This Zone Game is ONE HOUR LATER than usual Zone Games

Blame Spliffy for no special image yet.

This Zone Game is a special one. It uses a scenario that involves use of the Zone Game core and Custom Briefings!

The situation: Gigacorp has been pressed by Technoflux forces to evacuate several forward staging areas. Included in these areas were testing grounds, but what they were testing, no one knows! However, Gigacorp has become especially protective of their freighter convoys leaving the area - Enough so that Technoflux has mounted a special task force to eliminate the last one out, expected to be carrying some very important technology. Both forces have been rushed into action, leaving no room for reinforcements with better technology - what is there is there!

Gigacorp has withheld a carrier, and has used the last of their resources in their forward shipyards to significantly reinforce the defenses of the carrier and the freighters it will be escorting. Technoflux has, on the other hand, refitted their scouts for better speed and scan range and refitted gunships for anti-capital ship duty.

It shall be a glorious day! There will be awards as well, for pilots that perform remarkably on both sides - Whether it be by top kills, bagging a freighter, killing off a bunch of Gunships, or other tales of bravery.

Obviously the freighters are carrying the secret ingredient of Giga-cola.

And the secret ingredient... IS PEOPLE!

(Anywho, exciting! ^_^ Sounds like an interesting set up.)

I can't wait.

I was wondering what the auto update a day or two ago was for, but now I know.

i really like the idea of playing scenarios. there's some room for improvement, sure, but don't abandon the scenarios and custom maps.

all in all thanks for innovative game ZG team :)

Alright, so this went a little worse than I expected, but it was still fiendishly fun for the most part. Considering it was the FIRST time ANYTHING like this has ever been attempted, I think it went very well. It'll make the next time something similar to this happens much, much better.
