Happy Fathers Day - Pre 4.86 Round Two

[Agmen of Eladesor]

The weekend beginning June 18th will be when this event occurs. Please remember that I am on US EST (GMT -4) so just because it's your weekend doesn't mean it's MY weekend yet. Be patient - you'll be able to get your pew on.

I am planning on using the same server shortcut as before, so that way you won't have to change anything in your shortcut file presuming you left it alone. That being said, I will probably actually start the event server up sometime THIS weekend for final testing, on a password protected basis, so don't freak out if you see it out there.

I'm also tempted to leave it password protected for the event, but we'll figure that out a bit closer to the starting time.

Camera ships will be available at no cost as a regular restart. Right now they will start at Dabadoru.

Because of the extra workload we've had these past couple of weeks, we've not gotten anything modified to lock the jumpgates / jumpholes and/or stations. So you'll be able to go wandering to modify your loadouts as you wish, but... (If we can get Isis turned off and Toledo closed, we will. It SHOULD be a simple code change - which is one reason we'll have the test server up and running early, to try those things out.)

Combat is restricted to Omicron Minor / Omicron Lost and the area between the Minor / Lost jumpholes in Delta. No Order raids on Daba or Nomad territory. No BHG raids into Nomad territory or past Minor.

The 'script' behind this event is pretty simple. The BHG|Core has amassed a fleet to overwhelm and kick the Order out of Minor. They're supposed to succeed in this. And then a complication sets in - one that's blue.

There are things that are being set-up that will occur that will NOT be announced here, so ... enjoy them when they pop up.

Ships and ship loadouts have been discussed and arranged with discussion from the official faction leadership of the factions involved. There will be some monies available on each ship to change your loadout a bit or to purchase some additional regens. The /givecash and /drawcash commands will be disabled for this event.

Any constructive questions or comments, please post them here. Thanks!

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

I really hope that this is referring to TME's ubernom. Though somehow i doubt it Q_Q

Anyway, looking foreward to it.

One question though; Will there be certain people in charge of each force, like the KNF-GRN event?



Edit: Clense, Purge, Kill!

Unexpected turns of event eh? Interesting. Attending this for sure.

[ProwlerPC]

I am pretty sure I will be making an appearance on the BHG Core side (no surprise there :P)

---

[Hell Hunter]

This is going to be interesting.

[Zapp]

May I have the Tundra in this event? Preeeetty pleeeease? *puppy dog eyes*

[Moreton]

This is going top be epic.

I'm guessing by "blue" you mean nomads:P

I missed out on the KNF vs GRN because I was on holiday, as an Order pilot, I'm so excited, even if Toldeo is getting blasted.

YES!!!

Ship roster is (at the moment):

Hammerhead, Manta, Bomber, Orca, Thresher, Bullhead, Mako

Nepthys, Bastet, Sehkmet, Hathor, Resheph, Geb, Osiris

Scyssa (VHF), Adad (bomber), Nammu (GB), Scorpion (GB), Irra (Cruiser).

There will be no Marduk (battleship) available. (Or will there?)

No, the Bottlenose will not be available.

Loadouts for the ships will be announced later. It also would be sort of tough for people to use the other sides equipment, as none of the sides in the combat can dock at each others bases. If there is a workaround that people are using, they will be considered cheating, and will be subject to being banned on the spot, with consequences for their actions on the main server as well. (Relaxed rules, not NO rules... The cheating rules still apply...)

EDIT: This thread has been closed for the time being. It will be re-opened closer to the event.

WHY NOT?!?!?!?!?THE MARDUK IS AWESOME, SO WHY CAN"T WE HAVE IT ?!?!?!?!

Agreed. By the way there would be more creative weapon loadouts if you allow it, Agmen

This sounds great, and the future of The Order is dark. They're 'meant' to lose without the Nomad interference, but do they now? Truly a great plan there.

I'm desperately trying to decide if Trent should make a show here. Either way, my fighters will be ready to jump in for The Order.

EDIT: And THANK YOU for letting the camera ships be restart-able.
