join in. Some guys are VERY good in the furball scene, some guys prefer the bomber thing, others still are great tankers. When it all comes together, you get great fights, large and small.
Overall, I had a good time in LWO. I realize that HT still has bugs to work out (btw, HiTech.. Flayd said he found more..) so I'm giving it some time.
P.S. to the Knits who saved thier zone base from that Bish town-busting mission. I and a few BOPs cooked that one up and got toasted by you guys. Great defense!
