MoITF 1:10:24
Team consisted of a stone tank, a fire/kin controller, empathy defender, and the rest scrappers. A rather cheap but effective go at MoITF 
You should totally leave work early and start the raid up 30 minutes sooner.

I probably will be trying to start it up 30 minutes early, that way we could start right at 9:30 with no delays.
I should be there barring any unforeseen circumstance and I will surely like to run one of the teams.
And thanks on the note from the Raid I lead. I had a good time and got some good suggestions while running it.
And the MoITF was fun, not hard at all; of course with me healing it wouldn't be.

Like always I have work-related stuff to interfere with my game play. I will be running late on this day. Thankfully Tusk will get everyone started, and the raid will begin at 9:45 PM sharp. I will get there when I get there!
Greetings everyone!
Yes, once again I shall be taking over the reigns. I will try to fill Chants shoes, but I was never good at walking in high heels.
I shall be in RWZ around 9:15 starting to do invites and channel announcements, but the real recruiting will be about 9:30. I would like us all ready at 9:45 to go. Hopefully Chant wont be too far behind that start time.
If you want to be a team leader, please let me know and I shall get your name put down. My team got about 300 Vanguard Merits, I am hoping to at least meet, if not exceed, that amount on this go. I have two more costume pieces to buy and that outfit will be done.
Any questions, feel free to post them or send me a message. See you all at the War Zone.
Tusk
I made arrangements to attend, so I will be there as planned.
Thanks to all who attended the raid, I forgot to check how many merits I had before starting, but I think I gained about 290 from it. Not bad, and it went pretty flawless. Had a bomb stealer, always hate those. Otherwise flawless almost. Hardly any deaths on my team at least.
Had five FULL teams. Thanks to all who helped, especially the leaders!
Thanks for running it, Chant. Glad that you were able to make it. Sorry everyone that I dropped the ball, forgot about the time zone, which I normally don't do.
Sorry I missed out. Hopefully I'll be able to fit the next in with my schedule. Wrapped up on an LGTF when you guys were starting, and then I needed to log out for awhile.

I'm going off old memory, or at least things I think I remember, but there are 2 timers for a raid, right?
1 for the shields : 30 min(?) after the last pylon goes down / shields go down, the shields reset
1 for the bomb credit : 20 min(?) after you plant a bomb, you can plant another for credit
I think the time was off during last nights and I had a free and clear bomb to get 2nd credit for the team I was on, but I was following Chants' time call out and as I was clicking the thing, the shields went back up. I couldn't remember what the timers were, so no big deal. Also, I saw the bomb plant message while teamed but I couldn't find the damn credit for it; they've moved it from the last time I bothered trying to keep track.
Otherwise, Raid was fine and didn't see a lot of loafers not helping and/or staying dead for too long.
I've already forgotten about most of you
Yes, very solid ship raid overall. The fact alone that it was constant killing and no major team wipes is proof positive that it went great.
Not to mention I actually got my GM kill point this time. lol
Think the bomb credit is towards the top in the Accomplishment category, Voo. I saw the counter for it when checking some badges on Grey Pilgrim last night. Either that, or it's the Achievement category... I always get those two mixed up.

The way it actually works is that shield return 30 minutes after the defeat of the last pylon, and your team can plant a bomb EXACTLY 30 minutes after the last. However, defeating the GM and planting bombs can slightly extend the time that the shields return.|

My team ALMOST planted another bomb, I was knocked back in the process of planting it, and shields returned during a team member's second attempt. The timer I was using for the planting was my own timer, if a team managed to plant their bomb before mine, it was possible that they could have planted a second one before my team could. It's really up to the team leader to keep their own timer, I just shouted out my time for general reference since most people don't keep track of that (and I think my team was the first to plant a bomb that I know of).
I am not too terribly sure if I am going to do a raid next week. I have time, but with I17 coming out I figured many would be occupied with all of the new stuff. Likewise, Im kinda scared many people would try to abuse the raid to attempt to level their lowbie demon MMs. What do you all think?
First, I'm hosting a rather impromptu MoITF tonight at 10:30 PM EST. We have room to consider a few more people as I'm being a bit picky with this one. Get online and send me a tell to be considered.
As for next Ship Raid, Im scheduling for 4/27/10 at 9:30 PM EST. Check out my most recent raid posts for information on how I plan to lead the raid. I plan to attend on the character, Apparitioness. I strongly encourage as many force field toons to attend, and would love to distribute controllers to each team for maximum AoE. The raid is later due to my work schedule, and mutiple requests from players. Unfortunately I could not schedule this time on a weekend.
Tusk, we should consider either co-hosting raids or alternating. I heard you did very well taking over the last one.
PS, I convinced the admins to change my name from Chantress. Chant was unavailble before, not sure how I lucked out getting it.
