Alliance vs Coalition

[Denier-of-Soup]

Actually, I was planning to schedule the fight in sector A1 of the map (which is quite far from any base in the system). The only way they can respawn reach the battle before it's over is by using a speed mod.

I may have missed it if it was already posted, but what system is the battle planned to take place in? Another option would be to allow anyone who's battleship get destroyed to join with a fighter account if they have one. That way those that get knocked out early can try to make an impact on the rest of the fight. If that's not allowed i still plan on rejoining with a fighter account to fly out and watch.

The fight takes place in the system we're invading. Since we can only attack systems connected to the ones we already own (Omicron Alpha), the first battle will take place in Theta.

In that case, why not hold it in the clear area north or south from the freeport base? It has good visibility and would allow people to launch fighters from the base to either participate or observe after thier battleship dies?


On the theme of battleships dying... what are the chances we're going to be blowing very expensive turrets off our ships? Nanobots only repair hull, increasing the likelyhood of a turret reaching it's critical damage. Not that this doesn't sound like a fun event and all, but i really don't have 60 million to throw away at 6 new turrets...


Last point, what's the stance on letting neutrals watch? I know a couple traders that would probably like to fly out to Omni Theta and park on the sidelines to see the fireworks. As long as we all have our tags in place it should be OK for themt o come watch as long as they don't fire shots.

Honestly let's hold it about 5k away from freeport base.....

aka us pirates move to a nearby base in the system and attack. That way fighters don't die in .2 seconds and go "lame!" Both sides' fighters can respawn at the base that way. Otherwise fighters aren't worth taking to the battle (see previous post).

How would we attack the system otherwise? ok we attack J12. What's in J12...... nothing. Why are we attacking there?

It's times like these where I wish I had lots more money than I do currently. I could wast it all spiffing up a character just for this... but alas, I am but a simple merchant in a Humpback. Maybe when I have like 500 mil, i'll consider joining up. Not now.

Sounds like fun though. I wish the Alliance luck.

Why do you need so much if battleships cost no more than 70 mil?

I don't advise spectating because it will increase lag.

[Wrath]

Thanks for the namechanges Igiss!

as I posted before, you can snatch 26 million off traitor to pay for my rheinland battleship difference, I already tossed the kusari one.

[Denier-of-Soup]

Has Igiss already changed the names? I was wondering whether he could change my rep to neutral with the three factions in the Omicron systems. That way I will also be able to fight near the base. =/

You gotta earn that reputation, I used bribes to fix Fury.... though I wish I had factioned him first. Chimera has exellent factions through work. But if he's getting a free ride, I think others would want one too!
