Apparently now Players group are going to be recognized and will be used in game for minor factions.
No talk yet about owning structures but... could even be.

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=175311

That said I was thinking, especially with some of you ;), to sign in "The Professionals".

Now, that's absolutely not to say that's going to be the official SimHQ group. At all!
Quite the opposite, by any means.

But if anyone felt the need for that, now they can sign up.

Cheers.

All right?
As for Home System I've chosen Nuenets.
It's central, has everything it's necessary very close and doing ferry trips with far away pilots it's going to be GREAT!
biggrin

I'll volunteer to do it!

*everyone else face when reading this---> D:*
Of course this is NOT set in stone and can (and probably will change a lot)

I'll keep this first post updated.

Notice: I'm going to take some time with newer members that wants in. Why?
/terribly serious-cat mode on

I understand everyone wants to be one of the cool guys... This group is NOT one of those.
We're a bunch of guys with kids and a normal life that are in for the giggles while occasionally make some virtual dosh.

Don't just sign up for the hell of it.
'cause everyone will have to pass my test first*.

*DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN*

So, think twice- this will not make people happy maybe but we're here to help newbies to play and HAVE FUN!
We do NOT plan on epic raids to conquest sector of the galaxy.
We do NOT plan on PvP.

We plan to play a game whenever we have time.

For hardcore gaming ----> Thatta-a-Way. Thanks smile

Motto being:
Giggles before dosh. We're called "The Professionals" 'cause we're everything BUT Professionals.


I'm going to mainly play from 22.00 GMT to 01.00 GMT - not everyday, not all the time but basically that's when I'm online.

Add me as a friend or direct message me/find me on SimHQ teamspeak as:
In game: Benjamin K. Master
In SimHQ TeamSPeak: Komemiute

See you in the big black.

The SHQ Pilots Association?

I'm looking for details of how such a group is integrated on the game side, but I'm not seeing it on that thread. Do we know if a group has to associate with a chosen station? Would be interesting to have to support our group (like the Bulletin Board for minor factions now) to drive influence and possible group leadership of the station.

Could be interesting, I'll keep an eye on it.

So far... details are sketchy, but in the same sub-section of the forums there should be instructions...
Apparently the faction will be bound to an "entity" (easily a solar system).

Working for the faction would improve its influence and therefore make it more "visible"- politically speaking- until it makes into direct support for PowerPlay Powers.

Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.

The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire

Knew I could count on you! wink
Just- didn't saw you Online in Elite for a while, hope all is good.

@NavyNuke99: "The Professionals" started all a glorious night in DCS some months ago, well- probably over a year ago.

Point being we're all BUT professionals! biggrin
It involved a night mission with a new guy that did drop in the SimHQ DCS server (prolly Wrecking Crew or someother) and being green and listening to us talking "expert" believed we were good! biggrin

We weren't... Well I wasn't.

In random order there was:

-Me jettisoning all the payload while taxing while trying to apply/remove parking brakes.
Killing someone behind me. Could have been Tempus, but not sure.

-Me doing it again.

-Twice more.

-In a cold start, getting three people cursing the sky trying to find in the darkness the switch to turn on flood lighting.

-Me leading the new guy for half an hour of approach to the "Danger Zone" just to be swatted out of the sky by the very first SAM I didn't even see coming well before entering the FAOR. He did great though.

-Me making a disastrous landing because I forgot to lower landing gear.

-Me losing both engines for a misplaced keybinding of the Firefighting foam bottles...

-... without realizing that happened, I flew into the ground with this big grin 'cause I was SURE I could re-lihgt them in flight. (Hint: I couldn't)

And I'm sure I forgot something more.

Originally "The Professionals" were Tempusmuprhy, Petethehatchet, MaceUK and me.
Fudge tried to apply for membership but his ability of:

- killing multiple enemies without being destroyed,
- landing with correct asset and equipment employed,
- being capable of clearing doubts about game mechanics,
- knowledge about switches and SOP in weapon employment, and
- no possible mention of Blue-on-Blue

made him on obvious liability for the group.

PS: Ah I think that was also the time I realized that Tempus is in reality Tony Robinson of Baldrick fame.
I mean- that voice? Unmistakable. biggrin

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Your application looks pretty impressive so far. I guess you could be in quite immediately.

on the elite forum they need to know the following:

Your group name:
Type (PVE/PVP):
Number of members:
Website (if you have one):
Contact name:
Email address:

so we also need to start looking at locations for the group as a base

we also need a spokes person... ( tempus slinks to the background )

looking forward to flying with you all with total professionalism (and a few crashes)

you have to bind it to a fire group... I have my my trigger on my Saitek x52 bound to weapons and my secondary fire bound to the discovery sensor and the kill warrant scanner .. one one each fire group. you have to lock up the target, get within a certain range and hold the button you have bound for the KWS until the scan is fully done

Ah. Excellent sir. Thank you.
Got the in-game message to bind it to a fire group so I put it with the weapons...obviously incorrectly!
Just made my second purchase with reclaimed bounty; the best Power Distributor money can buy. Read that this was probably the single best ship upgrade you can make.
