Running Live: Rookie Central, The camps

Hi,

On behalf of DDE we have developped a special website which we decided to share with the public in order to help train new players and give the more veteranned players some nice missions :)

Rookie Central can be found here


It has grown quite extensive already and many people signed up and are using it.

The idea behind it is simple, with a registered account, you log in and select a mission you want to do, and provide data from gatewars to log your millitary experience. From this, information is extracted to see if you meet tthe requirements for the mission in question.
And depanding what you did in game you either succeed or fails missions.

Missions vary from taking a ppt to raidig several million uus in a certain amount of turns, or kill things with not too manny losses.
It should be fun for everyone to do and feeedback on missions would be great.

At the moment there are well over 30 missions, and many more will be added to provide long term mission gaming. The beginner fase, or rookie, has been fully implemented, although certain missions will still be added or adjusted to fit the better needs of new players.
I've build a missions manager interface too :-D , to realy quickly and easily add new missions or update them.


Certain factors not fully work but are minor details, like time based - not yet active. Or performance - not fully developped yet. Keep that in mind.

It is hosted on the web server already, but I still consider it to be in a testing fase.
If you get an error, please provide me with feedback ASAP so I can take a look at it and fix it.
Development is still on going as many more things are being added.


IMPORTANT: your Main ID,when you sign up, must match the in game id of the account you use.
This shouldnt be a threat, as it is used to prevent from cheating with posting stats too xD .




Extra: A whole range of millitary experience ribbons have been added and a line of medals for the beginner fase/.

Rookie Central uses similair ribbons as the DDE ME ribbons, and has its own line of medals.

Where as DDE ME Ribbons are based on the Total ME experience,
Rookie central uses the ME accumilated since joining Rookie
central and doing the welcome mission.

Apart from the ME medals, there is also a line of special medals, these entangle:

ImageThe Rook Star: given to those having done 10 missions.
Image The Rook Star Bronze 1,2,3: Having done 10 missions in less then: 5000, 3000 and 1000 turns.
Image The Rook of Promise 1,2,3: Having done 20 missions and raided more then: 10m, 25m, 50m untraineds.
ImageThe Rook of Greed 1,2,3: Having done 30 missions and stolen more then 25T, 100T, 500T naquadah.
Image Complete more then 30 missions to complete the beginner level and become a Soldier. After this the beginnner missions are gone and new missions will appear worthy of soldiers.

Soldier missions are not yet implemented. These will be added in the coming days.
More to come...



Feedback about missions, errors, or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

tip: When doing the first 'welcome mission', don't have your stats too high ;)



Thanks in advance

As always an amazing job from our tech guru :-D This will certainly help new players catch up to the basics of the game and even more advanced stuff as its way more appealing and easy to use as FAHQ.

Thanks Scar :D

Come on people, you dont have to fear it ^_^ its all just some easy missions doing.

The registration requires no email confirmation so you can add a bogus mail if you do not trust it.

It also has a top 10 list of best users :D

Why would I need those :s you could sign up with a bogus name ...

All that matters atm is the main id, as it will be tied to statusses reports you have to provide ....

And you should know femme, .. I dont need this to provide me with more IDs :)

This is a tool genuinely build to provide some fun mission doing on a competitive drive and help newbies getting accustomed to certain game mechanics in a fun way :D

Try it ^_^

I am the only one able to access the database of this, don't worry, I'll give you my word the details inside will never be used other then for what the site is build for. Which is trainings and missions. ;)

Those stats are differnt then what you expect.
During your welcome missions all your stats are used as a NILL point, from that it will show the differences what you done / do in the missions after.

There is no way to tell what the peoples real stats are. (apart from the database, but you have my word on that)
