[Planning] Treasure Hunt

[Vulthuryol]

Looking at doing a treasure hunt again (depending on interest, also possibly more than just one, do them in different areas ), after some tweaks to the idea, As it came to my attention this was a bit hard first time round and lacked timing and notice.


Current ideas are:

1. Create RP between Players via a Treasure Hunt
2. Free Participation for anyone within the RP ZOI boundaries ie; no gallics looking in liberty territory etc
3. Make the instructions easier to follow
4. Established ships only ie; no ships that cannot participate in normal rp, recuit id's, insufficient level etc
5. Post a couple days before the event, more players will show up - Tankinetic
6. Have rewards for, say, the first 5 players. More rewards means more people are likely to participate - Tankinetic - (Maybe not 5 as that would cut down the amount of prize due to limited resources, but still could compromise and do say 3 depending on the actual event itself)
7. No major time limit (some would still require some limit as don't want to be waiting all day and night)

Any more ideas are welcome, note: not all ideas will be included as have limited resources to work with ( If once it is up and running officially as an event and you want to contribute i won't deny that ) and they also need to be suitable to overall goal

I'm keen to see something like this happen. If you write some semi-decent RP about the event maybe you could get funding from certain factions? That happened with the recent Dublin Derby. Also if something like this does go through, i can support by adding money to the 'prize pool'.
(And maybe move this thread out of flood, possibly to here)

And maybe move this thread out of flood, maybe to HERE

- Thats probably not a bad thought, If required could some kind Moderator please move if need be

[Remnant]

Moved the thread to RP General Discussions. This isn't an event that is completed, but an idea thread which could very well lead to one. Good luck working this out!

Please note this is not an event notification it is only in the planning stages and all ships and equipment required aswell as routes will be decided at a later date if it gets enough interest, purely food for thought at this stage. here is the first hunt that i have come up with, let me know what ya think but keep in mind nothing beyond the idea thus far has been worked on and there will be improvements to be had I'm sure.



Event 1

1.Two rival unlawful factions opposing each other
as well as the lawful faction later on
2.Lawful faction opposing the unlawful factions

3. The idea would be a ship full of stolen credit cards. I would load them onto a ship and the idea would be that I stole them from one of the unlawful factions after learning the location of the stash ( one of the unlawful factions bases ) and how the stash came to be ( ie: drug money, contract killing payments etc ) and decided to take my chances and hope that i could get away with the ill gotten money.

I would flee the area into or near territory of the rival unlawful faction where i would be stopped by the second faction after having sustained heavy damage from escaping with the cards and not able to flee anymore. The first faction having given chase would eventually catch up and a fight would break out between the two groups over the cargo, whoever the victor of this confrontation is, would then escort my vessel to a secondary base but on the way would be confronted by a superior Lawful faction battlegroup conducting training exercises whom discovered the previous confrontation via a training satellite and sent its battlegroup to investigate ( secondary base would need to be near the lawful faction territory or near enough so the idea fits).

Another confrontation would then break out between the victor of the first fight and the lawful group ( the lawful group having superior numbers and equipment ) the unlawful faction would then break contact and flee to regroup after a short battle. The Lawful group would then escort my ship heavily damaged through a long supposedly unknown route back to base.

But however, given the outcome of the first two encounters the two unlawful factions would have transmitted for help from there own battlegroups and could pick a point along the travel route to ambush the lawful faction after obtaining the flight path from their own spies and try to wrestle my ship and its cargo from the lawfuls, so a final 3 way battle between battlegroups would take place with the victor then claiming my ship and its cargo as its prize after escorting it home.



So.......What ya think thus far people??

yes and no, here is why

It would be more focused around assigned groups and routes not random officers or whoever decided to intervene, also it would be a much larger sum and a ship included.

There would also be no-one offering anything to anyone to track it down, it would simply be one faction trying to regain what is "theirs" and the other trying to keep it for themselves but with the lawfuls intervening and trying to deprive both factions of ill gotten gains.

There will be no allies of said faction of whom they were stolen from trying to track them down it will be the faction itself trying to reclaim the goods and a semi-nearby lawful faction.

This is based around fighter wings to begin with then battlegroups for the finale

So basically like the Artifact interception? Ok. Because that's what it sounds like.

Again yes and no, as i would not be part of any of the groupings I would be a solo ship and also it would not be a convoy it would be my ONE ship that shall not be attacked due to precious cargo, with the groups contesting for ownership and another thing is that there would not be random ships just deciding to join it would be structured groupings with 2 fights taking place and a final 3 way battle to determine overall winner.

The bonus to winning the first fight is that you will have the option in the second fight to break contact of some of your ships and send them to your battlegroup to join them thus making the battlegroup stronger for the final fight as well as leaving some behind to entertain the opposing side long enough for the others to break contact and while they flee try to inflict as much damage as possible on the lawfuls battlegroup before the final battle.Or alternatively they can keep all ships and inflict more damage on lawful battlegroup but thus making their final battle chances weaker due to damage and losses.

The loser of the first fight will not have the above option as all ships would have been destroyed. Therefore leaving them only with the already determined battlegroup.
