You guys really need to make use of that. We had a couple of our "military advisors" over there, to do some advising and training, but the place was a ghost town. Granted, it is a holiday, and a lot of people are out of game, avoiding wife aggro, etc., but even so, you guys really need to make use of that more.

We've got two companies defending on Nox, and we're rolling these Clan Wolf guys left and right, but we're barely holding ground, because the Clanners don't have anyone attacking them, so they're just swarming the attack. If you guys had more people on and attacking, we would be able to hold this world just fine, and you would have a good chance of gaining a planet back.

We have most of Lothan. OLD is working between Lothan and Nox as needed until the ceasefire.

Appreciate all the support.

We use Raidcall and don't frequent the FRR hub unless we need to coordinate with another group.

I think part of the problem has been the date itself.

We're usually much more active, and we did have a 12-man in the upper channels later in the evening.

Unless you have a completely full 12-man, you really should try to be on the FRR Hub. This is something that holds the FRR back because we still have a number of loyalist units and a majority of mercs that are off somewhere else on their own servers and not communicating with each other or even possibly aware that they could combine their two groups of six and form a 12 and whatnot. It's a called "Hub" for a reason.

[Divine Retribution]

That's why I wrote unless we need to coordinate with another group. When we are running 10+ we generally don't have anyone hop onto the hub.

Just a piece of advice from the FWLM, and how we've managed to develop the strong community we have, is encourage everyone to drop on the faction hub TS, and discourage private unit TS servers. The private TS servers only serve to divide and segregate your community, and if you're all dropping in the same place, you can get a lot of cross-unit cooperation and play, which helps build a sense of community, and helps promote the sharing and developing of new tactics, builds, etc.

The FWLM has only one TS, and we all drop there. Each unit has its own private bays, but we all operate on the same server, so anyone looking to join a group can pop in and hop around the bays to find one, whether its their same unit or not, whether they're looking for CW or not. I really recommend the FRR adopt a similar policy, because of the huge benefits it has in building and sustaining a community.

Take a look around, in almost all of the threads in the FRR subforums we spam the FRR hub TS info. We may not have only one TS, my unit for example is part of an multi game community and we won't give up our TS.
But we try to have at least some guys over to the hub as often as we can, even if its just one guy for coordination.

And because its not in this thread already:

Goood, goooood. } : = 8 )

Just felt another voice encouraging your players to get on the TS might help, especially considering we're sending guys over to help, and they weren't finding many on. Hopefully it's just an artifact of the holiday.

Yes, the past few days have been a bit slow. But I hope its going to pick up speed again today.
Also we had a lot of people that did a LOT of CW drops in the past three weeks. And that was kind of exhausting really. There was a week in which I was literally active in ALL attack phases. So I guess some of us just needed a break.

If in doubt, just poke some guys on the Hub though. Sometimes people idle around and at the worst they can tell you who to talk to.

[Abivard]

Being only on a unit TS instead of the faction hub TS is akin to being a pug who won't talk to his teammates nor listen to what they say, don't be the CW Pug team, get on your Faction TS and coordinate with the other teams.

Anyone who was on all last week knows how often we use the FRR hub to get together with pilots from various units for 12 man winning sprees, and hats off to you fine gentlemen, and woman! Hang around this week and you'll see more activity. We didn't even have too many get on for our company practice, but those who did ended up dropping in CW after a few warm up matches. I was there with Damon.

Also, as far as coms go, we encourage all to use them but it's not a requirement to be on it at all times. At the least, one can keep a tab open for easy access. We do make it a point to get our own guys onto the FRR hub, but if other units feel comfortable using their own, by all means go ahead. Pop in and say hi from time to time though.

The addition of Faction Chat is awesome. Easy way to coordinate targets between drops.
