Corsairs and Pirates (currently running)
CORSAIRS AND PIRATES
Thursdays at 3 PM CST (2100 game time), starting November 5th
Somewhere in the universe, a hostile Unaligned Constellation is about to make its run. It is heavily armored, it has an escort of Behemoths loaded with cargo, and it is worth a fortune to whoever decides its fate.
Two crews want it. Only one will get what they came for.
The Corsairs have one job: tear that Constellation apart before it gets away.
The Pirates want it alive, and they will hunt down every Corsair who gets close.
You have twenty minutes. Pick a side.
HOW TO JOIN
In the hour before the event, the sign-up sectors will be announced in channel 100. There is one in Sedina for each team. Fly to your team’s sector and send the Observer there a private message: hi
When you join, your name appears in channel 100. Changed your mind? Say “hi” to the other team’s Observer before the event starts and you will switch sides.
Only pilots who join a team before the event starts can earn the reward. Late? You are still welcome to jump in and fight.
THE BATTLE
When the event begins, the Constellation’s location is announced in channel 100. Get there fast, because the clock is already running.
Behemoths: As the Constellation takes damage, hostile Behemoths warp in to hunt the Corsairs. Each one carries valuable cargo, and every Corsair who destroys one earns bonus combat experience.
Reinforcements: The event host may send in Vultures to help either side, so do not count on the fight staying even.
Countdown: Everyone in the sector gets a message every minute, so you always know how much time is left.
Corsairs, bring firepower and bring friends. Pirates, stay sharp: every second the Constellation survives is a second closer to victory.
WHO WINS
Constellation destroyed within 20 minutes: the Corsairs win
Constellation still alive after 20 minutes: it escapes, and the Pirates win
THE REWARD
Every member of the winning team receives:
500,000 credits
2,000 Combat XP, 1,000 Light Weapons XP, and 1,000 Heavy Weapons XP
+25 faction standing (Corvus for the Corsairs, Xang Xi for the Pirates)
