FORT ANTWERP IS OPEN
Last Updated: 2024-06-19
NEW! Starfortress Access Card
SCUL pilots can get into the fort Monday through Friday: 9am to 10pm, Saturday and Sunday: 9am to 7pm
We now have much easier access to Fort Antwerp!
- Go to the front desk at Holton.
- If you haven't met the deskie yet, let them know you are a SCUL pilot. Introduce yourself by your call sign and request starfortress access.
- If you are running an MRC or basenite, let them you know you are hosting a SCUL event.
- The last one to leave for the night goes back to the Holton front desk and returns it to the deskie. If it's after hours, drop the card in the drop box outside Holton.
Despite what the box says, you don't have to email member-services.
A huge thanks to eXceSs and all involved for enduring the long journey of getting this system implemented. I'm hoping to see a more fort activity as a result!
The Wizard of Antwerp
If you need to get access to the fort after hours, we have a floating 'Amulet of Antwerp' (key fob): get in touch with the Wizard of Antwerp to arrange a time to meet up and get you access.
Goose - the REAL Wizard of Antwerp
If it's the wee hours, and the amulet isn't within range of your grapplers, and all hope has failed, it's time to call the GOOSE. He's around almost every night, and is happy to let SCUL pilots in to do their thing. Call or text him to see if he's around before heading over: (978)944-4924.
Note: Skunk has given up his fob to the Holton front desk but Excess, Doctor Claw, and Hackworth have Amulets
Typical Launch Schedule
Do you best to arrive at T-Minus one hour, especially if you need the time.
SCUL prime missions use the following schedule:
- T-Minus 2 Hours: Airlocks open. Mission status set to 'preflight'.
- T-Minus 1.5 Hours: Cadets arrive at Fort.
- T-Minus 30 Minutes: pilots are physically present at the Fort.
- T-Minus 15 Minutes: All ships fully preflighted.
- T-Minus 15 Minutes: All affairs of the Gate Attendant are settled.
- LAUNCH: Countdown clock at 0:00. Mission status set to launch. All ships to the launchpad.
Once ready, we head to the launchpad - the other side of the garage door where you ring your bell to get in. It's on the map above.
Condition Green Criteria
Assemble at the launchpad at the given time. Once we have 'condition green across the board', the mission leader calls 'FALL RANKS'.
