    I just wanted to post this to try and feel out peoples interest in the squadron battles. A few of us have had conversations on TS about doing this but we need more numbers. People also shouldn't feel obligated to do this but we do want to find people who want to get into the competitive aspect of the game and take it seriously while they are there. I know that our main goal in NNG is to avoid any bullshit and have a good time, but some of us would really like to represent the standing we have on the leaderboards with actual competitve gameplay. If anyone has any comments or suggestions please feel free to add them.

    Perhaps it's time to actively recruit competitive pilots. I know we accept apps from anyone, but if you want the serious pilots, you have to loo for them them.

    I think if we're to have any real competitive play, we need to insulate the competitive players on Teamspeak to begin with. There needs to be a clear delineation between channels where people can just play for fun and channels where comms need to be clear and teamplay needs to be strictly followed. If we are to expand into competitive play, we likewise need to expand the way we setup the squads and squadron.

    As far as recruitment, we need to continue to recruit players for both competitive and free play modes while attempting to train existing members to be better rounded in squadron-based tactics.

    My skills still need to be honed quite a bit to be competitive. But as soon as they are, you can count me in...

    I think this is one of the biggest issue we need to address if we want to improve our performance. Right now we have a decent set of individually skilled pilots but very few of us have more than a basic concept of team tactics. Now, I'm far too inexperienced to figure out how to fix this deficiency but that would be where I would start.

    I'd be up for learning to play better in a squad, my main issue is time difference though, if I'm going to get a decent gaming session in with any of you then it means me staying up until about 6 in the morning :(
