OC vs Corsair fight in Eta.
RP background
Messina freeport wreck Infocard
Quote:Messina Freeport was originally built by the Zoners in 770-780 A.S. Shortly after Omicron Eta system has become a site of constant battle between the Outcasts and the Corsairs, those few zoners who stayed here abandoned the station. In 805 A.S. it was been populated by a group of Corsairs who used it as a supply depot for their fighters, but only a year later an Outcast raiding party attacked the station while most of the local Corsairs were on patrol duty. Poorly defended with only a few low-power turrets, the station could not stand long against Outcast bombers and was completely destroyed. Most of the Corsairs who were onboard by the time of the attack managed to escape in remaining fighters.
Now some corsairs are manning the wreck and use it to explore possible weaknesses in Outcast defenses. They have been able to map hidden paths in the minefield and intend to use them in a sneak attack. Unfortunately for them the ship transferring those maps to corsair space was intercepted by an outcast patrol, who this way learned about both the hidden paths and about the corsair listening post. At the same time Outcasts are trying to set up their own listening post in the other station wreck close to Lentini to watch over the minefield paths. Outcasts are now launching an attack to destroy the Corsair listening post on Messina, but during the preparations they weren't careful enough and exposed the location of their own listening post to the Corsairs. Corsair forces are called by the Messina crew for defense and attack on Outcast post leading to escalation...

Note that Messina Freeport is at the bottom right of the picture, the Outcast listening post is the structure at the blue crossing on the top left.
====================================================================
Practical
Naming convention is:
OCXXXXX for Outcasts
CORXXXX for Corsairs
official factions can use their names as suffixes like they usually do
Also note that FR2 gives factions authority over indies, so factions are encouraged to lead their fleets if they wish to do so.
People are encouraged to switch sides to keep the numbers balanced.
Restarts show up when you type /showrestarts
You are advised to use restarts when docked on planet Erie, if you undock you get blasted by the LN dreadnought.
Ship types will be made available during the course of the fight:
starting from LFs/HFs, trough VHFs, Freighters, GBs/Bombers, Cruisers, Battleships and Repair ships
Rules
5.2, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 as well as 6.7 are not in place others, most notably 5.4 are!
Only ships allowed to take part in the fights are those available trough restarts.
Only OC/Corsair guard IDs are allowed.
Only own corsair/outcast faction weapons as well as those available on the ships at start are allowed, only exception are the Zoner BS Flaks.
Camera ships are to be used only for cinematography any misuse of them will be punished.
Outcasts
- start in Omicron 85
- their reputation is full green to OC guard, full red to everything else (including normal Outcasts)
Corsairs
- start in Omicron 74
- full green to Corsair Guard and Zoner Guard, full red to everything else (including normal Corsairs)
Equipment/Ships
- restart for each shiptype is provided with a wide selection of the guns, others are for sale in the system they start or in their guard system, each ship has more than enough cash to freely change loadouts. Please sell the guns you don't intend to use to avoid too much loot in space if your ship is destroyed
- all zoner guns/ships/ids sold in O74 are blocked from sale
- all capital ships armors are be blocked from sale (so ships only use the armor they start with)
- each ship has more than enough cash to freely change loadouts
Combat area
The fight is about the Messina freeport as well as the Outcast listening post and access to the minefield paths, any combat happening elsewhere does not help the cause of either side.
Corsair forces should be defending Messina and/or attacking towards the Outcast post, Outcast forces defend their post and attack towards Corsair one.
Note that during periods of very low server load NPCs can still appear and start shooting either part. Most notably there are normal OC NPCs in O-85 and normal zoner NPCs in o-74 which might cause some trouble.
