I'd like to know about this .

Is there some "Dispatch" I should have somehow gotten ?

{ Not computer literate as per such things as 'patches' generally , but a dis-patch sounds ok ! }

Check your spam filters. If you find it there, then set the account it came from as "not spam" so you don't lose any more emails from TAG. ;)

I've not played enigma for some time. I really wanted to give MP a spin. If you get it together I may be interested but right now I'm focused on games that are presently available.
sf, this is what is going to help fund MP, and give us some fun at the same time (and also get a LOT of new content for the single player.) Every combat cycle, you will be given the link to a mission to download. You will play that mission to the best of your ability, and then upload the results to TAG's server. TAG then takes the results, and makes note of any changes to the "balance of power." Then they issue the newsletter letting players know how their actions have influenced the campaign, and craft the missions for the next cycle based on what has happened.

For example, what if the LFN is able to sink most of the merchants going to Singapore for several combat cycles, and the USN has no luck in stopping them? You may see the LFN retake Singapore!

If you do well in your missions and survive, you'll gain rank and be able to move up to larger ships (assuming you want to! You may want to stay with the ship you're in.) At the Commander level, if a new AA gun (for instance) is developed, you may want to expend some prestige and have your ship go in for refit, and get your present AA guns replaced.

I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I hope TAG can hire some more folks so that MP gets here sooner! A lot of what we will see in XP will be used in MP, so the only overhead will be crafting the missions and collating the results.

=) This sounds pretty good. But I'd still like to read a little more info before I sign up.

Great Game so far though... excellent graphics and the voice command works Mint.

Open ended questions for discussion..

What if a person joins commander level in January, and another player

joins commander level in May, will the 2nd commander be able to download all

the previous ships retroactive?

If the first commander has been paying for 3 months before other players

that join in April/May, will his XP be the defining factor who gets to use

those ships?
XP member site access; A members only location for in-game events,
downloads, etc.
Will having a XP member site seriously degrade the flow of news, support,

announcements, & free message chatter that needs to show the public how well

the game is doing, and whether it is still alive & active while the members attention is diverted away from public forums?

Since the XP site is considered "members only" when will the public be

informed that they also have something to look forward to in Multiplay...

will they get to see screenshots of Extended Play and "new ships" a certain

time/few months after the "members only" have been able to use them?

Can you re-send me the dispatch? It got deleted somehow, I can't find it.
