Spoke too soon, OP: the OF are back, kind'a. They're basically read-only at the moment - a lot of people who've tried to post have hit "session timed out" errors - and the admins and data-wranglers are still sorting out some more technical issues.
people can't post more bullshit and bad ideas on the OF
how will the series ever recover

ALBATROSS! GETCH YORE ALBATROSS HEAH!
Grayson Gray
Not bad on the Albatross feel, but it's a little too heavy on long-range fire I think. The Alby always seemed to be a wide mix of 'do a bit at every range' to me.

All mech regiments should become divisions and every major and minor power should have at least a bunch of light WarShips, even in 3025
Elijah Barnes
It's a modern version for the new FWLM, who focus too much on long range combat.

I don't disagree, user, because I like space-battles and Kursk-scale fights as much as anyone else (and more than many, I suspect). But do yourself a favour: don't try to fix FASAnomics. Too many others have already disappeared down that rabbit-hole; not many have escaped it again, and none of them were ever the same (or completely sane) again.
