Observer :

A good NW tonight in M7. Good flying all round, a furious but short fight with FF playing its part, UIT kept moving and chipped away at the Serco. Xenis hung on well, but a good win to UIT.

The four surviving UIT team members, Ecka, Mick, Breazle and Faustino Bashkir split the 12 million cr prize.

The Midweek NW is sponsored by TGFT, CLM , M. Wittman , Waldoze , John Eldritch , Surbius Bondevo, Tohasandra Chi , Tworivers, Koooz and Keria Willenium .

Many thanks to everyone that joined in.

The wins:
Itani 36
Serco 28
UIT 38

Same time somewhere in Latos next week.

Damn. Serco... with that kind of bodycount it should be a no-brainer!
I don't believe I completely forgot about NW though...

Seriously? o_o How?

You're all hereby drummed out of Serco. Except for Yoda (and Solra, who, as a gemorian, was never really Serco to start with).

Serco lives and dies by teamwork. The other teams use tactics and ships that lend themselves to individual and loose group combat, but the Serco team requires good coordination to survive. When it's there, almost everyone survives. When it's not there, even outnumbering the others 2 to 1 won't save the day.

Here's a vid, I die in it, so it's worth watching just for that.

Note there is some frame rate drop during the video, but I did not notice it while playing. Also note me flying into a few roids, damn hound _is_ harder to turn than a hog mk2 ;)

Aye , some good video. It is fairly clear at HQ setting.

Part of its charm. Why fly an interceptor with paper armor for NW?

Hmm, well film folk are odd. I was in a rev c and just kept the boot on the floor...

Actually UIT used VC well in that NW , and I think the lights proved that agility counts in a tight sector. I will run next weeks in d2 if it is clear , lets see how the serco armour stands up in a sector with more elbow room .

Where is the back ground music? Where is the sound of you singing Yoda.

While your video is great, I declare that these short comings score it FAIL!

Seriously though, fun watch.

Nice video Yoda, always fun to see oneself hunted down and destroyed:)

I was so close... the heartbreak!
