La primera, es que a la vista de la escasez de actividad en la EGL (por lo visto solo la 5ª Flota esta activa), y demas cosas, Dargo (administrador de la WPL/EGL) ha propuesto un jueguecillo al cual le ha dedicado una chinchetilla arriba del foro de la EGL. El post dice esto (ingré):
Un jueguecillo nuevo, parece ser. En mi opinion no es muy bueno en graficos, pero podria ser bastante entretenido.Dargo, administrador de la WPL/EGL escribió:Battlestations: Midway (formerly: Midway: Naval Battles)

Description: Experience every aspect of fierce WWII naval combat as you command a host of US and Allied air, sea and underwater units through intense, action-packed missions in hotspots across the Pacific. At your disposal are over 60 legendary war-machines, including huge aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, land and carrier based bombers and even submarines, all equipped with authentic weaponry.
Action based gameplay allows you to switch between all units under your command at the press of a button, whilst firing real-time orders to position the rest of your squad. In total control of breathtaking multiple unit battles you will engage the enemy in fierce dogfights, launch multiple attack squadrons from a carrier, fire the massive guns of a battleship, whilst launching deadly torpedo attacks from a hidden submarine.
The game consists of a variety of campaign and individual challenge missions, each with several objectives and multiple pathways. You will lead your fleet from Pearl Harbor, through the Philippines, Java and the Coral Sea to the decisive Battle of Midway. Each mission is conducted across immense open-world environments, featuring historically detailed island bases, fully destructible buildings and functional airstrips.
If that is not enough, head online and duel it out against numerous opponents in epic island sieges and head-to-head fleet battles.
Midway is a real-time 3D tactical/strategy game that adapts the naval battles of the Second World War. It introduces how the naval warfare changed during WW2 - from the dreadnaughts protecting the memory of Battle of Jutland to the forerunners of modern carriers. The player may control different vessels in real or hypothetical naval battles. The fleet consists of ships, captains, officers and crew of different abilities. In order to achieve victory, an effective team should be forged.
The episodes follow each other in a truly historical way. The player may choose the American, English, German or Japanese side to serve, which also determines his/her own, controllable character, the hero. During the campaign the player may climb up on the career ladder: from a captain up to the rank of an admiral.

EDIT x2: Se me habia olvidado... he visto tambien algo sobre una propuesta para unificar las Flotas y mantener una o dos flotas solo con los comandantes activos.
Investigando algo mas, he leido que dicen de mantener dos flotas unicamente, hacer obligatorio participar en una STAT al mes, y dejar libres los barcos de los comandantes inactivos, reservandolos para los activos.
Pero traigo mas noticias...
El mismo Dargo, asistió a la 3ª Quedada Intercontinental del SubClub/Subsim, en Holanda (a la cual asistió Florin Boitor, Desarrollador Jefe del SH3). Por lo visto, otro muchachote, tambien holandes, Drebbel, acribilló a preguntas al pobre Florin, y Dargo, tambien ha captado algunos detalles...
El comentario exacto en ingles, para el que pueda entenderlo...
Y el comentario traducido...Dargo escribió:I asked him he said it would be possible he can't say its gonna be made because he is not the man that makes that kind of decisions but it is still on the list.
If its gonna be made it would take a new Silent Hunter to work together (multiplay) so the best thing to do is to get UBI to notice that people would like Destroyer Command 2.
Dargo escribió:Le pregunté y me dijo que era posible, que no podía decir que va a hacerse porque el no es el que toma esa clase de decisiones, pero que aun está en la lista.
Si va a hacerse, se necesitaria un nuevo Silent Hunter para que funcionaran entre sí (multijugador), por lo que lo mejor que se puede hacer es que UBI se de cuenta de que la gente quiere un Destroyer Command 2.
Opinen.
