This has nothing to do with Mechwarrior but I'm going to post it anyway. I made this yesterday out of the photos I took of the transit of Venus. Pretty happy with how well it turned out considering I just used a cheap point and shoot camera held up to the eyepiece of my telescope.

Nice, I was going to totally ask you if you had observed that. I heard it's not going to happen again from earth's perspective in another hundred years.

That is way cool.

Thanks Jace, missed it here thanks to the Sun not deciding to show itself until halfway through the morning!

Look forward to blowing up your mechs, Morson, and the Blazing Aces...

As we look forward to you trying.....

Oh well, shoot me, had to respond just for the bump!

Hi Tera! Good to see the Juraians back in action.

Jace: That's damn cool mate, thanks for the share. We had cloud cover over New England all day so I was stuck watching it on CNN's NASA stream.

[Aidan Ramsdell]

Wow, I have not been keeping up with the Aces, my bad. So MegaMek? I have no idea on how to use it besides single player, so can anybody give me any tips? thanks.

[Sikreci]

Hey Aidan, good to see you again. Multiplayer is basically the same as singleplayer, the fact you have it running means the hard part is over. Feel free to come to one of our Friday night Megamek games, we're playing quick games with simple rules to keep it friendly for new players.

[Sir Trent Howell]

I found Sir Blackhole from the old Gold Knights days. Sent him the link, hopefully we'll hear from him and can bring him into the fold.

[Aidan Ramsdell]

Thanks Jace it's good to be back. I'll pop on over this friday to check it out. What is the server port?

[SirBlackhOle]

A little about your experience with MechWarrior and BattleTech, or team games in general - in particular League play

Mechwarrior 4 with the Gold Knights....whats up guys!! Long time no see!

Why you're interested in the Aces

Dying to play some MW with the old crew again.

What division you are interested in

Anywhere im needed!


Hopefully a few of you remember me...got a pm from SirTrent on NBT forums after randomly coming across some posts mentioning the Gold Knights. Small world!

Hey man! Welcome back! Glad to see you've kept the "Sir" as well. Once a knight always a knight.

You'll probably get a mail from Morson or Jace getting you into our Googlegroup.

Depends on who's hosting. Just hop on the TS3 server when we're playing and we'll give you the server info.

[Victor Morson]

Hey Blackhole! It's good to see you again man. I see Jace already is in the process of getting you setup on the roster, so that's awesome. MWO is just around the horizon now, so hopefully we'll all be dropping together soon!

[SirBlackhOle]

Yeah I'm super excited. Been playing some MW4 lately and having a blast doing it. Anyone else playing any MW games lately? MW:LL? MW4?

[Sir Trent Howell]

I played MW up to the close of NBT's HardCore league. I led Lyran Alliance for a while, did a lot of drop commanding and scouting and fun stuff. I haven't been able to get back into playing MW4 due to crappy Apple routers so I'm just looking forward to MWO at the moment.

On Fridays we play MegaMek together, and a few of the others are playing Diablo and TF2 and whatnot.

[SirBlackhOle]

I've never played MegaMek, but if yall have room for a beginner I would love to hang out and learn.

[Aidan Ramsdell]

yeah, same here, but ... what is TS3? i have no idea about anything right now.

[Sir Trent Howell]

Blackhole: Go here http://megamek.info/ and download the 0.35.29 client. That's the one we're using for now. It's the tabletop version of Battletech similar to Mechcommander in style.


Aidan: Go here http://www.teamspeak.com/ and download TeamSpeak 3. It's our voice communications program which is absolutely required to play. Makes giving orders and calling targets so much easier.
