Is the beta installer going to suffice or do we need to wait for a final installer??

The answer being "yes, beta installer is the one to use".

this is the installer that caused my game to no longer function, after 3 years of being able to keep my game going.

Having the game on your system for 3 years .. that means there is a good chance the files have finally become corrupt.. Even Windows XP is recommended by Microsoft to be reinstalled every 18 months to prevent kernel corruption.

AOTK4 Installer updated in first link. Unzip and run the exe file.

When you uninstall AOTK4 Beta, you will need to run OP + v4.0 in order to repair your game.

With the new installer.. it will install and uninstall clean with no need for any repairs.

There is no freaking way I can remeber all this stuff, I'd mess up and get in trouble for sure.

Aren't we to the point yet when we can just say "play and have a good time"?

The rules are designed to make the game fun and fair for everyone. ie. the rule prohibiting deepstriking ships from running, is meant to make bases defensible. The hex bans make it possible for a fleet to at least try to keep the enemy from taking a hex. The fleeting rules prevent too much cheese from being assembled in one place. The point system is designed to encourage the use of line and command type cruisers which are supposed to be the bread and butter of the fleet, as well as penalize captains who place large ships in unwarranted risk, and lose them.

Not unless unless 2/3 of the shiplist is Restricted.

If you have any questions, ask.

Well...I havent had to reinstall the game either...

I'm not going to get into the whole ship rule/restriction thing again. I really want to, but I'm not going to.

Here is a question though. Say perhaps I wanted to fly Lryan. What is the biggest ship I could fly(exactly plz) without having to worry about who/when/where/why/what else I flew with. $:-\$

L-CCHf.

Feel free to "get into it" but I request that you don't do it in this thread. Did you fly in Jahkle's PBR? This is a simplified (believe it or not) version of that.

So I don't have to worry about that I am just flying a plain jane F5C, thus I should be able to fleet with anyoone with no worries. With only being on once or so every few days, don't have time to watch what the others have. So this works.

Ifyou fly a CA or CC of any kind, you'll never have to worry about fleeting with anyone. No need to stick to smaller ships unless you really want to.

marstone · « **Reply #45 on:** June 03, 2008, 10:54:51 pm »

I like the smaller ones for hex flipping, but looking at kicking up to a D7 soon.

What day and approx time will the scoring rounds end?
I'm assuming we'll have scoring rounds like ATOK 3...?
There are no details in the rules section about this.

Since Pesty's the "official" admin now he'll have to "officially" approve this. But how about Sundays night 8 PM eastern time? This will give the Klingons a chance to catch "Desperate Housewives" as we know they never miss an episode.

Server started on Monday.. So, Sunday sounds good.

Hey, those chicks are smoking hot...

Never seen more than 5 minutes of it, but my wife's a fan...

8 PM on Sunday will be fine, sir. (Or whatever time is easier or preferred, just so I know when to cut-off the count.)

Cptn_Pestalence_XC · « **Reply #50 on:** June 06, 2008, 05:40:10 pm »

8 PM EST / 7 PM CST sounds good to me.

how is it the I-BB does not take the same amount of points on the board as a K-B11?

given the exception the I BB is the only ship allowed to fight with the more than rule set of 3 ppd per fleet?

seems a bit biased...

The I-BBZ I would agree. The B11K could take the I-BB pretty easily by itself. Having the right support ships for that thing is important. The best chance you guys had was Marstone who caught me alone with his H-ID. Too bad he was using illegal fighters.

I think making all BBs take 8 points is reasonable. B11k shgouldn't be singled out compare to the I-BBZ

Illegal? heavies? I understood they won't even load into non-h ships...?
