Your so funny Jes... :|

I should be on all day sat so time is no issue. :D

Jestatis: We could have the itani who would like to participate register on the [IA] boards and discuss tactics. Once they've registered, I can allow them access to the Itani group.
I point all itani to http://www.itanialliance.com/forums/index.php to coordinate this, unless [IDF] has a better idea on where to meet & discuss.
Are Roguelazer's [IDF] boards secure? We could do it there as well...

perfect Lebermac. all itani join the IA boards.

Are the serco and UIT discussing stratagy? If so post the location here so all UIT and Serco can participate.

ooh ooh, Can I join the boards?

Shape: My 1st thought is HECK no, but its up to Lebermac. You are still an itani and i welcome your input :)

Join the forums my Itani Brother.

Shape, you are welcome to join the [IA] Forums as an Itani. Any blue nation member may join. Of course, you don't get FULL access...

Solra Bizna is out working in real life, so it's unlikely he'll be around to notice any changes to the Sola's name. Still, if the name could be changed, a screenshot should suffice...

I'll inform my Guild of the event; since we have members of all three nations it'll be interesting to see the level of involvement we agree on. Usually we avoid fighting each other directly in such conflicts.

Hi Leber,

I sent you a private message in IA forum to access cap ship specific forum. Can you give the proper access?

Thanks,
Moriel

It'll be more fun if participants are not allowed to return to stations for repairs (but they are allowed to return to their capships for repairs).

I envisage a contest of who can fire as many swarms in a minute, warp out, reload, repeat. (You know who you are =P).

Anyway, good luck all and have fun. Hopefully this won't lead to flamefests after the fact, as things usually do.

[EDIT : COme to think of it, why not make the Capship a "roid", i.e. people have to be 3000m away from it to warp out. Or better yet, give capships ability to keep people from warping out for a limited time,i.e. tractor beams.]

Were not making any changes to the ship or to the faction system. The cap ships will behave the way they always have.

Post suggestions for changes to the cap ship on the suggestions forums.

Thanks

w00t! Sounds like BIG fun...

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!!!!

Cool, i'll be there. I hope we get a good show up.

I was thinking maybe we should make this an energy, rail, repair gun. battle only. That way it would not just become a contest of who can fire the most rockets and reload the fastest.

Also I guess wing-bugging the cap ships is outlawed as well huh? ;P

I assume any and all tactics will be used, any and all weapons, any and all strategies. I assume guides cannot use their powers for evil, but apart from that - sky's the limit! I fully expect to see tramshed attempt to ram the itani capship with a behemoth over and over again.

I'm ready for this on Sat. Should be fun.

I need any and all itani interested in helping defend the IDV Sola to register on the [IA] boards.
Borb if you have not been spoken for I would like to contract for your services. Half up-front. You too, Holden Caulfield. (BTW sasy hi to the missus for me.) Niki? Alamar? All you blue-colored [BLAK] folks are welcome to help on the attack!

The only things that are expressly outlawed are wingbugging and attacking before the cap ships reach B8. Anything else is OK.

People keep saying that the Serco don't have the numbers for a fight like this. I for won disagree with that statement. Even if they might have less people and they win they'll have less players to split the 2 Million credits with.

Again Good Luck to all I hope to see you all on Saturday!!!!

all I'm going to say is this:

42 players -- 21 Itani, 9 Serco, 12 UIT

Done can't say no to 1 mil. :D
And it would mean my fixing my itani faction was not wasted. :P

Rene 9 + 12 = 21 I'm sure the UIT would agree with you seeing as the UIT would have an easier time beating 9 Sercos by them self's over 21 itani with the possibility of the Sercos hitting them.

47 players -- 20 Itani, 5 Serco, 22 UIT (before me logging)

uit have numbers enough
