When? MONDAY, 21.10, 17 GMT Who? [LN], IMG|, CR| What? Roleplay + Pew Event around a boarding operation
Ingame Background:
The IMG doesn't want GRN to force them to open FP4 (Magellan), which they could by threatening the Taus assets that they hold hostage.
The Guild would rather strike a deal with Liberty to have them take it first and return it later. This is done covertly by secret diplomacy between IMG| and [LN], so that Gallia has no chance to retaliate against the IMG in the occupied territories because the IMG aided an enemy.
The Guild hopes to do their part (coverty) to allow for a speedy reconquista of Bretonia, perhaps even liberation of the Taus with the help of Liberty, while avoiding negative repercussions by Gallia.
FP4 is dockable to every party in the conflict. We do not want a situation in which GRN, Liberty and Bretonian vessels (or their allies which are all neutral to IMG) undock randomly from an IMG base. That makes no sense, will create dozens of complaints to IMG, FR5s, diplomatic mess, reports, sanctions and general lolwuttiness.
It happened a lot during the pre-rollback pews period and while it was fun then, it would harm a rp environment (and my nerves).
So a temporary IFF-change from IMG to LN is the consequence of what this roleplay should achieve and explain. The temporary IFF change has been irply and oorply agreed upon by Sarah and me, our HQs have agreed to it as well.
The Event:
[LN] sends a carrier group to take over the Freeport in Magellan. The group advances to the Freeport and will meet IMG| forces there. They will call for help, trying to reach the Curacao CR| wings. The forces will not know that this is a ruse (only the highest commanders know), and there will be tensions likely.
The rest is done in roleplay and will develop from there.
Setup and mission parameters of the groups are up to their respective leaders.
> IMG| + CR| will field snubs + transports/freighters only
> [LN] can field everything. Transports/Freighters will be needed for the boarding operation.
Special rules
There is no problem with shooting.
But this roleplay is not about winning pvp or losing it, as the outcome is pre-determined: the Freeport will be taken by the LN.
I would like to focus much more on the roleplay/conversation side of an ingame conflict.
Therefore:
> Capships announce their salvos, give orders, communicate a lot.
> Bombers do not force ships down, but warn each other to avoid the flaks, etc and allow damaged ships to withdraw.
> Evacuation transports would be treated as a transport with hundreds of innocents would be treated... not like normally "OMG! Easy blue! Keel!"
> We do not insta-snac transports or easy targets, but warn them and warn them again and talk and negotiate.
> ... you get the idea. If not, talk to your leader.
If you can remember the Freeport 1 event when we fixed the Freeport? A bit like that.
Admins
In the name of Sarah and myself, I request the Admin team to change the IFF of Freeport 4 to Liberty Navy after the event and when Gallia has been pushed out of Leeds, back to IMG.
Protection during the event would also be appreciated. Having an Admin close has always been beneficial, especially if it is not a pewpew event. Thank you very much in advance!
I like the whole RP idea behind that event and think it's just logical thing to do for the Guild; newly started Comm channel roleplay about it also is good.
Could indies also participate, at least in roleplay part?

Good point.
Can you look up where the other selling points are? That would be nice.
Traders are welcome (as part of the other "Fortify FP4 Event", but we do not want fightingships there.
This is not meant or planned as a pew-fest and allowing indies generally leads to confusion and pew-age.
