We're getting closer to the end of this era, so in the interest of keeping things moving, we'll make some manual adjustments to some of the upcoming UFG windows. With the current setup of planet capture windows, I recognize we go for 2 or 3 windows at a time which are during our typical off-hours, so rather than let that be the case for another week and some change, we'll ensure the next three are at busier times.

The next three windows will be (all times in EDT):

• Tuesday 3/15 8pm-1am (Regularly scheduled by UFG system)
  
• Friday 3/18 7pm-midnight (Configured manually)
  
• Sunday 3/20 4pm-9pm (Configured manually)
  

After the window on Tuesday 3/15, we'll consult with clan leaders to adjust which planets are UFG, most likely by again having each side pick three of the other's planets to make UFG.

We'll assess how things are going after these three windows and if necessary, give another update on scheduling then. The hope is that this will allow the current war to continue progressing toward a natural conclusion.

As for the actual end of the era, that's still TBD. We'll be working on plans for that based on how IC events play out, and at some point soon we'll open up applications for era 3. We don't have a specific plot direction set for era 3 yet; that'll depend on which applications we get, so now's a great time to start mulling over ideas for that.
