Well, it wasn't all that easy to come up with valid search terms that either didn't come up with any results or a massive load of them. So, I'm asking this question, because I think it's something that certainly a few players/squad owners consider from time to time; Inheriting/Requesting a redundant/old squad. Of course, wanting to become a squadowner of a squad that was created decades ago is likely entirely based on egoism. Talking for myself, I'd like to get one of the old squadnames because there was a squad from so long ago that had a reputation in SS as being a great co-op squad. I've been talking to other players about this, but I can't get much more out of them than "They won't do it" or "It just can't be done". I've found out at least one valid reason why an old squad shouldn't be inherited by someone who wasn't/is in it, and that's because squads are owned by someone/a player, making it their property of sorts. Is there any way to get a hold of an old squad's name? Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the reply, SOS. I appreciate it. Don't worry, I know how much time school and other stuff can take away from a project. I've only just now started a civil engineer program that'll last another 4½ years, and I'm already falling behind (!@#$%^&* all these parties!). I'm reading software engineering so I most likely will be able to contribute in the future, if your plans follow through as you wish. You could keep me in mind on your developers list, cause I'm aiming to become one after my years at college. I'm only quite proficient in php-language, but at least I have knowledge of a very programming-like environment.

Hey all! New guy, old in the game. I've been harboured in Extreme Games for a while and only now begun to think that I could contribute something larger than just create squads, talk smack and being afk. I have mentioned this exact same suggestion earlier on ForumHQ and got a reply from 50% packetloss that, although it indeed answered my original question, brought forward a few more... I've replied to the thread, but it seems a bit slow/dead over at ForumHQ so I figured I'll give this a shot. The original thread started something like this (shortened): I'd like to suggest a couple of additions to the % commands like these to extend the usability of % commands in-game: %anti (returns the word "Anti" or "Antiwarp" if you got it) %x (returns the word "X" or "X-radar") That way you could make a macro something along the lines of: '%tickname is in FR! [%coord] [%area] {%anti} {%x} If I had antiwarp and x-radar, this would result in: Tricon is in FR! [A1] [UpperLeft Corner] {Antiwarp} {X-radar} I got a reply from 50% packetloss: And now I'm down to these questions: It's unfortunate that development is halted on the sole reason that the developer in charge isn't investing time into trying to improve the client. Has Priitk got any co-workers developing Continuum alongside with him? Or is he the only current developer of Continuum today? Are there people around that tries to contribute to Continuum any more? Are the %-commands related only to the client or could this also be affected someway on the server-side?
