Date:3rd July? (Could Change) Location:Omega-49 Independents Allowed?:Only If Registered
Description:
Molly forces will form up at the Omega-49 Jump Hole in Dublin. Corsair forces will form up at the Omega-49 jumphole in Omega-47. When the two leaders inform the each other they are all ready, they both jump to Omega-49. Once in Omega-49, each army will fly to roughly C-E5 and will engage each other. The formations and/or tactics of the armies and how they engage each other is up to them. No retreating & resupplying from bases then re-engaging.
Allowed Ships & Count:
Cruisers - One
Gunboats - Three
Bombers - Four
Fighters - Five
Gran Canaria is at E-4. I could easily see the battle move toward the planet, at which point one or more Zoners might decide to intervene. The technical term for this is a 'Muck-up'.
I would either choose a more different location or plan on having, at the minimum, Zoner spectators.
An alternative might be to have the battle in Omega-3, between the Cambridge and Omega-5 jumpholes. This has the additional advantage that both sides have a base in the area - Cadiz in Omega-5, Lisburn Rock in Cambridge.
If I could suggest moving the/a Molly start point to the Londonderry jumphole, both sides would have to deal with fewer npcs. Also, since most of the npcs are high level titans, the Mollies would suffer most from starting at the Dublin/O-49 jumphole.
It's a space shooter. But yea, it would make more sense for the Mollies to launch from Arranmore, while the Sairs simply invade into Dublin. And do a big battle around the O49 hole. Mollies... probably don't have much interest in going to O49... (Unless Gran Canaria has a few stills somewhere)
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

The Mollys shooting Corsairs all over Omega-49 is a bad idea for a basic event like this.
Do eet in Dublin, where the Corsairs are and Mollys are.
Why wouldn't they be in Omega 49? I reckon the only reason there's no Molly NPCs in the system is because of a developer oversight. Gran Canaria's infocard even states that the Zoners are afraid that the Mollys are going to beat them up there / do something horrible because they're renting their planet out to the Corsairs.
Arranmore is 12k away from Omega 49. Londonderry directly links to Omega 49. The Mollys have better access and reasoning to fight in Omega 49 than they do in New London.
