Welcome all to the weekend! If you haven't had a chance to notice ARMA 3 and most of it's DLCs are back on sale. What does this mean: We are likely to expect a small influx of players over the coming week/s. You can finally get the DLCs you have been wanting to play on that map, fly that jet, drive that car or use that gun. So What: With the increase in players there is always an increase in people asking questions or breaking the rules. Staff will be busier than normal assisting new players and monitoring server activity to provide you with the best experience we can. Now What: We ask that you assist us as much as possible to make all our lives easier. If that means throwing a name in your !admin reports such as "'Steve' is not in teamspeak", rather than a "pilot not in TS" or "'Rochell' is teamkilling" rather than "a player is teamkilling" it would make our life easier and allow us quicker response times. Try and assist new players yourself, if you're in the back of a chopper and someone asks how to change role send a quick message to them, get them into your group or get into theirs and give them a hand. Train the guys you want to play with, if you want a more regular or bigger team then lend a hand, you can make great friendships over games. While I am asking you to lend a hand, that does NOT mean to take matters into your own hands when someone is breaking the rules. If one of us aren't in game, use the !admin command, take a recording and contact us on teamspeak or discord. Help us make a better community for us all to play in. We understand that the last update caused a few issues and unfortunately there are a few we can do nothing about. Most of the regulars have found workarounds for the more common ones so feel free to come and jump in teamspeak and have a chat. Looking forward to seeing you all in the field over the weekend. Who knows I might even get back in a chopper, join in a HQ defence or run some zeus missions!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TeamSpeak UPDATE It has been one week since we had a catastrophic SSD failure on one of our rented servers, which caused the loss of many services including I&A and TeamSpeak. As of now; The TeamSpeak is back online! All pilots will, once again, now be required to join TeamSpeak to fly The TeamSpeak is still under reconstruction and will be undergoing some changes. It is currently an 80% solution. We do not expect any further downtime at this stage; However, we will endeavour to keep you informed as we are informed. We apologise for the delays in returning this service. Feel free to come and drop in for a chat. See you in the field! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, I'm looking at doing another 24 Hour session of Strayagaming Invade & Annex. The date of the event will be on the 18th (Sat)-19th (Sun) of December. 12pm to 12pm Midday. Like last time, we will be looking at doing some fundraising for the charity we helped last year, which is Checkpointorg (https://checkpointorg.com). A charity that provides mental health resources for gamers and the gaming community. (With all the 2020-21 going on still... some of us need this...) Here's their "About us" from their website: Like last time, I would like to invite Strayagaming members to join me for this 24 hour gaming session and donate if you can, during the event. But again, you don’t have to, if you don’t want or can’t afford to. It’s all good! I have some players that I talked to, that are keen, but might not do the full 24 hours. That's ok. If you only want to do part of it, is all good. I've also been discussing with the admins a few other things we might be doing. I'll give out more details as we get closer to the time. Keep an eye on this thread... I'm looking forward to it as always, and again... I'll be doing this at work, which was great last time... no one here during the holidays... hehehe. Hope you guys can join

possibly ironside could have an APC for troop movements if the transport helicopters are under stress. - there are vehicles including APCs out the front of the air base that people can take and provide troop transport. Some of the tanks have passenger seats. Also this will allow for more covert operations and faster response times. - covert yes, sometimes. Depends on how good the pilot is and the distance the drop you. It is generally, outside of 1km that a helicopter is quicker. Also the S29 would be very support poggers artillery. - guessing you mean the 2S9 Sochor? There is a limited artillery at the FOB. It was limited due to people just shelling the AO with no ammo limit and no care.

Count us in for this worthy course mate it was gold last year cheers AusCafeRacer

Howdy all here's a few ideas which I've put together mainly focusing on different vehicles to add some more variety to the gamemode. Additional Hellcat Variant *Add a disarmed pylon variant of the hellcat to the heli rotation. This adds some variety to the heli rotation with this variant featuring FFV seats & a different seating layout Mora APC *Add the mora APC into carpark rotation It has the cannon of the kamysh minus the AT missiles. They're smallish and make for good fun running them in teams of two (Could also make a good side mission reward) Battle Tractor And to finish off a battle tractor / shitty technical side reward suggestion.

no thanks.

Green might not be suitable for everyone, and this mod allows people to change the color of their nightvision client side. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2513044572

Sorry to hear you haven't gotten the support you were after here, especially when the charity is for mental health and avenues of support. Mental Health is no longer a topic that is being side-lined or shunned. It affects a large amount of people, even more so in the current climate, us Gamers are not immune to Mental Health Issues. I start my Christmas leave on the 17th and as long as I don't get further tasking I will come and find you and join you where ever you are to throw my support behind your fundraiser.

