So how do we generate orders?

It's to the waitlist for me!

What's confusing you? If the interface isn't intuitive enough, it sounds like something I need to address. Or is it the mechanics that you're not grokking?

No, it was the XML thing- I had no idea how to do that. Give me a bit to figure out how to play, though.

EDIT: I don't know what the orders screen is for or how to give an order. Any ideas?

It does sound interesting, but I have no idea how to play. I looked at the links on the last thread a while back, and had no idea how it worked.

Salavev frowned. Cannon fire, no response for an explanation for cannon fire. That wasn't good.

In case you missed it:

Azalyn Kementari:
 * Signal fleet commanders to expect a situation update from me once the immediate tactical situation has been resolved

Incidentally, this is not the first battle to take place. I didn't notice anyone rushing to respond to the sound of cannon fire when Leonard returned fire on a wyvern that destroyed one of his ships

Well, this is happening right after the ship with the emperor's family amd court arrived and were seen heading in the direction of the current cannon fighting. Others may have seen the wryvern, and I don't think anybody thought it was a ship beng fired upon. There's a reason my flagship and arcani tried to avoid the forest on the way back to the fleet at first.

Name: Joshua Shiner
Gender: Male
Age: 37
'Mech Name: Wraith
'Mech Class: Medium(55)
Affiliation: Mercenary (From Free Worlds League-Veteran)
'Mech Loadout (weapons, since I don't know how this works):
 E.R. P.P.C.
 2 medium pulse lasers
 (otherwise as per base.)

Personality: Joshua is a quiet person with a relaxed personality, unless things get overly dangerous. He prefers to scout for whoever he's working with, a habit developed during his time in the military's recon division, where he piloted a light mech. He can snipe if needed, though he prefers not to do so unless necessary, as he prefers hit-and-run tactics.

History: Joshua joined the Free Worlds League as a Mech Jockey at age 25, giving up a promising career in 'mech design. He moved to the recon branch, and was soon making his living piloting a mech. He saw action for several years dealing with raiders and terrorists, but eventually quit to pursue his own living- as a mercenary. He took out a loan to buy a light 'mech for mercenary work, delving deep into the business. He soon paid off the loan, and began to amass a large nest egg as he worked with several different major outfits, floating around the circuit. After spending a few months at Solaris, right after some jobs from Outreach, he finally acquired enough money to buy the 'mech he was looking for- the Wraith. He bought a heavily-worn TR2 model at discount- only around 10 million C-bills- and refurbished it, working on it himself. He then went back to work for the companies, but was dumped by his most recent employer.

Let me know if there's anything wrong with this.

Better yet:

>Check the atmospheric readings for any strange contamination. Take a engineer in there with a instrument that can check the air purity and have him take a few readings. Also, try to find out what happened to the warp drive.

Logic!
