scotchh Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Before reading: this will be a Bastion event to be held on Fridays and Saturdays on the Bastion for the foreseeable future to help out new pilots on Bastion and an informal invitation to any new pilot from any server. If you have been interested in flying with a group to better understand the ships, the skills/basics, and calling out in voip with veteran players this will be a great opportunity for you to get in with a laid back group and begin to understand GSF a bit better. It was also brought to my attention that all the information I will be going over is on here in the forums and that is very true. I am personally not some one who can go through all kinds of information, read it and understand everything I need to know. I also know that others out there are the same way, and this will be for those types to really get into the nitty gritty in a Voip. The bellow portion is from my Reddit post. Reddit Post Or you can read below. With ques beginning to pop again on the Bastion The Bullet Club has noticed a group of people who have the necessary skills but lack the basics. We want to help the community because contrary to the whispers I have been getting lately of disgruntled players who go up against us we do not get off on winning every day. We are a small GSF community on this server and we would love to grow. If you are a pilot on the Bastion or really any other server we want to set up a night where we can all get together in TS3 and show off builds and talk about what we did as new pilots years ago to make the grind a bit easier. So myself Bullet-Rondo with, Bullet-Ignitia, and Bullet-Nike along with the rest of our new pilots would like to extend this offer to have both sides show up and be put into groups with some veteran pilots and learn some skills. Hit me up in game or one of the other pilots mentioned or send an email through Reddit. The days we are looking at are Fridays and Saturdays 8 server time because that is when we really get some great ques and have a majority of the pilots on. I am available most days to answer questions as well just look for a toon with Rondo on the name on the Bastion. If you also have a voip and you are doing GSF in your guild and want to offer up a channel to use if we get big enough that would be awesome as well. Happy flying and I hope this works out and is greeted with positive remarks... (Please on the Positive) We are looking to train not to push people away from this amazing side game.

Lavaar Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hey there, I met you guys on The Bastion last night and just want to say I like that you guys are putting in effort to bring new people into the game and teaching them to fly in an organized way. When I was there last night, I was very surprised by the high frequency of pops on a server that a lot of us had written off as being more-or-less abandoned. I had constant pops the whole time I was queing and had some interesting matchups. I may be back again sometime this weekend, will keep my eyes open for you guys!

scotchh Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yup it was great to talk with you last night and I can say the Bastion has seen some really decent all be it newb pilots coming around. I would love to see its Ace community grow and with the help of my team and some hard work I am sure we can become a power house in the GSF community again.

He thinks because I stopped playing there Bastion has miraculously recovered. Although I'm super happy to hear Bastion is up again and will definitely be returning there now. That is by far my favorite server to play on, I just couldn't justify playing there with the really long queue times while streaming. Watching me sitting on the fleet in queue just isn't entertaining for an audience. Look forward to flying with and against you Rondo. As usual I'd be happy to help train any pilots that want help, all you have to do is ask. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the queues there can support a swarm of hungry locusts there to destroy the local GSF population. Even if it's just one of you. Remember, you killed the other dead PVP servers too! And you probably killed Harbinger while you were at it. That's what I heard, anyway. Edited January 22, 2016 by DakhathKilrathi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchh Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I am not even sure how many people will be showing up but seeing how all of my lessons stem off of lessons you taught me over the years both as flying against and with you it would be a pleasure to have you around. I tell people every day I am mediocre compared to people who uste to fly here and my 130k damage 30 kills per match are mostly because i am not sure I know how to go easy LOL. I tell them do not let me sit still or it will be a blood bath and they have definitely got better about keeping me on my toes. I need a pilot like you to keep me sharp though because ill be the first to say sometimes ill take a second hit before I move because I know I am built. I got lessons still needed to be learned for sure but first I need to get everyone on Bastion in good ships and groups. The videos will be starting again as well sense I got my new rig and can handle the game while recording. I am just genuinely excited with the amount of new faces playing and I want to do my part to sustain this interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ques still popped every night and all it did was make the server better with its pilot population. I welcome the challenge I was never a better pilot then when I was going toe to toe with those amazing pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maulkat Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I rolled up two nugget toons on Bastion and will fly either side. Both are stock and haven't seen a match. I got my imperial to fleet, but have yet to do anything on my pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maulkat Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 My apologies for not being able to make it back Friday evening or on Saturday. Real life issues happened and stepped in the way. I will try to make it this upcoming Friday. How are the pops during the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookworm_Jedi Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Interesting. I'm on on Bastion, impside right now. Trying to find a good GSF guild in gen chat and I got some anti gsf comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakkolich Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Welp not sure what you were talking about Bastion making a come back I decided I'd stream some Bastion games. Got in queue waited 35 minutes straight and not a single game popped. If there is a new better time to play please let me know, because that was a really bad stream for the viewers.

Bookworm_Jedi Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Found out Bloodmark is fast becoming my favorite ship. Last match only blew up once and I got 2 kills! I was a happy girl I keep upgrading my bloodmark but I forgot I have 2 other ships. I wish the req would transfer to all ships inside of the one you've been flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchh Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Drakolich not sure what your talking about logged in last night and went 2 hours 6 matches or so 5 minutes between ques. but sometimes the que times take a while. If you are there solely to stream then I would say choose a different server we are trying to bolster the community now so it may take a while. If you are queuing Friday's and Saturdays you can get a match quick usually later in the night 8 to 12 server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the recording of that stream. No one managed to hit Drako, and he didn't miss any of his shots. It was definitely ace-level chairsitting. Edit: You could have labelled it, "GSF ace sits in chair," or something. Edited January 30, 2016 by Ramalina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchh Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thank you Drakolich for showing up last night for some Bastion GSF. Not only did you show up and get some fun matches in but my pilots really got a sense of how to fly when you are not the best. I enjoy flying against you but hearing some of my new pilots talking and strategising really made me feel better as a squad leader. Then flying with you (your 3 for 3 side switch) showed them how o fly with a pilot and be that pilots wing man. Hope to see you around more because not being the top dog in a match forced me to try new and more intense piloting that I have lacked in recent matches. That Imperium vs Scout on A match was intense wish I had a quicker lock on for that match but it was fun all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maulkat Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 not being the top dog in a match forced me to try new and more intense piloting that I have lacked in recent matches. One reason I invited you to fly against me on Harbinger many months ago! But I enjoyed flying with and against you on Bastion and look forward to doing it again around on the different servers.