Mate you've got nothing on me lol I'm sure I have pissed many off with my rants, it happens to all of us I think, everyone has bad days now and then :)

Player Of The Week Initiative! The I&A Staff Team and Community Team have decided to bring in a new initiative for positive player interaction. This initiative entails a month whitelisting of a single player at the end of each week decided by I&A staff; to have the chance of being picked as the Player Of The Week you need to be a positive influence within the I&A server. This positive influence can range from simply being a happy-go-lucky player to being a player that takes initiative towards problems within the server and community. The Player Of The Week will be announced each Sunday as a reply to this post.

do you have a link plus we have alloy armour and metal armour

As the title suggests, I would like to suggest the ability to select between the Y-32 Xi'an (Transport) or the V-44 Blackfish (Transport) when activating the vehicle. Neither VTOL provides a better experience, with both topping out at around 700kph, with the only difference being that the blackfish carries 32 passengers compared to the 17 that the Xi'an carries. By implementing this it will allow VTOL pilots to choose the VTOL that they prefer providing a better experience for infantry getting to the AO.

Hello Engineers! The release of ‘Sparks Of The Future’ DLC and update has been a welcome sight for most of us, adding additional textures, blocks and even game mechanics to our survival experience. This has, unfortunately (and expectedly) caused havoc with a number of Mods that we have on the server. As a result, we will be adding/removing the following Mods, players should expect a short downtime at 6 pm on July 2nd. Removed Mods/features JumpDrive Disruptor Turret MWI 2 Added Mods/features Clean Assembler Tab OKI Grand Weapons Bundle Doctor’s Vanilla Voxels Enabling Vanilla Economy

Look lads, I don't know if straya is dying right now or if people are just off studying but the number of people on straya compared to Darkside has changed a lot to the point where the server looks dead. I really don't like seeing straya like this. I know that straya has its ups and downs, but it doesn’t change the fact that something has to change. The boys and I have been playing darkside a lot now and been seeing SOA, LYNX, FU, ACU and some other gangs playing on Darkside as well. the reason the boys and i have been playing darkside is because its more fun than straya, the rules are better and are fair to the entire playerbase. It's really fun playing on darkside but it just doesn't feel right without the straya community. I think straya can really be improved in multiple ways and feel free to reply to this post and suggest other ways that it can be improved. - Gang affiliation: basically allows for cops to metagame civs tags which is pretty unfire to the civs and discourages actual gang creation and gang gameplay, the boys and I have taken our tags off a couple times just so we cant be metagamed. But i can understand how this can work in certain situations. - Money carrying over to civ: we think this could abolished and the money that you have on civ and cop should be independent of each other. We think that this would create more roleplay situations because cops like @fegget (:heart:) aren't going to be money hungry and instead going to focus on more roleplay situations. We have also asked some members of the community what they think about straya and what could be improved and what are their views about the server as a whole. Here is some of that; Nick: Support Team Member - "The shit they need to get rid of is the mets game rule where you can use others tags, that’s what ruin it, let 5.56 in city for civs. I view it is a cop server" IAmJack: Altis Life Server Moderator - "I would suggest start with small things, small changes, do able thing first, I might not played this for long, but i have raised a lot of suggest, mainly for medic and all goes into toilet, for myself, as a medic, I think arrest after someone got killed and revived is bullshit, same thing happen on cop got capture after revived. People who die and got revived should be released at safe zone and let them start again, otherwise people will just camp corpse or respawn, not good for cop, not good for rebel and worse for medic, a lose lose lose situation" Shepherd: SIS Member - "Not sure, I haven't played recently enough to know what the server needs currently. From what I've heard and seen its poorly managed and does not provide a good experience for people playing as civs which is a vast majority of the playerbase" Snowy: Leader Of SIS - "Oh there are a million things. Most of them are rule based and contracting. It's hard to same what would work but I think it's a lot more than just hey here some new shit. Staff need a change over. Like bank is in a shit spot. Cops are op. No one is doing rebel shit. Copper it's half way across the map. Like it should be easy to do. Copper and iron proc need to be closer. Making money for new players suck. Cops are rules suck for civs. There isn't much to do for the no rebel civ. Contacting needs to be bigger and better. The main cop contactor have there own base etc. Probs **** this one cos I will never get it. I can't comment on bank as I have never done it. Staff need to change there need to be a mix of contractors, rebels, cops and normal peps. That just a few. Making the server nicer for new players. All I see every day is new players getting ****ed on. Need more events. Make jail an actual thing. So people don't escape after there been ****ed on. Make it like a bank" Mitch: Community Manager - "Talk to Bouda or Jdawgz" Ethan: Leader Of LYNX - “Similar to Snowys argument, seeing new players jump on for a couple of days and log off because they’re are getting railed by big boys is sad for the community, as it limits player pop and money going around the economy. Sure determination can split the difference between a basic clan and successful clan, but seeing new people who have no clue how to start with no direction can be hard and unmotivating." Rolex: Former Altis Life Moderator -”Get rid of the gang affiliation stuff, focus on making the rules equally beneficial to both parties.” Sun: Leader Of Clout 9 - “Civs need a civ admin.” Hugot: Support Team Member - “Well I would view the server as a little bit boring and that it needs a change because for the past two years it has been the exact same. What I think needs to happen is that the devs change up the map so it is completely different. And be maybe fixing some of the problems with how there are more cops than civs” Mathew: SF Member - “The server is a shit show when it comes to cop vs civ roleplay and pvp, the cops have lvl 4 or explosive proof vests while civs have max lvl 3 vests. Most the cops think they are rebels and just roll around in helis and hunters decking on rebels when it's not necessary, for example when doing a drug run or you just finished a war with a gang they somehow know and rock up and arrest the winning gang or the "leftovers". Also another problem is when our gang (sf) kill just a few cops in sydney. every other cop goes on armoured patrol just for a few civs having a 9mm guns, it's a altis life roleplay server not North Korea life. One more point is that cops and meta your name and arrest you for something your gang member did, this shouldn't even be a rule in the first place as it just gives cops a massive advantage over civs, especially civs in sydney as you could be unarmed and you gang member gets arrested for dumb shit then the next thing you know your arrested for standing there unarmed. Theses are some of the main issues I wanna address.” We really want Straya to grow. Please leave any other suggestions below

