My First Fraps Movie
So they have this program for recording your gaming sessions on a PC. It’s called Fraps (as in Frames Per Second) and two nights ago I tried giving it a go for the first time.
I attended a PvP (Player vs Player) class in my favorite game, EVE Online, with a group I’d flown with before. I’d already graduated their Basic-level class, but it was my brother’s first time, so I decided to try and record the most significant fight and make a little movie out of it.
So, here goes. I wasn’t real pleased with the slightly choppy framerate (I think I should have set the FPS to 60 rather than 30) and I wasn’t sure what to do about the screen resolution. I play EVE on my laptop at 1440×900 pixels and I was concerned if I shrank it down no one would be able to read any of the text.
Oh well, it was my first try and it was still pretty cool working on it and laying in the soundtrack and title cards. Click the link below to open the movie player in a new blank page of your browser. It is in streaming Flash format, so it should begin playing almost immediately and without a lot of buffering:

Yeah, Sev, I noticed that the main problems was that students didn’t stay out of smartbomb range as advised by Bamar. Perhaps they didn’t fit long enough range weapons as instructed, but if you watch the video you can see 8 students getting popped in the first 25 seconds by the smartbombs.
If we had more than 4 or 5 of us there at the end I’m sure we could have killed that Typhoon!
Oh well. As always, it was a fun class.

yeah, noticed that, it happens … i saw there where 2 smartbombers, so its a little bit more difficult to stay out of both SB-range, especially for those damaging blaster fitters
i remember my first basic class, i was so overwhelmed, i could not do anything else than set a fixed orbit, and fire the guns
cheers,

yeah Initially I think it was lack of recognition. I know I got nailed bythe smartbombs late in the fight. I was aware of em’ but trying to get in effective range for my rockets at the same time… Tricky thing to do. Cool record of the fight.

Yeah, rockets are really like 5-6KM weapons and you would certainly be BBQ’d at that range by the SBs. But that’s what these classes are for: to learn and get better!
