Darkwind:Tactical provides player-defined wilderness combats using predefined vehicles and characters.

DW:Tactical is 'just for fun' and has no impact on the Evan game-world. This makes it ideal for scheduled multiplayer PvP play and for those players who prefer to be able to play combats without needing to build up their own resources in a persistent game-world.

You get to choose the map, the precise vehicle configurations and characters involved. You can also set a time/date and password for your event so that only invited people can participate.

FAQ question 1:

Can I play DW Tactical when I'm not online? Say, for example, when I'm on an 8-hour airplane flight?

No, DW requires the gameserver and its attached database for any gameplay, including both DW:Tactical and event replays - an Internet connection is therefore needed.

When you design a new vehicle (starting with just the chassis) in DW:Tactical, it is automatically saved for future use.

I will start work on a DW:T management page in the website, which will (among other things) allow you to rename and delete these vehicles or make them hidden from other users.

Close it using the 'M' key, and open it again (also with the 'M' key).

At first I thought this was an awful idea overall (and the concept of it still is :p), but after having actually tried it I realize this has potential to easily evolve into a design tool that you could use to design/prototype more scripted encounters for eventual use in the actual game. So it was probably worth the effort, especially since you did it in a way that people can have fun with and enjoy. :)

Is Darkwind: Tactical only for Subscribers or can I bring people from outside the game in to Darkwind: Tactical and let them get the feel for things?

Kinda.

The Tactical AI is a lot less aggressive than what you'll see in game. The typical action is finding the primary pathing through the map and driving away. You can sometimes force the AI to fight via placement, direction, etc.

Improvements such as being able to set the AI behavior (Fight, Run-Away, etc) is on the list, but it's a fairly low priority so I think it's back a bit.
