Ultimate/Planned Capital Ship Battle (13)
There will be an Ultimate/Planned Capital Ship Battle (13) Saturday, September 10, 2005, at 7pm GMT. Use Daylight Saving Time (where applicable) to translate the time. We will be using Scenario 1 for this battle.
NO RULES. Ok I’ll say it again NO RULES. Do what ever you want. I won’t be coordinating this event (because there is no need too). Fight anyway you want. Attack any ship you want and team up with anyone you want. Also no prizes at all for this battle. Just have fun.
19:00 GMT All cap ships will spawn at their ready positions:
(I don’t know exact locations but they will be spawned 1 sector away from Sedina B8)
19:20 GMT Cap ships will start moving toward Sedina B8. When the cap ships jump to B8 the battle will start.
Please be sure you are all on time. With the changes we should be able to start the battle at 7:20 pm GMT. I would like to start as close to that time as possible. You should arrive at 7 pm GMT though.
I once again want to thank the developers and guides for their help. Without them we wouldn’t have a game at all.
As always your suggestions, comments and opinions are welcome.

To Guides and Developers: Can someone post the date and time to the Guide forums. I just need someone to spawn the cap ships, and if you want to you can leave.

I suggest that you attempt to come up with a complex series of rules for all the nations and then totally stress over everything as the event unfolds. Being your right-hand man in the first 3 or 4 of these, the most entertaining part was listening to you on Skype watching things spiral hopelessly out of control.
Kidding, of course. Let's just go have fun!
And, everyone keep their eyes open for the "Neural Spike" somewhere in grayspace. 5 Million Credits!

After some slight confusion with the spawn script, the UIT ship entered Sedina B-8 about five minutes before the Serco cap ship. The UIT ship had taken a small amount of damage (7%) from people who struck before the battle.
Once the Serco entered the system, they began trading shots. The Serco were concentrating on destroying the UIT turrets, while the UIT were mostly firing on the Serco ship itself.
This continued for a while, and I managed to get about 3 turrets and shoot Mad Dog out of the air. The Serco systematically destroyed the UIT turrets until only three were left.
Then, the Itani ship finally made it to Sedina, and we had a whole new battle on our hands. The Serco and UIT ships were near 75% health at that point, and the Itani ship was in mint condition. The Serco and the Itani teamed up against the UIT ship for a short while, but amazingly we were able to keep our last three turrets intact for another 10 minutes.
After the last UIT turrets were destroyed, the Itani allied with the UIT against the Serco, and with the combined effort of Itani gunners and UIT bombers, we were able to overwhelm the Serco gunners and destroy their vessel.
Once the Serco had been neutralized, the Itani split their fire between the UIT cap ship and the UIT and Serco fighters and bombers that were making attack runs on their hull.
Amazingly, the Itani ship was destroyed after a series of attacks made by UIT spam Rags. The UIT were proclaimed the victors, and I destroyed the UIT cap ship by ramming it with a vulture (don't know exactly how that happened, but I'm not arguing).
As a prize, we got 2000/300/300/0/0 exp, and 250k.
I feel safe in saying that everyone was surprised at the outcome of this battle, since the UIT lost their turrets about halfway through.

I would like to thank Everyone for participating. I also want to give Special thanks to RelaRer and Obsidian for helping out. And also thank you Dark Knight for your commentary.
this was supposed to be a no rules and no prize battle but there was some confusion. Xp was given out to everyone who participated. And Joyce gave cash out to the UIT.
Again thank you all. Check The VO Role Playing forums for the next event.
