    From the perspective of someone that was in charge of things here, just wanted to add something.

     

    Lots of the wishes and suggestions I see now are a stark contrast to what people wanted in the past, so not sure what changed. Reports and things I heard in the past were: not enough to shoot at, not enough action, failing was not fun, intel gathering is not fun

     

    Am glad that seems to be changing now and people want to take the unit in a new direction. Just wanted to add that little tidbit; I did want to move the unit in this direction, but I was afraid of a backlash.

     

    Glad to see Hito doing this thread, too. Gonna keep an eye on it and see what happens, I still consider 3d the child I willingly gave away full custody of.

     

    Rock on, friends

    I'd just like to add: I think it's unfair to argue that anyone who doesn't like how things are run are in 'violation' (it's early, excuse the somewhat harsh word) of the realism definition of the Unit. There is nothing saying that playing in a realism environment in ArmA, with realistic Unit policies, equates to killing fun by grading everyone; or coaching everyone on a constant basis. Leadership, and general enlisted member burnout is very real because of decisions made at Command level.

     

    All I'm saying is that at some point the Command needs to make a decision on whether they want to prioritise fun in a realistic environment like I tried to preach a few times, or whether they want to slowly strangle the unit with misguided decisions. I'm not saying the FTX should be cancelled or modified as is, but some reconsideration should be made in regards to how you view the Unit. This is a hobby, this is the internet, this is a game -- it's about time it's treated as such here, too, in my opinion.

     

    Note: I'm not going to add much more, everyone so far has made valid points, I'm not here to belittle the work of anyone; just stating that someone should have thought twice before they started wanting to grade a gaming unit for performance -- even if it's a realism unit.

    If anyone is still using this, be aware the addon I was suggesting has recently come under fire for stealing your internet history and being kinda crap spyware in the last week or so.

    I have updated the lead post with an open source alternative/fork of an older Stylish version before it became shitware, the new addon is called Stylus.

     

    I do highly recommend switching over. It functions almost identically.

    can confirm this, we've been purging Stylish from 20k computers at work as if it were the plague

    Just as a note: we've already actually had CYFOR in Norway for quite some time;

    Their uniforms are not far from what Cole imagined, either. I think any serious military should consider having this branch. They specialise in using technical equipment, portable UAVs/drones and the likes, as well as "digital border defence," which is integral to the protection of any country nowadays.

    I finally got my server up again, this time running FTB Revelation, same launcher etc. There's teams on the server

    89.34.97.147 is the new IP if anyone happens to be interested, there's a long bridge leading you to the closest mainland because we spawn on an island
