Sir, just a few questions:
1) Federation only or Combined with KDF side
2) Time (Usually 2030 EST for muster and proceed by 2100 EST)
3) Space or Ground
4) Muster location
5) Any restrictions or something special (shuttle, TOS ship, MK 10 - white)
6) Beer recommendations??

1. Fed only on account of muster location
2. 2030 muster (as always)
3. space
4. My bridge
5. Nothing higher that T5 or T5U
6. If you can get it in Yank land, a Great Northern or a XXXX is always a good choice

FCAPT Preston -- Good job, Sir. We all need to be reminded of what we all have today is a direct result of those who sacrificed their lives for the greater good.
Wargames -- What did I learn? I still blow-up, but not as fast. Good times for all.
For Com7ITS -- we need to work on our formation flying.

The wargames were fun, thanks to everyone who came out!
And thank you Preston for the memorial service. It was well done!
If anyone ever wants to sharpen their pvp game, I'm available (when I'm actually on) to test builds and workout ability timings if needed. I'm not the fleet training officer (who does a great job, see him for builds) but I can help you tweak a build for pvp. Building for pvp is different than pve. You gotta think about the status clears and such a lot more, and you need to build your ship to your strategy. Unless you're a Super DPSer- then you just press the BFAW-SUPER-OMNI-DPS-KILL button and hope you live long enough to see it through.
Oh, and if you're in pvp and notice you are suddenly taking a lot of damage, check to see if your target popped feedback pulse. It's a killer.

Hey Wil,
Here's my keybind to my spacebar:
/bind space "GenSendMessage HUD_Root FireAll $$ +power_exec Distribute_Shields"
Then I assign a macro to one of my mouse buttons to cycle my weapons and shields 50 times a click, which usually runs out about every 2 to 3 minutes. I also have a macro on my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, which runs the spacebar an infinite number time - the forever key. But it is a bit buggy when it comes to pushing the Ctrl key for voice comms.
I had planned on reorganizing my tray items by length of time to recycle, and then creating a macro for each just for kicks, but never got around to it.

Kerry,
Be careful about putting Dist Shields and Fire all in a macro, as it can interrupt the firing cycle, and cause some weapons not to fire in a cycle or mess up the timing of synchronized firing (especially when trying to use a certain ability with a certain weapon, i.e. torp spread with a specific torpedo).
I find that utilizing tactical team properly is more efficient than dist shields can hope to be, especially in PvP because of flanking abilities that cause extra damage. Dist shields has the potential to move the shields away from the facing you need it on at the wrong moment. I use dist shields manually by clicking on my ship icon, if I need it. If the dist shields is in your macro, however, and you want to reinforce your rear shields, clicking the rear shields button gets overwritten when you have the next macro cycle run.
Also, if facing science ships, it's likely dist shields isn't doing anything because they don't care about shields, most of the time.
My 2 cents.

I know I need to redo this keybind. I need to factor in the timings and firing sequences. Just hadn't had the time. When I get to it, I'll post my results.
