Defenders did fit in the last version with the old starkiller, might be worth testing it again. MK1 events seem to require a fair bit of playtesting to get right, so maybe spending some time in conneticut with the ships first would be sensible. I still have my lane hacker dagger and can fit it up for this event again if needs be. I'm also willing to set up a xeno ship for it as well, perhaps change my hawk to something more appropriate.
My suggestions off the top of my head would be the followin.
Max mines would be tadpoles.
Max armour would be MkIII.
Indeed, no torpedos at all, or missiles. Just an all weapon lolaround. And if needed, i can host a server with the 1500000000 starting funds to prat around, more than enough to set up a mk I fighter.
No problem with low level missiles. They're fairly well balanced against low level ships as I remember. But taking four missiles and a stunpulse on a dagger would still be a douchebag move.
OK, so, what's a good date/time for everyone? This could start out about halfway between Red Dear and Fort McMurray. Also, who among the LPI and LR (LR can use indies to balance if needed, I think we have enough LPI) are interested?
Another interesting event I want to participate in. I really need to find an internet cafe that will let me play, and soon.
Now I just gotta ponder an awesome name for my Bloodhound...
If possible, try to get the date for this event up well before it happens, I need to make plans ahead of time.
