If you want, and i would definatly like, Make an FTL vid?

Some bits of info on the fleet, where we came from, and what we aim to acomplish;

From oppression Defiance was born. Through Defiance, Opposition was gathered. Through Opposition spawned the Rebellion. Through Rebellion we will have our Retribution.

FTL is a brotherhood of slightly egotistical, but deadly efficient pilots hell bent on bettering themselves and their faction through the acquisition and application of advanced tactics and maneuvers.

FTL was formed 0ctober 30, 2009 as an unofficial Dark Space fleet. Originally there were only four of us; Defiance, Opposition, Retribution, and Rebellion. FTL was formed in those days to protect vital ICC territories in Rogen?s Rift. Back then we believed it was vital for ICC's ability to retain new players. Ah we were but a few Captain rank players seeking to better ICC good days.

As Defiance and opposition grew in skill, Fatal Squadron took notice. After just a few lessons from Fatal Padma, they became cloud bombing fiends. Opposition even developed a skill along with Defiance for cloud bombing planets deemed impossible by other vets. They affectionately called the maneuver the Jet-stream attack. This maneuver got them much praise within FS as the bomber boys. Upon reaching 1RA, Defiance, Opposition, Rebellion, and Retribution were recruited into FS, where they adopted the name FaTaL. Once within FS, their duty was to hold ICC systems in Sag at all cost. The FaTaL division of FS made a new friend within FS, Starcommand.

FaTaL and Starcommand spend many months in Sag defending it against relentless K’luth attack by PB, often outmatched and outnumbered. FaTaL division honed their K’luth hunting skills during this time with their new trusty mentor Starcommand.

After many more weeks of the FaTaL division including Starcommand being the only FS or ICC on ever, they abandoned their post in favor of scenario and assaulting other systems. Fatal Padma kicked Starcommand out of FS for leading fleet members away from their primary duty of defending sag. Little did she realize, that he had FaTaL in front of his name, the same as the rest of the original FTL. Defiance, Opposition, Rebellion, and Retribution broke away from FS that night to officially start the FTL fleet.

The official FTL fleet was formed in January of 2010 with Grand Admiral StarCommand as our CO(due to his experience).

Later The fleet bacame so powerful, That we would devide the fleet into two or three parts and attack multiple servers.

At any given time, we had 4 or 5 people in Sag distracting enemies, and 4-5 people in home servers capturing away.

At the end of the day, the majority of the MV would be green and FTL tagged.

We regualry pushed Kluth and UGTO all the way back into their home systems from sag to just a few planets in HS. We were a force to be reconed with.

FTL was later gave rise to both Crows Nest and ICCU. Crows Nest was a merc corps opperating within ICC. It was later desolved back into FTL for lack of contracts.

Soon after Crows nest was desolved, Leaders of FTL gave rise to a unified ICC ideal. Many ICC fleets joined in on the treaty and formed ICCU.

When ICCU became inactive, original FTL members found their way back into the FTL fleet and gave rise to FTL2G (second generation).

Our Aim is to out maneuver our enemy and wear him down mentally and physically. We control the terms of our engagement, and battle is faught at our pace. Faster than light!

(sounds like a fan fic, but its an factual account of the fleet and its history)

FTL;
With RSM and FS locked in a stalemate at R-33, Councilor Takari seizes the initiative by sending ICC’s fast reaction squad to break through the battle for R-33 and cut off RSM’s supply line through Cincinnati.
CM Von of the cruiser Defiance addresses the fleet as they fall into formation;

“FTL’s mission is to disrupt and outmaneuver the RSM dreadnaught and station fleet, punch through to Cincinnati, set up a FOB, bomb all shipyards, destroy all enemy supply bases, and engage all enemy re-enforcements moving through the system. Damaged RSM ships moving through Cincinnati to escape the battle of R-33 are to be captured by indictor and destroyed with extreme prejudice! The enemy will outnumber us four to one. They will have larger, more powerful ships than us. Stay sharp, stay true, attack fast, faster than light!”


(FTL ships should all be Cruiser and under for this vid. Yea, I know sometimes FTL pulls out the super sledge, but most of the time, were a cruiser and under fleet)

Based off of a real operation FTL took place in not too long ago.

Feel free to spruce it up any way you want. Basic point, FTL is deployed much like the old WWII american silent service.

looks awsome.

One thing i suggest is continuity. Story says, UGTO attack ICC with nuclear weapons. Clip shows ICC fighting Kluth.(some)

just a small observation. Not a huge issue.
