User:Opplo/UCAF Air Force

United Countries Air Force, commonly known as UCAF is an old group created on the 28th of October in 2009 by opplo, as of 11/12/2013 the group is the second largest air force on ROBLOX and by far the most active consisting of over 2,000 members.

The group concentrates strongly on being an air force and takes pride in its technology but also has some side divisions like the Space Division. All users are to be taught to fly the planes provided so they are effective in air to air combat at UCAF Central Outpost, currently the main base for the group.

History
=== 2009 ===

When the group first started in 2009 it contained around 30 members on a small air base consisting of a small island with an Aircraft Carrier out at sea along with some simple aircraft like the following model. Throughout the middle of 2009 anotherbase was created which was slightly improved from the last one, this was more of an urban landscape and was never completed shown in this old advertisment video. At this point the group started looking into technology, it created a rather comic drone vehicle to film footage from outside the perimiters of the building.

Shortly after this a new member joined UCAF his user was Mendezio, he brought a whole new level of technology into UCAF and ROBLOX that had never been seen before. Space flight had never been fully considered at that current time and still today nothing like it has been created. This new technology came in the form of space Frigates. These frigates are mainly opporated through buttons in the control room. The control room would often consist of over 50 buttons each with there own function. The first frigate that was created by Mendezio was fairly simple with a single engine and some front cannons. Further down the line of frigate models a new ship was created that consisted two rather large missiles that could be fired and triggered to explode on the click of a button along with drop pods to evacuate the frigate.

2010
In 2010 a new base took UCAF by storm and growth throughout the group started to increase rapidly.UCAF East Outpost was created. It featured four islands, two of which (the UCAF spawn and the raiders spawn) were connected together by a bridge to make for some exciting gameplay. Another island contained a meeting room and a hidden island far away from the main spawns housed one of UCAF's prized frigates. With the introduction of Crazyman32's new planes this changed the whole experience of flying planes in ROBLOX and made it more realistic than ever. This base was were UCAF's numbers rocketed up to 1,000 members which at this moment in time was very large for a group. The large expanse of the base encouraged people to join the group.

2011
This year was set to be UCAF's best year yet with numbers still rapidly increasing up to 1,500 thanks to advertising campaigns throughout ROBLOX and the introduction to UCAF's new famous member Simoon68 who encouraged people to join UCAF. At this moment in time the community throughout the group was at it's very best helping to generate around 8,000 robux worth of funding for adverts.

2012
2012 was a stable year for UCAF. Member numbers stayed around the 1,700 mark while larger groups in ROBLOX were rocketing up to the 50,000 mark. It seemed that air forces on ROBLOX were getting forgotten, updates in the physics engine weren't favouring aviation. Opplo decided to build a new base called UCAF Central Outpost which currently has around 31,000 place visits. This new outpost unlikeEast Outpost only consisted of one main island and another small island on which UCAF would spawn. This outpost included boats, vehicles and Crazyman32 's new planes controlled simply by the arrow keys on the keyboard. The UCAF base and radiers base is sepereated by a large battlefield and two large gates surrounded by mountains inside of which are small tunnels to access the flags. The aim is to capture all three flags for 5 minutes, once this had happened the raiders would win. The base has only ever once been taken over by raiders.

Another incredible stride in UCAF's technology was also introduced to ROBLOX in this year. The opening of The UCAF Mothership created by Mendezio and opplo. This mega frigate is 8,000 studs long holds a hangar consiting of 5 other smaller frigates. The weapons on the mothership are to be avoided, featuring proximity weapons, carpet bombs, forward missiles, lock on turrets, parashooting tanks and many more interesting weapons. It housed four office rooms, a passenger seating area and also a racing track to entertain troops on long journeys throughout the vast space of ROBLOX. With the new introduction of place teleporting the group managed to find a way round it so that they could locally teleport our models into other places, this had never been done before and was soon patched after the video reached Youtube. This was a great moment for the group, a great publicity stunt and rather amazing. Teleporting something into another server had never been done before especially on this kind of level launching a frigate into FEAR's base and raiding, it is most likely we will never see anything like this again on ROBLOX.

2013
This is the year that UCAF finally reached the 2,000 members mark and was a moment to be celebrated, also a new user takes over the second in command, SNOWBOARDER200. But as the year went on the activity of UCAF started to gradually fall. The leader of UCAF opplo has reached the exam period of his life, this gives him very little time to expand the group and keep it active. In his spare time around college revision he is currently looking for a solution for activity. UCAF plans to soon advertise again to get new members but fear they haven't got enough money at the moment to generate enough new troops. He is currently working on a game for the users of ROBLOX which he plans to release early 2014 that will greatly advertise UCAF, until then UCAF is remaining largely unactive.
