Figured I should say hi after all this while

So, anyway: Hi. you've probably already seen me fooling around, shooting those light blue donuts at constructors, miners, bombers and even occasional teammate along with shooting some missiles up your tailpipe if you don't consider me enough of a threat /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" /> other times you might find me being "the eye on your garrison", hunting for miners, or just plain old defending. in other words, if there's a simple task, you might find me doing it at one point /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Just don't expect me to be able to hide a stealth bomber, be an effective HTT, or TP drop anywhere, and we'll get along fine.

With that out of the way, it's time to say a big thank you for all the folks that made this happen, I'm really loving it now that I've gotten the hang of it (mostly), and I now realize CDT might've been a good thing to do first, but when I joined, the newbie servers were very good for learning the basics, and pick up some combat tricks (that I later found to be mostly useless in the real deal /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" />).

Now, since one of my other hobbies, besides online gaming, is drawing, I figured I might pay my respects in part by doing a little piccu for you, to show the dedication and effort you've put into creating this community has not been in vain, "The job and 'reward' of the scout, the thankless servant" /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

see you "around" /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

ps. I know the nans get thanked sometimes, it's just not a very "glorius" job /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

edit: to make accessing easier, I'll dump picture links to first post from now on

Awesome drawing too.

I love seeing the returning players, and how they seem to confirm that this is the best game in it's genre {I used a fancy word /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> }.

well, true, I like the giddy feeling of contributing to the victory, even if it wasn't me firing those AB missiles /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> it's just not something that gets instant recognition, like utility/base killing, but it doesn't really matter to me, I'm just happy doing my part /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

umm, sorry? I joined a little before christmas '07, and the first time I tried getting the game to work... possibly R1 or R2, I couldn't get it working, so I gave up for a while... a long while, a little too long, as it seems R3 would've fixed the problem I had /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

anyway... I don't think I really qualify for that "returning player" part, but still, thanks for the warning /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> also, I think this may be the only game of this genre, I don't see many space combat "simulators" that are also real time strategy games in their core. still, even if this is the sole member of the genre, it is very well done ^^

Hi and Welcome.

That nan's gonna get popped!

Excellent drawing, really captures the action in game.

Btw, I haven't seen you in this most recent session of Cadet II.

Which means that you should join the next one! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
