Vanu Rangers

I'm getting kind of bored here.

I keep on taking long breaks from Dragon Age. Things come up and it keeps me away from the game for a few days and I lose the desire to play the game. I have to force myself to fire it up and everytime I do I get sucked into the game again. Right now, I have no desire to play the game.

I've been looking at various games on Steam such as Bioshock and Mass Effect and each time I seriously consider buying one. The fact that it'll take me 1-2 weeks to download it and the fact that I probably won't play it much keeps me from committing to the purchase.

I'm on my deployment with limited or no internet connection at times.

I've been playing a lot of Dragon Age: Origins. I find it to be a good time sink, worthy of my time. It also seems to be replayable, so I look forward to restarting with a new character.

The past few nights have brought thoughts of creating a Ranger School within the confines of Planetside.

The basic concept of this would be to use the Vanu Rangers outfit as a school. Participants would make a new character that is reminiscent of their primary character's name with RANGER or RGR appended to the end or something to that affect. (I haven't decided on that appendage yet.) They would then be invited to the outfit.

Last night I spent my time in Planetside assaulting the Interlink Facility Zal from the western tower. The TR had come in and taken Zal pretty quickly due to lacking defensive fighters on our side and the NC quickly came in and took Rashnu and Sraosha, the other two facilities on Ascension, creating a 3-way fight with the TR in the middle.

I had a blast, hooked up with a lot of the older players that actually remembered me and played in some organized battles with them.

We rolled only Magriders and Galaxy Gunships, switching off between them as the situation called for it. Both were effective when the time was right and were further effective when coordinating with outside friendly groups.

Now that I have some time available with a lot more on the way, putting it to use comes to mind.

My thoughts lie on rebuilding, at least partially, the Vanu Rangers in Planetside.

I had some time to kill so I started to create a mission in ArmA 2. This was really my first time creating a mission from scratch.
