Kapitaen Krieger Kreuzer Events

[tfmachad]

Second shipping event - Sunday, May 25th 2008 - 8 PM GMT (3 PM EST)
(The event it going by this clock. That's the current GMT time. London is on GMT+1 due to DST.)


Roles:
1. Transports: The transports convoy leaves Yokohama Shipyard* (New Tokyo) en route to the Alster Shipyard (Hamburg) carrying Hull Panels (70%) and Optronics (30%). The convoy will take the following route: New Tokyo / Honshu / Sigma-13 / Frankfurt / New Berlin / Hamburg.
* The two goods aren't sold in the Shipyard. 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 elsewhere and then rendezvous at the Yokohama Shipyard.

2. Escorts (RM-RFP/KNF-KSP): Kusarian escorts take the convoy as far as the border of Frankfurt (Fulda border station), where it is transfered to the Rheinland authorities.
* Last time the KNF ended up participating in the fight in Rheinland because there wasn't an event in Kusari. If the same happens again, they will be allowed to participate in Rheinland again.

3. Pirates/Terrorists: Local pirates/terrorists from each House try to disrupt and prevent the convoy from reaching Alster.


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 30% of the escort force is destroyed. If this quota isn't met and the pirates are down to three ships, then they may attack the transports directly regardless of the escort numbers. Once the convoy is disrupted, the transports are to move in impulse speed so the escorts can keep up (to promote a timer for the event). Transports in Kusari may break away and flee (break away and engage cruise) if the fight there takes more than ten minutes, so the players in Rheinland won't have to wait too much.

4. A maximum of 25% 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;

5. If at a given point the escorts have the upperhand (as in only three pirates left), the pirates may attack the transports directly even if the necessary number of

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.

Anyone who hasn't participated in the first event and wishes to join, please register here.

I have changed the rules a bit from the first event to try and balance things a little more.
