- BOWEX) and GATEWAY| FURBALL -
Event is an idea right now, so open to changes!
BACKGROUND:
The rivalry between gateway and bowex is one of the most formidable of any of the top corporations, regular clashes between Gateway Interceptors and Bowex Trade Vessels are a common sight in the Omegas.
Bowex being the bigger and more prestigious of the two Bretonian trading factions is usually more on the receiving end as being the ones who end up getting pirated. Although revenge attacks by Bowex ExSec ships take place also so its a real tit for tat.
This event would just spice things up a little bit more making a spectacle out of the rivalry between Gateway and Bowex.
RP BACKGROUND FOR THE EVENT:
There is a new contract up for grabs from the Bretonian Government it is worth Billions and guess what? Bowex and Gateway both want it, and only they stand in each others way.
To test for the best Bretonian company who should be awarded the contract, Bretonian government have decided to put on a little competition to see who can deliver the most goods (RP Commodity) in a given space of time.
Which is where this event comes in to play as each side has to try and stop the other from delivering as much cargo as possible during their round. So they will win the contract! Luckily the traderoute goes right through non-house space (Omegas) perfect for an ambush!
THE ARENA:
OMEGA 3, 7, 9 and 11
AIM:
To kill as many trading ships of the rival faction as possible, with the event split into two rounds. In each round, only one side will use snubs and GBs while the other will use traders + limited snub escort.
Offending Side: Blockade the Convoy in the Omegas and stop as many traders as possible from getting to their destination. Traders must be killed, no quarter can be given, killing escorts is a secondary objective.
Defending Side: Break through the enemy blockade and deliver cargo to destination, limited escort must hold off attacking craft so the Convoy may escape, the more traders that make it through the more likely you are too win.
In each round, Bowex and Gateway will RP one side and then switch sides after their round is up.
HOW TO WIN:
For the offending side, they must kill as many traders as possible, the cargo they are carrying is very high value and as such if even one transport gets through could spell disaster for the attacking side, given the value of the contract up for grabs if they loose.
For the defending side, the more transports you get through in a given time the more likely you are to win.
Each round will start with 10 players on each side, 10 Attacking and Defending (6 Transports and 4 Escort Craft).
TIMING:
Round ends when all the Traders have expired their roles either by dying or making it to their delivery point with their cargo. You only get one life in this event as a trader or an attacking snub!!
Escorts may rejoin the fight if they die, but the total number of escorts cannot exceed 4 at any given time.
Each round will be timed, timing will end when the last trader expires its role.
DESTINATION:
Transport Bretonian Gold from Dublin to Munich.
TACTICS:
Each company may use whatever tactics they wish while Roleplaying their side whether defending or attacking provided they stick within the confines of the rules their side must adhere to.
For e.g. Defenders may wish to spread their convoys out thinly utilizing all Omega systems to get as many traders through as possible but this will take longer remember the trade contract will be awarded to the company that delivers the most cargo in a given time, or they may run a traditional convoy format faster time but high risk as potentially all their eggs are in one basket.
Attackers (offending) may decide to place interceptors in every possible Omega system on the route, risky as you dont know which system they will go through if they convoy you could miss them entirely! Or Attackers may decide to place their interceptors at a bottle neck in a hope of catching all of them in one go, risky if the traders spread their convoy out thinly.
So winning will be a combination of Luck, Planning and Prowess!
OORP PRIZE:
a brand new 'Bretonian Luxury Liner' paid for by the loosing side!!

Black Widow. On behalf of the Bowex command, thank you for posting this idea without discussing with us first. You'll find that we are very opposed to this idea.
Now, you may be wondering why. The first reason being this line:
Quote:There is a new contract up for grabs by the Bretonian Government
No. Just no. The Government would choose its method of transport before contact. The methods of choice is Bowex and the Merchant Navy, seeing as they are under the direct control of the crown (MN more through BAF command, but the principle idea applies). Gateway is not a crown affiliate, more a independent corporation with Bretonian origins. Why choose those you do not have a substantial control over?
Then we come to the line:
Quote:best Bretonian Company who should be awarded the contract
Once again, why bother? Choose the company, stop wasting time. Not sure if Gateway had noticed the Gallics on our doorstep means we don't have time to mess around with "competitions".
And the final problem that relates to that:
Quote:has to try and stop the other from delivering as much cargo as possible
Please remind me which side in this war Gateway supports? The actions of Gateway and it's "raiding parties" means crown funds are being wasted replacing ships and cargo lost, that should be focused on the war effort. Is Gateway really that caught up in its own selfish gains that it cares not for how it's actions hurt the House of Bretonia.
So what I am saying, is Bowex) will have no part in this. Enjoy this alone, and enjoy aiding the Gauls, because Bowex sure as hell will NOT attack Gateway in time of war.
We know who the real enemy is.

Addendum: (Final Thoughts)
This event will be a great way for Gateway and Bowex to really compete, as this type of event offers both sides a fair chance to actually win here.
Because Gateway and Bowex will have 2 chances to get the edge over their opponent both with their trade rounds to get as much cargo to the delivery point as possible then disrupt the opponents trade run during the attacking round with a chance to kill as many transports as possible.
So two chances to get even in the trading and attacking rounds, of which both sides will alternate trading and attacking roles at the end of each round.

Well that's a very disappointing revelation from our corporate rivals, the whole point of this event is to generate some activity and fun between sides!
I think your reading too much into the RP background of the event, a government contract can be easily tweaked to a more reasonable RP reason for the event. It dont have to be a contract.
Your complete lack of interest or willingness to partake in this event is very sad but I guessed your reaction does not come as a surprise to me.
Your groups activity is lacking and I am just trying to make things more interesting, dont blame me when your bored sitting there with nothing to do!

Why trying to win if one already has won?
Bowex elitism ftw.
