subject: Re: USO Intial Planet Edits Released

yeh, cos a 2 month points game with about half time planet edits, and lazy
and blue favouring ship edits (e.g. usually twarps on colts, 2 tpw isses)
is hardly unique at all compared to the other tourneys. The only thing that
made it unique was definitely that we had to wait a week to kill the
non-dedicated newbies, and that the main way to get kills on the good teams
was to wait till they missed extern for one reason or another. [yes that's
sarcasm you hear]

them all the same instead of being different?  USO's fed parking limit is
part of what makes it unique.  HHT is known for the interesting edits. 
BOTE is known as the servers tourney ( Servers get invited...) WTC was no
rules ( well....kinda)
