Greetings Troopers!
Today we have some excellent eye candy for you, and some great news.
Since the release of 1.4 one of the major gripes of new players joining the First Strike gaming community are that there are too few players and not enough opportunities to play the game as it was intended with fantastic sprawling battles with 60 + players that truly reflect the epic scale that is Star Wars.
The Saturday night Community Game helps out with this issue, but this is but one night in the week where this can be experienced, and we feel that is just not enough. New gamers coming to First Strike are stunned by how good the game is when playing in these community games, but the numbers required to experience this just don't seem to be around during the week. We feel the more new people who experience the game in this fashion, the more they will stick around, and as such we have decided to expand the FS gaming calendar to two Community Games a week for the whole of February. This will be one Community Game on Saturday as we have currently at 21:00 GMT, and a second one on Sunday night at the slightly earlier time of 19:00 GMT. If we get as good a turn out for both these gaming nights as we currently get for the Saturday Community Games, then this will become a permanent fixture, and possibly even more Official CGs will be announced as we feel that just giving people a time and a place to meet up which guarantees a highly populated game of First Strike will help more people to experience our mod the way it was intended.
So support both the First Strike Community Games Nights and experience the epic battles that are possible with First Strike. These nights will commence this coming weekend with Sunday the 1st of February as the first extra Community Game, be sure not to miss it. Now to get you geared up for the coming games here is the eye candy promised, a selection of action shots from previous Community Games so you know the sort of epic scale and action you can expect to find.
See you Saturday, and see you Sunday too.
Wow, my Firehawke sure got some lovin' in this update ;)
Gorgeous fellas, as always.

As soon as I can get the new version working I will most-certainly attend. At the moment, it continues to insist that my First Strike files have been modded despite that I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times and am using the new Launcher which indicates my game is up-to-date.
Check out our forums for client support, someone there should be able to help you get things up and running.
2000 GMT? 1900 GMT? That's 4am over here in the eastern hemisphere... No wonder I never saw anyone online!
Nathanius, we have an unofficial Community Game on Friday's which is more geared towards North American players and has a more US friendly time. I'm not sure of the exact details of this at the moment, I don't know if the times that that is on will be any better for you. I know we don't currently have any Australian servers (that we know of) but I'm sure as the word spreads they will start to pop up all over the globe.
Heh, Red, what can I say? She is very photogenic.

Well, I doubt I'll be getting BF2142 in time for this, but I actually might be getting it pretty soon! This mod is a major reason for that.
It's always in time, community games take place every Saturday and Sunday, every weekend.
