There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Having trouble with site.  Can't login etc.

Clarification?

"CiC's may not assign a squad or squads to defend task groups as they may not be attacked. "

Does this mean CiC's will not be allowed to assign defense, since the enemy will not be allowed to attack the TG?
Or does it mean the CiC's will not be allowed to assign defense because the enemy might not attack the TG since it's not a primary objective target?

So would it be clearer to say: "CiC's cannot assign a squad or squads to defend task groups as they are not primary targets and might not be attacked."

The only reason I bring this up is the history of people coming here and arguing their interpretations of the FSO rules in general, and frame-specific rules that were unclear.

Your wording was much better than mine. Thanks ImADot. :)

Quoting you below is correct.

Does this mean points will be awarded if they are attacked or are only primary targets scored?



Edit:  Never mind, I missed the line in special conditions explaining this.

Did you write this FSO Daddog? It doesn't list an author.

Looks like a fun setup.
Only gripe is the same one I have for most of the FSO's. And thats no alt limit. Just because planes were designed to be able to fly at 30K. Doesnt mean they usually went that high or fought at 30K.

I'm willing to bet the reason there is no alt ceiling is, all CICs want Dred to be able go up to 30K and stay up there, preferrably out of the way.   :D

Working on the sides today/tonight. Will have them done Saturday or Sunday. Sorry for the delay. Been out of town. Still out of town. :)

lol Just never liked alt caps.

Figured without alt caps, tower only dar, dar off below 500', and no icons below 500' that it can make for some nice strikes while everyone is 30k over head. ;) That is if the CiC wants to try a strike like that.  :cool:

LMAO!

My preferred fighting alt is between 10 and 15K.

If you see me higher then that in the MA its because Im looking for something specific that high. Or I've been AFK a while in climbout In which case you probably would have an e advantage due to climbing  LOL
