Basic Rules
Only those who are on-time are allowed to participate.
Participants must be on their nation's team unless they can make a claim to be unaligned in which case they may choose to fight for Grey.
Teller-Ulam mines, and pet bots are not allowed.
You may not start fighting until the host signals the start of the battle.
You may not return to the battle sector after you have left except to observe from a healthy distance in a bus.
No running from the asteroid field.
The last team standing wins.

And for my own edification: who has trouble keeping track of who is on the Grey team? I never thought that it would be a real issue for people but I guess I may as well ask how it has worked out in practice.

Very fun, as usuall.

I went on SCP to 'feel' it. and can say that valks have unbalanced spin torque, combined with their acceleration and armour making them almost unbeatable when used with hit-n-run tatics.

at least for me, with network latency of 210ms for server response, was aiming in where I expected the valk to be and spam trusting in auto-aim, gat turr. + 2gauss. Got a few hits, but seems to me that valks move faster than network response.

probably a chained flare would be effective. shoot like flak guns... must try. So make sense more guns in Proms or reduce valks acceleration ~ spin torque/speed, or reduce its top speed to 200/210m/s.

About teams, gray was stronger, despite 7x8, UIT had more newbies.

About gray team, game engine should permit another team.

Hey, I wonder if a guide could change the faction of Grey pilots to unaligned for the duration of NW. That would be awesome.

/me goes to submit a support ticket.

The last four people in the NW were flying valks. No valk perished before that. They're too good at hit and run, they don't really have to worry about being hit/taking any effective amount of damage when doing so.

i would just like to point out that grey one last weeks nation war also due to supperior team work and tactics not because of "hurr durr valks are overpowered"

while today those superior tatics were not required due overpowered ships??

uh, no alloh we still had supperior teamwork and tactics, it appears that the other teams have yet to use anything remotely close to teamwork seeing as most of you fly around shooting randomly at people instead of making priority targets and such.

you can say that the last people alive where all in valks but that was more of a tactical decision to leave mistena for the end as we where picking people off one by one.

Suggestion to improve IFF during NW.

-Make a group with your nation
-Who dies must leave group, so survivors can see team changes.

We had teamwork, a leader was calling priority targets. Despite having a team with less PvP vets, we managed to eliminate everybody not using a Valk.
