So how did it go?
Did anyone do any recordings?
Bear and I recorded, but my recording was lost somehow (Bear's view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzRn2Geyj6E). We had 4 ships ready but only 4 players came so we decided to use only the two battleships. We focused on the station which was a big mistake because there were too many platforms. One of the BS died after five minutes or so and that crew manned one of the cruisers. As soon as the cruiser joined the battle, the second battleship had to retreat and the cruiser died because it was alone. So that crew took the second cruiser and both ships jumped to the boss at the same time. We decided to focus on the platforms and everything went well. The boss died and BS+CR survived. The battle was much more difficult than last time because we didn't have enough crew.
We reverted to the backup before the battle and added a second host station. Unfortunately, Hak had to leave and we did not have enough players to man the two battleships. If you find at least two additional players, we can do that second battle. Because Bear is leaving for holidays tomorrow, that has to be within the next few hours.
Again without sound
I tell you - Just by reading your description about what's in the video, I already get this feeling: Maan this is so cool!
But without sound not many people could apreciate the vids.
If we had recordings at least with sound(with voice over would be even better) then we could show it to everyone.
And I bet the voice over of crew of a ship that is about to go down, would be very atmospheric.

The chat bot does not have such a big impact (cpu load: +10% vs. >+40% of a real player). Also note that there are 3.6 Mb/s sent between the server and the chat bot (going down to 1.4 Mb/s and sometimes 800 kb/s as soon as somebody else enters that sector and the server is overloaded).
I'll see what I can do to improove this.