Every time SF has 8-9 people in Sydney, 90% of the cop forces dies.

Excessive conversation irrelevant to the game or by non-pilots in the Discord Aviation channel will result in your removal from the channel. Pilots have priority over other players in this channel. 5. Music is allowed in vehicle/direct chat but must be turned off if requested. Aviation Pilots have their own specialised roles, therefore they come with additional responsibilities. If you have any issues with a pilot, please report the player to a staff member. Pilots must ensure that they are not flying over or near Side Missions that can trigger a timer or cause the enemy to change to an alert state. Heli pads 1-4, the Medevac pad, and the grassed area are to be used as a staging area for passenger transport helis & VTOLs ONLY. Grassed area may also be used as an emergency landing area if required. It is in the best interest of pilots to call their movements when flying around base (e.g Crossing runways, Landing Pad 2/Dusting Pad 2). This should prevent confusion and accidental crashes at base. Please note that pilots are not obliged to follow instructions from a person playing as ATC (Air Traffic Controller), it is up to each pilot if they wish to comply or not. If we determine your piloting skills to be incredibly subpar or disruptive to other players (including in Discord), you may be blacklisted from the role. 1. All pilots and the UAV operator MUST be on our Discord server--in the correct Aviation channel--and communicative. Your microphone can be muted but your speakers must be unmuted at all times. Exception if Discord is down or full. 2. You MUST be a pilot to fly an aircraft. If you are a non-pilot and there are less than 20 players on the server, then you may fly a helicopter in co-pilot. If there are over 20 players: Non-pilots may fly a Hummingbird to and from Side mission only. Pilots are not permitted to fly the Hummingbird located northeast of base (at 'Side' base). Non-pilots are not permitted to fly the Hummingbird(s) at main spawn. 3. Please respect the Discord pilot queue by checking Aviation channel chat. This is done by typing "P1, P2" for Transport Pilots and, "F1, F2" for Fighter Pilots. If you jump the queue, you will be removed from the slot. If someone has jumped the queue in front of you, inform a staff member. Delete your post once you have received a slot. If a pilot's game crashes, it is up to the next pilot in the queue whether they take the slot or wait for the previous pilot to return. 4. At server restart, the pilot slots are first in, first served. Your position in the queue is irrelevant. If you are waiting in the queue near restart time, try your best to get a slot at restart or continue waiting. In the event of a server crash or unscheduled restart, pilots retain their slots where possible. 5. CAS pilots and UAV operators must follow the ROE at all times https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/topic/15329-ia-jetcasartillery-roe/ 6. Only 1 pilot is allowed per aircraft. Exception is if a pilot has requested evac. 7. Transport pilots must land their aircraft on one of the marked pads on the apron at main spawn. If all pads are occupied, find a suitable place to land nearby, such as the grassed area behind the pads. Pilots must give priority to all aircraft needing the Medevac pad. It shall remain clear unless all other marked pads are occupied, or if needed for a priority tasking. The Vehicle Transport Blackfish is to be used to transport vehicles and supply crates ONLY. Transportation of troops in the Vehicle Blackfish is not permitted unless they are in a loaded vehicle. The Vehicle Transport Blackfish is not permitted to land on or near Helipads and must use the Airlift Pad located on the taxiway near runway 22R/04L. All Vehicle and Cargo transport must be loaded from the Airlift pad. 8. Pilots must not play as infantry while in a pilot slot. This includes completing, or attempting to complete, infantry objectives (e.g. Radio Tower, CSAT Commander). Pilots can wait a maximum of 5 minutes for repairs/evac. 9. You must be able to fly AND LAND any aircraft with reasonable competence. If you do not have experience in any aircraft, you may be asked to leave the role. 10. This is a public server. Aircraft are not private/reserved transport. A pilot’s primary role is to provide timely, efficient, and indiscriminate transport of players, vehicles, and cargo to and from objectives for all players. 11. If you are an inexperienced pilot, please consider the time and enjoyment of others. The editor is there for a reason. If you see any player in violation of the above rules, contact a staff member on Discord by submitting a support ticket, or typing !admin ingame.
