Kapitaen Krieger Kreuzer Events

[tfmachad]

First shipping event - Sunday, May 18th 2008 - 6 PM GMT (1 PM EST)

[color=#66FFFF]Roles:
1. Transports: The convoy leaves Yukawa* (New Tokyo) Shipyard en route to Alster (Hamburg) carrying Hull Panels (70%) and Optronics (30%).
2. Escorts (RM-RFP/KNF-KSP): Kusarian escorts take the convoy as far as the border of Frankfurt, where it is transfered to the Rheinlander ones.
3. Pirates/Terrorists: Local pirates/terrorists from each House try to disrupt and prevent the convoy from reaching Alster.

* Unfortunately I've made a mistake. These goods aren't sold in any of the two Shipyards in Kusari. Ship Hull Panels may be acquired at Freeport 6 (Tau-29) or Yanagi (Sigma-13); Optronics may be acquired at Planet Honshu (Honshu). For the sake of the story, the transports may buy these items in any of these or other places selling these items and then meet at the Shipyard.

Rules of engagement:
1. The "cruise" rule does not apply for this event;
2. Ships may not dock during the event. Any ship that docks is considered and/or disabled and may no longer fulfill its purpose in the event;
3. Transports cannot be directly engaged until 50% of the escort force is destroyed. Transports may break away from the escorts (engage cruise) if that number is reached. The intercepted convoy may keep moving at impulse speed in order to produce a "timer" for the event**;
4. A maximum of 20% of the transports may be destroyed on the Kusari side of the event. The remaining transports must be allowed to escape so there can be an event on the Rheinland side;

** I'm considering allowing the transports to make a hasty escape from Kusari space so the guy in Rheinland won't have to wait too much.

Observations:
a) The "transport" role for the "shipping events" is open to factions and independents, but the transports must be either tagged and IDed after one of the Rheinland or Kusari companies (Kishiro, Samura, Daumann, Republican, ALG or Kruger), or untagged with a generic Trader ID;
b) Participating transports will automatically be awarded 1 million credits by myself. This is just a compensation for the trouble and for the goods acquired;
c) I'll throw in a 20 million credits award prize for one of the transport participants chosen at random;
d) The pirate/terrorist roles for the events are open to Rheinlander and Kusarian groups, but they must register their intention to participate here (the ones who already did are exempt from this).

VERY IMPORTANT: If there are any problems during the event concerning people "breaking rules" of any sort, please, contact me directly through PMs and I will sort it out myself. Remember this is supposed to be an RP event. Can't have it being disrupted by ooRP discussion. So please, don't.

I need feedback concerning the revised rules of engagement. If you guys have any doubts, suggestions or criticism about them, post them here. I'll work out a list of participants so far so we can keep track of who is on. I came up with (6 PM GMT) as being a "central" time. Tell me if that's good enough.
