The [FGS] Clan

OK let ppl argue the hell out of each other about what server, then I will completely ignore all and decide myself.

Since there is a well-run atdm, 0-aug and altfire server, it is unlikely to be identical to any of those. It is unlikely to be btdm or something very close to atdm, the nearest I think I will go is 4 augs/skills choosing.

The focus will be on SG maps, but there will be other maps too. Defaults will be available for wars etc.

I want tactical with any aug/skill setup, I don't really care as long as there are some augs and it's tactical, lol.

So I guess I wont vote cause yeah... There's too many choices for my wishes

voting 3augs skill choosing (2-4k sp). Id vote 2 but there is just too much rape and not enough teamwork going on. All 2aug gametype needs is a pair of players who are used to playing together like almost always, and youre fucked.

Tactical with no augs but low grav + more maps if that possible

screw it, have an RPG FGS SERVER

DJ dont worry, you'll be working hard to make the mods for it :P No summer holidays for joo...
Actually there is a longstanding committment from 2007 to help Face host Facetown when it arrives.
It would be good to see Face apply for FGS, Ketchup too.

Ok, please explain why 3 augs on start is better than 4 augs on start plz. I ran 4 before and some more experienced auggers hated it.
Is it just giving ppl too much fighting ability from the start? Speed/Bally/Ads/Regen???

With 2 augs you have almost nothing but guesswork if enemy team is small. Huge part lays on the teamwork, strategy and pure luck with finding the right moment, method to get your streak. All this however is what makes ATDM so special. And obviously its a default gametype. Some people are going to simply hate everything else because its not default.

With 4 augs you pretty much have everything. Still, room for some plasma, emps, might be the guy isnt using regen for some weird reason so thats a factor.. but still you pretty much have everything you might need to get all augs.

With 3 augs you are much more self-sufficient yet you still have to play it smart. I can counter your speed+bally+ads with say speed+bally+regen as you probably assume im using ADS and wont shell or gep.. and yet if I were to go with Bally+ADS+Speed id be protected.

All that crap aside 3augs just makes you a little more self-sufficient without entirely eliminating other factors. There will always be an ATDM server of some sort, anyway.

3aug+4k sp start 2 aug +2k sp per kill set up has been hosted in past, by EL I believe, and possibly before that by someone else. It is not as boring as BTDM.

Anything but low grav gets my vote, and adding augs is even better.

Hmm i see, three augs keeps ppl guessing a bit...

I'm surprised at the number of votes for 0-aug tac with low grav, but I think it's not representative of the whole community, only this forums.

OK well progress is in hand, looks like we will have 4/5 servers more soon, and plenty of room to experiment and vary things.

1. week Tactical with Low Grav and Augs
2. week Tactical with Low Grav and without Augs

and then always change

Bombtag > all other gametypes.

I can host both maybe, or do this.

In my opinion.. a server that changes weekly is more successful and less expensive, that hosting 5 different servers at once.

To be honest *love* the low grav. Or atleast reduce it. Pain in the ass jumping down off ledges to get bodies

Reducing low grav means making the gravity even lower.
