I wasThinking, do you think that we should have meeting times in the game. like every wednesday we meet and discuss what happenedin that week.
-
Well I think there should be regular (monthly or bi-monthly) meetings for the crew of a ship. And then there should be a captains meeting.
I don't thing having a meeting where everybody is invited would be a good idea. Maybe if there's something reeeaaally important going on i.e. the disk arrays on which the Matrix is stored explode and The Architect has to reinstall a backup or something :-)
-
Perhaps we could join an AIM chat room. (Yes, AIM's getting incorporated into MxO, so it's likely this will be viable.) Maybe crews gather in buildings for safety. Not all crews together, just you and maybe half your crew in a building, the other half takes one on the next block, and other crews do similar farther away.
-
we have 2 really good ideas here, either could work.
-
AIM chat would work really well i think. Bad idea for all of us to be in the exact same place though, simply because we could be attacked and itd be so crowded. Another thing, as a faction we should eventually earn a construct, and depending on how many people each can hold, we will be able to have meetings there, at least for individual ships.
-
Yea the construct would be crazy sweet. Especially if we can spar and what-not inside it.
-
the constuct would be cool, but if a captains meeting is being held, it would be a prime spot to attack, so we would need to have some other members on there to stand garud
-
Teamspeak...my accent's bad, but Teamspeak is what we'll be using to communicate...
So much easier you know.
We could chat to of course, but for general member to member chatter, Teamspeak is good.
-
i dont know about meeting in game, but a "meeting" in ts would be a lot easier for tbone and captains, since they could talk instead of type, let alone everyone has speakers so they would be able to hear?
-
I think a meeting in the game would be an awesome idea, perhaps just for Captains and one or two select crew members. This way we wouldn't have crowds of people all talking at once and the people who need to hear the info most hear it. It would have to be made at a certain time when GMT an P/CET/ST whatever could be on at the same time, something like 10pm here which should be about 4pm there or maybe at like 7am here then it would be like 1am there though. It doesn't really matter when but you get my drift.
-
i like how all like my idea, another thing is posting any minutes from meetings that are held for those who can not make it to the meetings. of course if it was a captains meeting then it wouldbe postedon the captains forum, or a ship meeting then it wouldbe posted on the ships forum ETC.
-
yeah
-
Sounds like a good idea to me
-
The meetings being for captains sounds like a very good idea. That way the captains can just relay the information to the clan in a more efficient and organized fashion. And for those who read the gamespy beta Q & A being better and more organized means "big rewards" (or however it was worded).
-
Makes a lot of sense.
-
I think that the captains should most definitely have meetings so that our leadership is all on the same page and they can get us information that needs to get to us. So far as ship meetings go I think those should be upon request, if a captain of a ship feels like there should be a meeting to discuss something, just call one and have the ship meet up. As far as whole clan meetings, we could always have "club nights" where we find a club in game and just chill there for the night. Have a good time, you know.
-
Definitely, now that we know there are vomit emotes.
-
Vomit emotes? Heh, but seriously meetings are a good idea, and anyone who might not be able to make it could hopefully at least be on AIM. Also a meeting might be a better idea on a weekend, because some people might have to attend at midday due to time zones.
-
I am loving the way you are so all in to this, but to this point the only captain to see it is oronos. i am hoping that the other captains and of course our fantasic leader tbone will take a look and comment on this perticular topic. Also on a complete detour from the the topic, could you all please checkout my bio and vote in my poll, i will be using the results to decide wheather i will make my idea in my bio a reality. Thank you for joining in this topic and plaese contiue to enjoy it.
p.s. Sorry for any brown noseing that has occured in this post, i hope it has not offended anyone.
-
I think captain meetings and ship meetings are great ideas.... Of course there will be people who won't be able to make it for one reason or another and posting the basic consensus of the meetings here for each ships crew (as previously mentioned) would be good as well. Of course no captain should ever go out and about in the game alone, so having some muscle for a back up would be a must. hint hint hint... As in I'd volunteer for that tour of duty
Has anyone thought about having ship meeting before the game releases?

-
I think it should be weekly, just to get everyone together and seeing how ships are doing, what they've come up against, and just random discussion over all :D
-
In the second film all of the ships captains and thier crews met together, but it was considered a very risky operation, and, if you have played EtM, they were attacked. So I think it would probably be best to do it over aim, or 'cellphones' if you want to be technical. I think the reason they did not do that in teh film was because the line could be hacked, but I don't know how they could incorperate that into the game.
-
Good point Ajax.
I don't see much added value in everyone being in the same room. It's just a useless risk.
-
Ajax, not only could they very likely not do it, but it would be illegal. IM's are private information. Providing a venue for a third party to view said information without the knowledge of the first and second isn't legal.
They could join the AIM Chatroom, though =P
Club nights sound a little fun, though. Informal meeting to let loose some steam, and blast the crap out of anyone who ruins our fun.
And steal their wallet.
-
About saftey durring meetings - are there "no player killing" zones in MxO, and if so, do they afford any privacy?
I agree that schedualed meetings are an excellent idea (one which would be much more interesting if done in game, with voice), but location and security will obviously be an issue.
Perhaps if we changed the meeting location every week - for example, there could be a sticky thread on the boards here which would give the minutes of the last meeting and the location of the next.
I also agree that, with the possibilities of spies, that meetings be "Captians Only", followed by debriefing to the crew, is the most viable option.
Two Cents.

i thought i would bring back this tread. so what do you think, should the FA have meeetings time in the game?
//hacked by gillette. Check your pm box.

Meetings in game would be more for roleplaying.Make the game more of a reality, less of a game where we run around and do missions that really in the end don't make much of a difference if they are done or not.These meetings would definately add more interest, and could partake in planned player events.
I know myself, if we were to raid a faction meeting, I would have lots of fun.Especially if there were special skills needed that only certain people in the faction have.Each person would have a job to do, for example, one spy will have to break into locked rooms, while another takes out security camera's and such.When the first spy completes his mission to open a locked door, a hacker will move into the unlocked room to hack a pc.
Not only would we have fun, we would also gain experience as a team.
If we do decide to have meetings in game, it would be good.Even if we were the ones being raided.We could have people working on security, guarding "important" people, etc.
Hopefully meetings in game will be accepted.If they are we may have one problem still, which is the MxO Devs adding security camera's, sentry guns, locked doors, computers controlling security networks, etc.I have a good feeling some of the things I suggested will be added though.... they are some objects that would be the only things that a spy can actually use some of his skills on.If they were not to be added, a spy would basically be useless, or uneeded.
-
Talk about necro posting.
Meeting are a good idea. But, getting everyone on would be a bitch.
-
Meetings pros:
RP development
Information Exchange
Meeting area to gather before mission start
Meeting cons:
Getting all online
Risk of attack (although high defense!)
If you think about the "pros", any real RPing meetings would be done on the hvcft or construct - although we can't simulate this in the game. The boards and teamspeak when we are not playing simulate this for us.
-
I like the ideas of RP meetings - we need to get some RP going in this game.
-
I agree with that, I think the only real reason to actually "meet" in game would be to set up a mission group or to roleplay. It would be really nice to maybe initiate some newbs that way show them what the faction is about that is if they are roleplay meetings...or gatherings like at one of the clubs.
I think the only way to have a real meeting to discuss secretive things is in ts. Ship meetings could be held in private rooms as to not interfere with others play and captains meetings as well for that matter. Do I think they are necessary yeah its good to hear where things stand and what is what. The more organized the faction the better the result of our time in game.
