THE HEADLINES

SERVER UPGRADES:

Thanks to all of the recent donations, we have been able to upgrade our dedicated server hardware. They are now running on i7-7700k's and have considerable more RAM, we will be getting better performance and can now host more services per host. We encourage players to report any issues that have arisen since the server upgrades to the appropriate server staff.

I&A TANOA/MALDEN UPDATE:

The Invade & Annex Tanoa/Malden server is now running a new version of the I&A mission file, which includes the new role selection system Quik has been working on. When a player connects to the server, they now skip the traditional role selection screen and immediately spawn in as a standard rifleman. Players will then have the option to change roles, based on the new dynamic role systemwhich increases/decreases the number of each role based on the current server population. You can read more about the update in @Fitz's devblog here.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

SG EVENTS DISCORD:

Over the past month our new Events Discord has been instrumental in running weekly events on both our I&A and Wasteland servers. We have also had the opportunity of hosting several community zeus events run by some of our talented I&A players. We encourage anyone who is looking for something a little different to our regular servers to jump on and have a look at some of our upcoming events. Anyone who is interested in running a Zeus event is welcome to contact me via the forums or discord to set up a mission :seemsgood:

STELLARIS GIVEAWAY:

THE THEATRE OF WAR- COMMUNITY ZEUS:

The Theatre of War is a new campaign of Zeus missions being run by @decibel_spl based on jungle warfare with a threat of a global takeover by China after becoming a superpower. The first mission - named Operation Curtain's Draw - gave us intelligence that the Russians have been supplying CSAT forces with equipment and weaponry - this is assumed to be part of the Treaty of Good Neighbourliness and Friendly Cooperation, enacted in 2001 (4 years earlier).

The significance of CSAT's presence on the island of Tanoa has decreased thanks to the removal of Zheng, but unrest is still reported. Marines will be working alongside the Army to try and calm the citizens over the coming days. Be sure to keep an eye on this thread for the next mission briefing.

ESCAPE NIGHTS:

Starting in the near future, the Community Team will be running a weekly Escape Night on Fridays at 7PM.

Escape The Island is an up-to 20-player coop gamemode where the players attempt to reach the borders of the map by any means possible to escape. Along the way the way they have to survive onslaughts of infantry, armed vehicles, artillery, helicopters and attack aircraft trying to stop their attempts to get off the island.

A post will be made shortly with further specifics and a start date.
