Regarding points shifts....
I pinged 1 wingman 1x with a 7mm, and an hour later when he discoed I got a kill. We were 5 sectors out of the action, no enemy got a shot on him, but does that count as a loss?
A dozen of us were trying to land at c76 at the end. The CM comes on and says "Guys it's about to move out of sector I have to move it" -- okay so he moves it. THEN... THEN
For SOME damned reason somebody kept RESETTING the waypoints every 20 seconds. One second it's heading SE, okay, so we line up, now it turns before it's even done straightening out, GRRR.. we swear, reposition, it's about done with its turn, NOW it turns again! Check the map, and now it's got a East-ward wedge-shape 3-way cirlce patter. GDAMMIT! Try again, NOW IT'S GOING NORTH!! WTF?!?! For 10 minutes straight a dozen of us tried to land, and it was reset 6+ times. We lost a LOT of planes to crashes.
Are these going to count against us?
No, I didn't catch who as doing it, I kept checking the fleet list, but always too late to see who was responsible.
Also, how do you rank it if a squaddie lands, and on the CV deck is breakdancing on his prop (got this on film!) and KSes himself with 20mm into the deck (not thinking)? Before he did this I pinged his tail with 7mm. I got a kill but obviously he made it back (mostly) safe and sound.
I know we took a heft points penalty for some of the things that happened in the last 10 minutes.
