I have to admit, that was one fun session, Mack. I had a nice time, thanks

I also learned just how badly I need a Leviathan. I was getting my butt kicked left and right in that pathetic little Saber I call a ship

You never did talk about augmenting shields, and I'd like to know more about that. Of course, I'd also like to know about the setting up the clan thing. The =[NDF]= needs to go legit you know.

It's good to hear from you!:D I have downloaded Legends, but I won't be able to be online until I upgrade my internet connection.

Apology not needed! It's always a pleasure to
see some of the flock return to the nest! LOL!
As I mentioned on another thread, we are getting more newbies everyday who could benefit from your experience.
Mack has done a wonderful job training these unskilled pilots and helping them over the difficult parts so they can better enjoy the game.

*Note to Vice*... In case you didn't see it on the other thread and it doesn't hurt to repeat it, We had a soldier stationed in Iraq sign on DS9 today! Seems your games are keeping our boys overseas on their toes! You should be proud!
And it made me glad that I kept the Renegades server open, that your "alarm" noise alerted me to his visit, and I was able to greet this fine young man!
His visit was short, but we had a nice chat. I hope he gets a chance to return.
Thank you Vice!
