Bloodstorm has put his hand up to help me behind the scenes on this 0ne and we aim to make it as funny as possible (Hint Hint)

So I assume there are already a proportion of Slashdot readers here but for those of you who aren’t a new cross platform, Open Source FPS has shown up on Slashdot in the past few days called bloodfrontier.

And on passing I also reminisced about this game, http://www.freecol.org/ – well it was one of the top 20 Sourceforge apps this month, any one interested in a night of colonisation, well freecol?

160 kilometres on each charge

It can be recharged in a regular power point in about eight hours
or just 20 minutes in a dedicated higher voltage outlet

Ok so unless n0mad hooks you up with his Electrical Contacts most houses don’t have 3 phase power points
therefore the local sparks would be rubbing there hands together.

Top Speed ? (Any0ne able t0 find this ?)

Note: 2009 stock available to sum ;)

Take this post with a grain of salt, but I reckon IPX has great potential, so i’ll impart some wisdom I learnt while in MaD.

Golden Rules of ETQW Scrims:

#1: Never lemming attack
This is defined as running into a situation that is unwinnable.
Examples:
a) Frontal assualts on heavy weapons (other than rocket) with no cover to protect yourself.
b) Letting the front line dissolve into reinforcement waves of 1 or 2 soldiers.
c) Attacking more than one enemy soldier without a wingman.
Solution: In these cases, if practical, respawn, and regroup. Never rush an enemy unless in a coordinated group. Use flanking and cover. Retreat if necessary, but only if firing back at the enemy. Work as a team. Report threats when practical, i.e. “Hyper Left flank bridge” when you spot the enemy not while the team is engaged shooting them. Maintain operational seperation. Maintain your formation!

#2: Never lemming objective
