Combat Wingman 'at the ready' this weekend!

Postby JohnLuke » Fri Feb 12, 2016 7:39 pm

Hi commanders.

I plan to do a lot of Haz-RES (or High-RES) hunting this weekend, and I thought I'd throw in invitation out here. I know that some of our group members have not been fortunate enough to have experienced the fun and excitement of killing NPC's in a RES with a wingman. I am offering my services as that wingman this weekend. :D Your experience level doesn't matter, as long as you are reasonably comfortable with your ship in a Low Intensity RES (or higher). I don't care what ship you fly, either.... as long as it has weapons on it. ;) We will be flying in a Haz-RES or High-RES just so that you know. I will do everything that I can to keep you alive, and have proven to be successful at that many, many times in the past with new wingmen, but.... your survival is ultimately your responsibility.

The idea here is to expose guys and gals to a combat wing that haven't had that opportunity yet. Also, if you've winged once or twice, that's cool too. Come on down for some pew pew! :twisted:

If our game times sync up and you want to give wings a go, send me an in-game chat message when you're on, or better yet.... buzz me on TeamSpeak. On Saturday and Sunday I expect to be in-game during these hours (subject to RL discruptions, of course!): 9:00AM-1:00PM and 8:00PM-11:00PM on your in-game clock. Of course it's not like a regimented work schedule (I get enough of that during the week), but you can expect that I'll be logging in and out around those times.

I will be BH in the general Azrael area (give or take 60 ly). (Terminology used specifically to make Commander Tifu smile) ;)

If this sounds interesting to you and you aren't on the in-game friends list, send me a friend request at your earliest convenience.

I ask that you do a few things before we wing up.

#1 setup your wingman hotkeys in control bindings. Mine looks like this:

Pick any 5 keys that work for you. Having those bindings setup is VERY helpful to the success of the wing. Attacking the same target at the same time (most of the time) is how we'll split the bounties. I will be using a KWS on ship Vulture size and larger. When in a wing, we split the increased bounties of the KWS as long as one wing member scans the NPC, so don't feel that you need one if you don't already have a KWS on board.

#2 Have TeamSpeak running. (link to our TS info) Even if you don't have a mic, TS is very helpful in a wing, so that I can guide you through wing setup and combat situation changes. I can talk a lot faster than I can type and it's much safer to not text and fly. ;) I will probably create a TS channel, and it will be at the bottom of the list of channels, aptly named "JL".

I know that some of our newer members are not able to join the Mobius private group right now due to an issue at FD. I have a private group setup, and am more than happy to utilize it this weekend to wing up with some of our new members that aren 't able to access our Mobius group in-game yet.

I am looking forward to winging up with some new faces over the next couple of days! :D

Just had a blast in our Haz RES session. Nice to wing up and pew pew some bad guys together. Definitely something worth doing again.

See you later buddy :)

Ps. look into that rock camouflage I was talking about ;)

Absolutely, having those buttons and knowing how to use them makes wing flight at least with multiple members much easier, I have this as well as many other functions setup both on my HOTAS and with voice attack.

Honestly voice attack is fairly brilliant, yes it for some reason can't understand me ever when I see "Engine boost" but that's about it, then again I have that one on my throttle anyways.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

CMDR,
I wanted to make those times. But, unfortunately, this weekend I cannot. However, in retrospect, I will send you a friend request in game for future events. If that is confirmed by yourself, that would be a pleasure.

Kind Regards!

Are you giving those times in GMT?

I may think about popping in, though I really don't have any ship setup for bounty hunting... I'd think about taking the Cutter, but I'd worry about smacking into asteroids. :D I have my anaconda rigged for mining at the moment too... If I see you on, I may ask what's up before I go snag my python. Of course, I did make enough money today alone to cover insurance on the cutter....

We will absolutely kill some NPC's another time, Kallegan. :evil:

Yes sir, the game clock runs on GMT. :)

I have not flown an A rated Cutter, but I know that my D rated trade Cutter takes a day and a half to turn and I'd smack into a rock for sure in the RES with it. On the other hand, a combat Python is a thing of beauty. ;)

Ok, we'll see if I'm able to be on during those times. Also, I know you speak from wisdom about a Python being better for RES, but.... the Cutter has so many guns....

Had some great wings on Saturday!

Great merit session in a Crime sweep with Charlie2Alpha and Georio in the morning.

Solid Haz-RES action with HeliosFCB and Schmobius in the afternoon.

Lots of laughs, kills, and good times guys!! :D :lol: 8-)

Had a nice chat with Kallegan and expect to wing up with him soon. ;)

I'll be around today, mostly geared toward BH in RES if anyone wants to wing up.
