XWA Combat Chamber simulation idea

[Calder]

It still involves flying two skirmishes.

[LC La Forge]

Fel: That's what the TC is for. If it's too close to something else, then deny it on those grounds. Easy.

Sir.

[Fel]

Calder: I wasn't questioning the flying of it, I was referring only to the credit for creation.

La Forge: I'm talking about the criteria for what's too close, not who's deciding it!

[Calder]

It's really quite easy to make a skirmish file in XWA so I wouldn't give much credit - if any at all - for skirmish creation there. If any credit is given it should be in the order of eight or ten to one.

[LC La Forge]

Admiral Fel: Oh. Well, in that case, my answer is still the same: NavyTC's discrection. I don't think we have an set rules about this for the other missions (TIE, XvT, BoP), so complicate things?

Also, for those who don't know: The NavyTC is the Imperial Navy Tactical Co-ordinator: essentially the one who reviews missions for inclusion into the Combat Chamber, reviews Flight Performance Reports, and may even set up larger competitions, etc. As of now, this position is vacant, but I would expect to see it filled soon enough.

I missed this post yesterday, but I'll still put my two cents in. It's a good idea, and some credit should be due for creating a decent mission. Everything else I was going to say has already been said, which serves me right for arriving late to the conversation.

[LC La Forge]

Alright, so, it looks like we have the following right now:

-XWA Skirmishes should be added to the Combat Chamber
-Pilots should recieve credit for flying them, but the credit should be less than a normal mission (1:2 and 1:3 ratios have been presented).
-Officers should recieve credit for creation, but the ration between a SKM and a normal mission should be quite high (1:8 and 1:10 have been presented)
-Normal pilot file submission rules would apply to these missions (Skirmishes) as well

I added the last one for argument's sake. Anyways, let's go from here, as this essentially is a recap of the entire thread. Comments, questions, concerns?

[Vortagh]

I know that we don't have any XAW missions in our Combat Chamber, which is annoying but expected due to the low quality of editors out there (the ones I've seen, anyway).

*coughcough*

XwA has the finest editor out there available - AlliED.

I own a full license and it rocks. Now I just need the time to finally convert my missions from TIE and XvT to XWA. And refine them.

[Syrtaras]

... and as we all know, that will never happen. :P

Or do I have to remind you of the tons of missions that you promised to send me when I first was NavyTC in 2001? :P

[Fel]

While we're at it, where are our Dom2 medals?

[LC La Forge]

Eh... wrong thread, Admiral?

Anyways, let's keep on track. Any more ideas for having XWA skirmishes in the Combat Chamber?

[Calder]

You never tell a vice admiral he's posting on the wrong thread, or tell him to get back on track.

If he wants to completely change the very nature of this conversation, then that's his prerogative to do so.

[LC La Forge]

Erm... well, see, there's this other thread about the MoX, so I figured...

Bah, nevermind. I'll go scrub the warp manifolds again.


EDIT: The comment about not being on track was actually aimmed at Syrt. Apparently I missed, though.

[Vortagh]

After I found out how much work is involved in turning them from sucky XvT missions into great XWA missions, I gave up the thought of EVER completing (or even starting) that task.

Plus, as I barely if ever play XWA nowadays, I will let them rot on the backup tapes anyways.


Fel: You wanna keep your admin on the IS boards?

[Fel]

Eh... wrong thread, Admiral?

It was directed at Vortagh in a follow-up to Syrt's question. If you don't get it, don't worry about it; Vort did.

Vort: I didn't ever ask about Dom2. You must be imagining.
