I've been wanting to host a tournament (prolly heavy, medium, light ships, would take 1 week for each ship class) for a while, and, considering feedback from past events, wanted to know if you guys would prefer NW to keep going those 3 weeks, or if this tournament would replace them thouroughly.

I'd rather do both, personally.

+1 to both.

Make regular NW to keep tradition

After NW, tournament. Keep TEAMs as much as possible, like with 4x4 or 3x3 combats. Make classes and one MOTH-only combat where pilots can't use guns (only valid guns are turrets) as warmup for incoming player-owned tridents (only 1 turret more!)

Ok, so I'll schedule it prolly 1 hour? after nation war. Here's what I had planned:

1st week- assuming we have everyone that wants to compete signed up, we'd have a quarter of all the fights in each category- reaching the quarter-finals.

2nd week- all the next people fight- reaching the semi-finals

3rd week- etc. same thing, each category to get their winners..

last week- all the winners faceoff in a match to the death. We could then have a moth war (only turrets) in d2 to finish it off.

Thoughts?

Make it complete per day. Every class every day, until a daily winner wing.

But I'd suggest to re-classify not by ship, but by WEAPON, as Light (light weapons only), Mixed (s+L ports) and Turrets.

We go tracking the results here on forums, and discuss if/how to do the finals on 4th day.

Hmmm.... I like that. But I doubt everyone would show up EVERY day at that specific time, and I can't host every single day.
