CYCLE NUMBER 2 HAS COMMENCED!

12 October 2008:

The new server is up and running. We are in a very short beta, so come and find a few bugs! Please be patient while we attend to updating the bugs and the website.

11 October 2008:

OK. Things are going reasonably well with the new server configuration. Shouldn't be long now. If all goes well, there will be a 'short' test and we will kick into the new cycle.

As a teaser, the factions for this cycle are:

  • Capellan Confederation
  • Draconis Combine
  • Federated Suns
  • Free Worlds League
  • Home Clans
  • Invading Clans
  • Lyran Alliance
  • Periphery
  • Word of Blake

More will be explained soon.

Hail the Prince!

The Federated Suns have won the first cycle of the Jihad. Congratulations to those of the Suns who fought well, fought fair and took the honours.

As of this note, we are working hard to get the next cycle up and running. A few changes (including a new faction!) to address issues raised by players during the last cycle will hopefully add a little spice to the next.

In the mean time, go crazy and play for fun. The composition rules are relaxed till we need to look at the pre-cycle testing, so enjoy the moment! More will be revealed as it becomes available.
