A poll on gamespeed for The Forge. I've always run it on speed 8 in previous years, but there seems to be some interest in setting it higher. What speed do you like? (The poll will run for 3 days, you have one vote and may change it if you change your mind)
The server will run about 90 days so 3 days to decide on this is no biggie I figure.
(EDIT: aw crap, I just realised I didn't get the turns per year settings right... I lost track of the old gfs... I'll fix that tomorrow to slow it down so it will run about 90 days to get to 2303)

As I stated in the previous thread, I support Taldren's claim that Speed 9 is real time and players would benifit from running missions at that speed. Given that Speed 9 is real time, 1 vs 1 missions are pretty easy, 2 vs 1 missions are a bit harder and requires more thinking on your feet.. 3 vs 1 or fleeting missions, then you really have to use all the features of the game.. mix in Asteroid fields and black holes, you now have an immersive tactical game that really challenges your captaining skill..
Plus some of us are use to playing on Strayy's tavern which runs missions at speed 10 and when going against multiple opponents, even AI, it can be a bit much if you are alone, IMHO it is a bit fast.. although I haven't lost a mission on Strayy's Tavern, I have had my ship pretty wrecked because I keep timing myself for Speed 9 and mission is at speed 10..
Speed 9 is a nice place to be on a server. Not too slow, not too fast.

Cool, it's in the hands of the players now. I'll go with the results of the poll when it closes. I don't dispute the "real time" business, but I'm pretty sure that we have been running at speed 8 for ages, it provides a more SFB-like and cerebral battle, in my opinion.

Speed 5 is real time! I'm serious, an SFB turn = 1 minute.
Speed 8 = Double real time. I've always preferred that.

Well I don't know what game you were playing. Most SFB turns lasted hours in our games! :P And by your math, speed 10 is double real time.
Have you been chewing on your Quaaludes again DH? ;D

I sucked SO BAD at SFB. My brothers used to beat me all the time in that game. I usually would wind up dead in less than an hour.
I'm trying to think of how long that 2 1/2 hour fleet battle t00l, BearSlayer and I had on GW2 would have taken in SFB . . .

Probably two 8 hour shifts... ;D

Looks like this will be close. If it ends up a tie I will make the call.

Speed Slider 9 is ok or 8.

Hmmm... The Tavern OP and EAW servers run at speed 9 ... Pestalence, you're seeing missions running at 10 ?? must be the new ED missions..... could be raising speed / against ships drawn..

Scripts don't have control over game/server speed ... though it could really make for some right bastard missions if they did (gotta get back to that "evil" tag someday... ;D )

I might have been mistaken on game speed.. I forgot you adjusted the turn ratio of the ships...

NP Pesty... :) Thanks Dave, lookin forward to more of your "evilness" ;D

Well, the 8's have it then. The good news is that means I don't have to do anything! ;D
-
8 speed is fine for me
-
Prefer 8 myself :) It's all good.
