I know that this idea might take a little time to implement (not too much, but a considerable amount nonetheless), but in the end it would certainly bring a lot of interest into the game.

What if you dev/guide-types (not sure if guides would be able to do this or not) worked up a spawn script that would put the three nation's cap ships AND a levi (bot fleet included) in the same sector? It would be a nice change from the usual cap ship battles, and it would be a good chance to test the new Hive AI.

The Itani, UIT, and Serco would have to choose between working together to destroy the Hive and destroying each other (while praying that the Hive goes for the other teams). If it was well-publicized enough, it could concievably bring 60+ players into the same sector to fight. It would also be the first truly "epic" battle.

Of course, I'm aware that the servers might not be able to handle such a huge strain at this point, but I was wondering how feasible it would be, and if it's a possibility, how long would it take to work something like this up.

Everyone who would attend an event like this, post here with ideas!

Well, I wouldn't spawn them in Levi sector but all CAP ships could converge to the Levi.

This would give everyone a chance to board the capies and have a blast at the levi.

(I'm sure a few cappies would make the levi wiggle a bit!)

Aye! That would be interesting!

Itani and Serco would likely kill eachother no matter what, but it would be a matter of coosing sides for the poor, hapless UIT folks like myself (I smell RolePlay =) ). In any event, the Hive wouldn't care, and would try to blast everyone to bits all the same.

I think this was brought up when the levi first came out, it was and still is something I really want to see. However, I remember being told that the cap ships aren't really worked out to the point where they would be functional in a levi battle. I've forgotten the details but I remember the answer I got was "not yet".

Excellent event idea! I want in. :)

There's also the fact many people seem to experience lag in the presence of capships and/or the Leviathan, such that they refuse to play in events relating ot either of these since the lag takes the fun out of it. So being in a sector with the Levi and the capships on at the same time would be unplayable.

It will be a cool thing to see and will eventually come (after all, the Devs' original idea for the Levi is that you'll NEED a capship to take it out), but at the moment the stars are just not right, so to speak.

/me pokes thread in the hopes that a Dev will see it

I've never taken on a levi before, but anything involving big guns on big ships shooting big bulets against big bots is ok with me!: )

This is something we've talked about internally already. The devs would need to write the script in order for the guides to trigger it, FYI. "Not yet" is still a good answer for now. Some people do have framerate issues around the bigger ships which would indeed make things difficult, and NPC behaviors are still being tweaked. As these issues are resolved, such encounters can be looked at again. I'm looking forward to it.

Yay! Another addition to the list!

Not Yet (tm)

This is going to be awesome when (if) it comes out!

Did somebody give the impression that everything in Suggestions would be adopted and implemented immediately?

Yes.

Wait I thought this was the RP forum...

No, I just underestimated the amount of work that would go into implementing something like this.
