Sounds interesting...
It's a shame I won't be able to attend personaly. I'll have to see how it turns out second hand.

Hmm... perhaps a listing of what is and is not currently allowed for all parties would help? This would, of course, change as new points and decisions are reached.
As for class 8 or 9 weapons... I think the class 9 would kick serious @$$. However, the class 8 weapons I currently posses work just as well. Might even be better, since i'm not sure if the Stilleto or Centurion have class 9 mounts.

The trade lane usage is limited to two systems, however, this could be changed. If it is however, the time it takes to complete the event might take much shorter, and not be as fun.
And Davey, do you have a calculator in your brain. You come up w/ these numbers and things and they're almost PERFECT! :yahoo:
Hyperwave22 :cool:
We could allow class 9 weapons only for fighters, but I don't think the scans will take very long w/ three people. Thusly, in my opinion, we should still limit to class 8, but I will still take it up w/ Davey.

Corsiar Threat
The Corsairs in Omega-49 could present a problem. As one fighter scouting the area it was a bit challenging although I was able to hold my own and with 3 or more fighters then the odds have improved. Arround the planet of Cran is not the major problem it is feasable to hold orbit over the planet successfully. It's weather or not I think you can get to the planet. There are usually 4 corsair fighters sitting on the other side of the jump hole waiting for ships to arrive, I have been there 6 times and 5 of those they were there.
Trade Lanes
I have purposely designed the cruise not to use trade lanes, cause then it would not be a cruise of the galaxy afterall. I have purposely set objectives outside of the trades so that you have to travel to these spots for the cruise. If you were to travel trades the whole way then you would cut the trip to a third of the time of the time traveled and it would be over rather quick as Hyperwave22 stated.
Just a little note here; If I am going to put all this time ad effort into this event then I want it to last longer than 20 - 30 minutes
I am estimating the total time with all stops will be rouphly arround 84 minutes but like I said I am going to litterally test this to see the time tables for sure.
Calculator in your Brain!
LOL... i this made my day I just could not help but laugh at this.
I don't know how I come up with this stuff it just happens, So Yes, I must have a calculator in my brain. It just comes natural I guess. Now just to improve my spelling
lol and thanks Hyperwave22

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, you should make the limit class 9 weapons so that you don't have to scan EVERYONE. :)

Lvl. 9 Weapons
I am still testing this at this time and I have not ruled it out but if at all possible I would like to keep them at lvl. 8 to improve the experience but I will let you know soon about this since many are asking about weapons.
Also while on this topic... Ship wise for the groups if each group would like t present several ships to me and I will test them that is fine that way I can set the ships.

I am working on this list and will get it to you as soon as possible. The simple fact is that there is just so much to discuss and figure out for this event. But I will try to get this information as soon as I can.
the limit was already set to lvl. 9 weaps and equipment, no armor upgrades and no special weapons like nomad, order and the such.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just a little extra info in case someone is nterested:
Total ammount spent on event so far
60 million credits (this is the ammount of credits I have spent just testing things for the event)

Gunboat turrets can be bought in just about any place that you can buy a gunboat.

After all of the testing and pecuniary issues are over, or even now, perhaps, tell me how much total you spent so that I can reimburse you for at least half.

Well I wasn't expecting to be reiburst but thanks I will let you know. I think buying ships is the most expensive part of the testing. But I want to get everything right cause that will make the game all that much better. Afterall I am putting al this time into it so I want it to be good.
Thanks for the help

I have a character made for the pirates. "Outcast-V!RUs"
Might I be leader of the pirate group? Since, well, I'm the only one.
If I become leader, would I be allowed to tell people what ships/shield to use to make us look more professional and, well, organized?
Constellation Cruise - Official Thread - MrSns - 07-31-2006
well i would sugest yes. all leaders in faver of Virus being leader of the pirats say Yes or I
Yes :)

Constellation Cruise - Official Thread - AaronKoss - 07-31-2006
No i think they shold be unorganized but only for selfish reasons
lol jk I :)
Constellation Cruise - Official Thread - Hyperwave22 - 07-31-2006
I think, Virus, that it will be limited to you suggesting what you should all use first. If we get enough pirates, however, then yeah, we can probably allow you to tell your members what to use. If they all agree to listen to you BEFORE enough slots are filled, then go ahead with it. I'm pretty sure that you can be the pirate leader, but I'll leave that up to Davey Jones.
