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.
I welcome any comments and suggestions you have. And spread the word about the battle to any other players.
Special thanks to Sherpa for agreeing to help me by spawning the Capital Ships.

will there be more than one set of ships? The Itani ship can rarely make it through the ion storms to b8 with full health.
well and the zelor likes crashing into roids on its way to sedina...

I remember meeting the UPK Halel and UPK Lennan, at one point; so it stands to reason that it's possible to have more than one set of cruisers.. Maybe Sherpa can spawn three of each, and insta-kill all but the healthiest once they get B8?
**edit: guides *can* insta-kill stuff, right??

the point here is to see how well we do together as a nation. I know the itani cap ship has trouble in storms all the cap ships do.
"You should defend your ship and if necessary heal it on the journey to B8. Healing in B8 is OK too."
More then one ship can be spawned but i would rather have us work together to protect one ship not have more then one ship spawned and pick the best.

Agreed. I will be there, and everyone that I can pull from [IA] will attend as well. Thanks for posting on our boards, Jestatis - that's the easiest way to contact [IA].
This is a very recurring and annoying theme. I want to be Serco! The Itani hate me, (-1000) I'm the Serco pillar of Society, I fly a red striped prom, and I'm still blue. ARGH!!! Could you make a small exception for this battle at least, and let me fight for the sercs? I would ever appreciate it.
And some more things for the devs:
1) I can't bot out of Itani land, and yet they hate me and I hate them
2) I can't bring cargo to Catequil, (it just tells me I can't enter that station, and to go to Coranis where they hate me)
3) I'm still blue. It's that simple
4) I'm losing my train of thought, I'll post later once I remember the fourth thing, I'm almost positive there was one\

Person: I want to keep it nation specific. That way everyone knows who there friends are. If i was serco and u got near my cap ship i would shoot you down, but thats just me.
Its possible to get your faction back up by botting if u want to.
You can also help defend the itani cap ship just don't get to close to it :)

I'll be there. How ever if I am Itani or Serco is up to y'all. >:) First nation to give me 1 mil in small un-marked credits gets me. (note: how ever if you are Itani/Serco and you would not like me on your side enough to pay me 1 mil I will let you pick which side I'm on)
anyway, I try to make it...

Surely a dev can switch Calder (Person) to Serco, right? I'd like to congratulate Borb for bringing his (better) Itani twin brother out of exile, and for realizing his capitalistic potential as a mercenary.
Although I don't know if you are worth 1 mil Borb. We'll have to duel...

Oh, and one more thing:
Since we're asking the devs to get this whole thing setup, why don't we freak out SolraBizna and REALLY name the IDV Sola the IDV "Solra" and see if he notices?

Actually we're not asking the devs. We're asking me. I cannot alter Person's nation, cannot rename the ships, and cannot /kill bots (though there are less sophisticated ways). I will look into spawning more than one set of cap ships. It used to be problematic.
Oh I am worth it Leber. :P
And what are you saying FM? Are you telling us that your not all powerfull? Lies all lies! You just don't want us to know your true power!

(FM = Sherpa, right?)
Sorry FM I was unaware of the circumstances regarding the creation of this.. 'event." Perhaps the devs want to discourage nation-swapping behavior.
Oh, and I guess the [IA] - [VPR] treaty is out the window for this event, eh? Temporary suspension?

Borb II: Even if you are paid you probably will show up at the wrong time :) Remember yesterday "Daneb 3" :)
LeberMac: I'm organizing this event. Sherpa is only helping out. I thought that a nation only contest would be fun. And if its a scheduled event we might get more people online to participate.
As for the VPR/IA alliance that's up to them. I would like players to stick with their nation, but like I said before its not enforceable.
