Battle of Atka, GMT+10 22:00 October 21st

[Zavier]

Hmmm, so you will be Cryer alligned Mercenary tagged pilots flying Outcast ships? :dry:

Also, it's always a good idea to announce your faction in a message thread and get feedback before posting an Official Faction post, message dump or recruitment thread.

Could you at least fill Fellow Hoodlum in on details? Thanks.:)

Well, I hope to phase out the Sabres sometime in the next mod, and hopefully the OC Dessies will be destroyed in an RP so we have an excuse to get different cruisers. (AoR will NEVER have a Battleship. Ever. Fighters, gunships (for high-rankers), Cruisers (CO/XO) and bombs (mid-ranked) are all that the AoR will have.)

And there are only 5 OC vessels, I cleared it with Bulldog a while back on Skype, but I don't think he knows that we're using a combination of OC/Civ vessels...I think..Bulldog! We need to talk again..!

Yes Zapp_evn, its PM for GMT+4 to GMT+12. AM for everyone else.;)

I hate that this is going in this thread, essentially hijacking it, but it is not my place to start a thread discussing it.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, it shows some feasible originality, something which alot of new faction submissions seem to lack. I just don't like the idea of factions flying ships that don't fit the id or iff that they choose. But hey, Bulldog has waaaaaay more say on this than I ever will. In fact I have none, its just a suggestion to keep the community from coming down on you for your ship selection.

Anyway, let's put this topic back on subject.

Cheers

Zavier, the RP destruction of the vessels would solve any problems there, and a better storyline.
If more people did that, I'm sure there would be little complaint concerning 'stolen' ships. You can
only hijack the buggers once ... When they are gone, they are gone.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is common sense in operation, fits the RP story perfectly.
Have a good event, and the rest of Outcasts will be watching with interest, they hate to lose ships ...

Only problem with that is...When the AFS Tiraglaz and ACS Fausk are gone..What would we replace them with? Liberty would hardly sell us a pair of cruisers, most likely knowing our past history as Outcasts.

Anyway, this is probably the wrong thread for this discussion, so yeah...:mellow:


EDIT: just recieved word...GalEx want in, if one of them could post, that'd be great, but if they DO seriously want in, I'll be allowing one cruiser from the RoS and 2-3 fighters from the RoS in to even it up--Otherwise the AoR and Galex won't stand a chance against dreadnaughts.

As one of the 2 CEOs of Galactic Express, I can say that we will be supporting AoR with any available ships. You are working for Cryer, and we wil not forget or parent organization.

((Yes Hood I realise we are not a faction right n ow but I figure this would be a great way to help recruitment))

[Fellow Hoodlum]

Also Jack, I think you may find you havn't actually been invited yet, best ask first please. The event has
been set up for the BLS and the AoR only currently.
Or I'm sure there will be a few Outcasts queuing up to join in, just to even the odds up a little ...

Alright, I'll say this then..If the GalEx arrive, I shall ask that the battle be delayed while I contact the RoS to send the equal of the GalEx. Better? Or if no RoS, then maybe the 101st? (Yeah.AoR/Galex are very. very. dead.:P)

EDIT: Okay, I'll have to confer with Praetyre over this, but I'm hoping the first battle is between AoR and BLS only, because in my opinion, it'd be better RP for both sides (doesn't matter who wins/loses) if we do a sort of Campaign battle, say, three battles? AoR vs BLS only at the "Jump hole" stage, AoR vs BLS+one or two extra Outcasts at the "Straight" between the Jump hole and Atka, and if outcasts win, then they move to Atka where the AoR is reinforced with new ships/Pilots and GalEx, whereas the BLS is reinforced by several other Outcasts. Would that work better than just the one battle where every Cryer/Outcast and his mum, dad, and dog show up?

Alright, this is official. (As official as can be without Praetyre agreeing, anyway..)

The first battle will be on October 21st between the Alliance of Redemption and the Blue Lotus Syndicate at the Sigma-17 Jump hole.
If we have the time, we will also have a second battle the same day, in between Atka and the Jump hole, where the Alliance again fight the Syndicate, but the Syndicate are reinforced by two Outcasts (hopefully Epigoni.). If the Alliance are beaten again, they will retreat to Atka itself where GalEx ships will bewaiting. Again, the Syndicate will be reinforced by 1-2 Outcasts (Again, hopefully Epigoni fighters.)
