Ultimate/Planned Capital Ship Battle

Apr 23, 2005 JestatisBess link
There will be an Ultimate Capital Ship Battle Saturday, April 30, 2005, at 7pm GMT (12pm PST, 3pm EDT). This is a nation specific free for all battle. UIT vs Itani vs Serco.

Guidelines/Rules

1. All players should defend their own nation's capital ships. Since its a week away players with bad faction with their nation can heal their standings by then.

2. All players not in your nation are KOS. (There won't be any changes to the faction system though.) So being Itani, I'm going to kill any UIT or Serco who get anywhere near my ship and I would hope you do the same.

3. Combat starts when the ships get to Sedina B8. You should defend your ship and if necessary heal it on the journey to B8. Healing in B8 is OK too.

4. I would like it if all the ships could arrive in Sedina B8 at the same time but guides can't warp the Cap ships. So the UIT and Serco should hail their cap ships to slow them down a little. The Itani cap ship has the longest route so no one should hail it on its long journey to B8.

5. The ship that lasts the longest in Sedina B8 is the winner. There is no real prize but you will have bragging rights over the other nations.

These are just basic guidelines for the battle. I can't enforce them but I think we would have a better battle if they were used. Hopeful we can have a major battle with 80+ players.

Special thanks to Sherpa for agreeing to help me by spawning the Capital Ships.

------------------------------------
There will be an Ultimate Capital Ship Battle Saturday, April 30, 2005, at 7pm GMT. Use Daylight Saving Time (where applicable) to translate the time.

Thats:
12pm PST (GMT-7)(San Francisco, USA)
3pm EDT (GMT -4)(New York, USA)
7PM GMT (GMT) (Casablanca, Morocco)
8pm IST (GMT +1 (Dublin, Ireland)
9pm CEST (GMT +2) (Paris, France)

This is a nation specific free for all battle. UIT vs Itani vs Serco.

Final Guidelines/Rules

1. All players should defend their own nation's capital ships.

2. All players not in your nation are KOS. (Like I said before I can’t enforce this but I think we’ll have a better battle if we’re all nation specific)

3. Combat starts when the ships get to Sedina B8. You should defend your ship and if necessary heal it on the journey to B8. Healing in B8 is OK too.

4. I would like it if all the ships could arrive in Sedina B8 at the same time but guides can't warp the Cap ships. So the UIT and Serco should hail their cap ships to slow them down a little.

5. Any player attacking a cap ship before entering B8 will be KOS for all nations.

6. Chanel 205 will be used event communications.
a. One player from each group should report their Cap ship’s location on 205. They should post at least the following location information:
1) when you leave your capital system
2) when you enter Grey Space
3) when you enter B8
b. If anyone attacks your cap ship, please post their name on 205

7. No bots will be spawned in B8 until there is only one ship left. This is a player battle we don’t need to test the effectiveness of the bots. (You all know the bots can kill a cap ship in minutes)

8. The ship that lasts the longest in Sedina B8 is the winner. There is no real prize but you will have bragging rights over the other nations.

If we have time after the battle is over and every one wants to we can have span another set of cap ships for a regular battle.

I encourage all players to follow these rules.

Again special thanks to Sherpa for agreeing to help me by spawning the Capital Ships.

Please check your time in advance :)

Addendum:

Prize:

The winners receive 2 Million credits. Each nation needs to pick a leader before the event and message me their name. I’ll give the 2 million to the leader of the winning nation and they can distribute the money to their players. The winner will be chosen by one of 2 ways:

1) If combat starts when all 3 Capital ships eneter Sedina B8 then the nation who keeps there ships alive the longest will win.

OR

2) If combat starts when the 1st cap ship enters Sedina B8 the winner will be who ever keeps their ship alive the longest. I’ll use my error.log to determine the winner. (The error.log logs all chats channels.) I’ll also try and get a 3rd party to confirm the winner before I award the prize.

Good luck to all I hope to see you all on Saturday!!!!

Thanks to Joyce Sanders and Renegade ++RIP++ for keeping us all informed on the UIT and Serco Ship movements. And also slowing down both ships so they arrived in Sedina B8 within a few minutes of each other.

By the way, I’ve given out the prize money to the Itani’s. 100K each. If you haven’t received your money please message me in game.

hey don't forget that you guys had 2 times the manpower. (we put like 3 - 4 newbies (<lvl3combat) in the guns just so they felt part of the game). in total we were with like 10-11, while the itani were with 20 - 25.

not to mention that ours issued on roids :(.

I was operating last undamaged turret on IDV Sola before last Serco attack in which our capship was destroyed. I barely managed to jump out before the blast.
Although outnumbered, Serco fighters put up a fierce and brave fight.
After destruction of IDV Sola even a few Serco n00bs bravely stood their ground along their veteran fighters and fought valiantly against overwhelming Itani force.
Serco government should be proud of you.
Sincere congatulations to you all.
