ST-Alpha introduction

[fluttershy]

Hello,
ST-Alpha is a tactical orientated* ArmA2 Squad that has been founded in January 2012. It currently consists of a small dedicated group of people from multiple nations (Brazil, Canada, Germany, Norway, Poland and the United States so far). However, we are always looking for more players to play with. If you want to become a regular player with no responsibilities, that is no problem. We don’t distinguish between ST-Alpha and community members when conducting an event. As long as you know how to fill out your role and have a certain maturity level, we couldn’t care less.
We believe that a good ArmA2 community/squad/unit or clan is required to have the following aspect: good quality gaming sessions. This is what we are trying to obtain at ST-Alpha in- and outside of the game. If you are interested in how we acquire this, visit our homepage and read up on the philosophy. Come by and game with us, so you can get your own impression on what ST-Alpha is about. Become a regular player or even a fellow member of ST-Alpha. We are looking forward to game with you!
We are also willing to join events from other communities and we are not shy to download other addon packs. If you are searching for a good partner to play with, please contact us via.
To make it easier for you, we have summed up some basic information below.

News-Update: Pick the Pattern

As some of you might know,
ST-Alpha is currently working on individualized combat units for our campaign-missions and other internal operations. We are now at the stage where it’s all about the camo. In order to satisfy our needs we will add the A-TACS Desert Camo as well as the new A-TACS FGS for woodland environment.
But now we need, or actually want, your help. Use the comment section to tell us which camo we should field with our new units. The picks will be announced with the release date of the units and the two contributors with the most fitting camosheme in mind will be added to the credits and will recive insight upon the status and creation of there camo part.
The units will be available in a total of 5 camotypes.


So would like to have the community participate and give us their ideas and thoughts on two proper camo types which are not completly overused at this point. Even your self made camo could be choosen.

Server-changes
We are happy to inform anyone that we are now offering a mod-server that is running your favourite game modes like Domination, Insurgency and newly Patrol Ops on custom Maps like the wonderful Island of Lingor and others to come.
In order to enjoy playing with our used mods we also enlarged our aviability on Six-Updater, adding a "Light" version which only features the main components needed to connect to our public servers.


ST-Alpha Units V2 Beta started
Our personal created units are currently going trough closed beta within our members ranks to ensure a proper quality of the final release. Many thanks go to advar giving us permission to work on his amazing TF86 units. What will make these units different from all the others released recently? - Camo and an almost sick ammount of attention to detail. We made sure that no operator within the addon look alike and every model has something unique that will differenciate them on the Battlefield.
The creator of the Re-Skin said "oh god I hate it when you place 20 Generic looking SF-Units next to each other and you can not tell a difference between them, to highlight that, even the clothwrinkles are the same. But not on my watch!"
The Units will feature a total of 4 different Camos that have never been seen on any current ArmA unit released to public.
Currently we are waiting for permission by advar to release these unit to the public so the whole community can enjoy them.

Workshop
Currently we are planing to create a timeframe for an Editor / Texturing Workshop that will teach interested people the basics and later advanced techniques to create missions, edit gamemodes and create textures. The priority of this is set to minor as other, more important internal things have to be brought in order first, but don't worry, it's on our pinboard.
