Now, I am doing the training missions, and it seems the "Enemy Engagement" one is bugged. After I practice all the chat instructions and move to the Mars sector I manage to destroy a miner and make the rest run away, then a scout appears that I am ordered to destroy. After I do so the mission seems to get stuck and no further instructions follow. A friendly constructor just stops at 0 mps and thats it.

Any idea if this is just me or if there is anyhting I can do?
I'm not sure if that's a bug or not. I'm not too familiar with that area. You may want to just jump into the game. The best time to play is evenings est. Sunday is the main day to play.

What is a "voob"? One of the guys on my team was named "voobman" and I called him "voob" to shorten it but I didn't realize that there was another meaning to the word. :(

Now I feel like a d$%k....

heh. I'm sure that has happened to voobman before. And we Allegiance players have thick skin so fear not.

'Voob' has different meanings based on context. It can be an insult or not. Generally voob refers to a player who has played alleg for a while (veteran) but still makes noob mistakes. Thus, voob. In reality all vets are voobs at certain times.

Ahh, thanks! I will watch my tongue from now on: I'd rather not make any enemies when I'm like a (-1) right now... :(

The only people who you dont want as an enemy are the ones who command games, since they can actually boot you.

production\artwork\textures is the correct folder. You can also overwrite the ones in \production\artwork.


Want bigger games? Log on to play at the official game time: 9pmET/8pmCT/7pmMT/6pmPT every day of the week. Also Saturdays 8pm UTC.

You likely need to delete the Texture pack file in your artwork directory, like here.

Or go into allegiance and turn off the "use texture pack file"

Can we sort this out so textures etc. aren`t so unintuitive to get to work?
