Special Night Events? (Don't Flame My Thread)
« on: April 08, 2020, 09:32:16 AM »
Hello fellas!

So, I am aware that a number of people around here are not a fans of night combat in game and some for sense able reasons like eyesight etc..  For those who don't mind it or enjoy it would you be interested in a special event some evening involving combat under the stars?  It could be a medium range bombing run, GV combat, or a midnight PT torpedo run against a Battleship.  I am just throwing this out their to test the waters and see if anyone would enjoy something a little different some weekend.  Here are a few videos where you can get a feel for the atmosphere.

We had a Snapshot back in the day of a night raid, it was quite fun. Perhaps this summer we can plan a one-off night event to see if everyone hates it.

I have a night event I've been wanting to try, perhaps I'll run it here soon.
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!

I have some night events in mind - and frankly full night time isn't bad as the moonlight provides a good amount of light. The issue is Gamma settings make night time trivial and the game look horrible.

Actually, with the dar it's almost like any fighter is a night fighter....

Wingman: "Roger, It's 1:30 now, what do I do 'til then?"
