As some of you already know, I hold weekly free XP/Credit sessions for new players.
From now on these sessions will be held at Area 7. Here's the grid map for you guys..
http://www.giddieup.net/navyfield/portal/modules.php?name=Content&file=viewarticle&id=11
You can click on the + sign at the top middle bar of your screen in the game and it'll bring up that map, then you can just click where you want to go, rather than use the arrows.
The sessions will be held sometime from 9 PM - midnight, PST. number of sessions depends on the week, but usually we have 3-5 sessions.
Due to the big influx of new players, new rules will be enforced from now on.
1. only lvl 1-16 players will be allowed to participate..A fast way to know if you are qualified...take a look at your rank graphic and you'll know if you qualify..
heres a link to the rank graphic

and also, this does not mean that if you already have a lvl 50 BO and you just started training a new crew, that you can join these sessions and play... yah..you know who you are.
2. Games will be made as NO torpedoes allowed games. I was nice in making the previous games normal games and just enforcing a no torp rule, but some people just had to ruin it for others...so from now on, if you are packing torp racks, dont come here.
Any High level CL/CA are welcomed to join if you are feeling generous and want to contribute back to the community.
The number of players per sessions depends on how many CL/CA I got helping me. Obviously, the more CA/CL we have, the more new players we can accomodate per game.
A couple things to watch during the game.
1. When you join the game, some of you go to bravo because you see all the big ships in that team. please, go back to alpha..the whole point of the exercise is for you to shoot at the big ships.
2. Watch your Friendly fire.. I see a lot of new players just shooting like a maniac, and dont watch where their shots are landing...You do know you can kill your own teams right? If a teamate is on you, stop firing until he's clear of you. You need to learn this concept as it happens during real battles too, and people arent good regarding their own teamates firing on them.
3. Remember, this is a training as well. It's not just free XP.. Make the best out of it. Theres nothing gained if just drive next to the big ships and start firing. Learn to shoot from a distance. This is harder to learn in real games where the enemy is out to kill you, not to mention you get more money/XP from shooting from farther out. So practice it in here and get better at it. If you learn how to shoot, you'll get better at it in battles and make more money in the process.
4. Prior to game start, stay quiet for a minute so that I can explain the rules quickly..it's hard to explain when everyone is talking.
That's it...enjoy the game.
EDIT NOTE: Area changed to area 7
EDIT NOTE: Time range changed to 9 PM - 12 AM PST
