Dundee - A New Front

[Thunderer]

As the title says, I am making an event in the system of Dundee. Some guys said Leeds creates FPS lag, while almost all guys, including girls as well, told me Leeds is getting boring.

Dundee is awesome. Not as big as Newcastle, nor as full of asteroids as Dublin. Chester would also be nice, but I doubt the Gauls know how to reach it. So:

Event RP:

Pew.

Well, actually, there is a bit more. Namely, the Gauls are sick of all those numerous defeats in Leeds. And of all the smog, of course. Gallic ships don't have windshield wipers. Logically, they decided to attack another system, which is now Dundee.

Why is Dundee important?

Firstly, it is smog-free. Secondly, it has a jump hole leading to Newcastle. However, Newcastle has much greater value. It also leads to Leeds, what is the main source of it's value. If the Gauls invade Newcastle from Tau 31 and Dundee at the same time, it might fall. If they invade Leeds from Newcastle and Edinburgh at the same time, under the condition that they put those windshield wipers before, Leeds might fall. Basically, there will be a lot of pew.

Scenario:

This is an INDIE ONLY CAP EVENT (yay!). On the Gallic side, we will need 4 battleships and 2 cruisers. On the Bretonian side, there should be 3 battleshrimps and 2 destroyers. The Gallic force should be a bit greater because they're attacking. Weather there will really be more battleships than cruisers, it is up to your wishes. I can easily flip the numbers.
The Bretonians will sit close to Edinburgh jump hole, defending it. However, they will be too far to shoot at poor Valors before they make a formation. 10k away from the hole would be nice. When the Gauls form, they will head towards Newcastle jump hole, which is in F5, if wiki is not lying. The Bretonians' job is to prevent them from reaching it. Actually, to prevent them from even reaching the asteroid field. I'd like the fight to have as few lag as possible.
Also, there should be a fighter with a Reinforced Cruise Disruptor on the Bretonian side. We don't want those frogs to just cruise towards that bloody hole if we lose our dessies, right? The fighter shouldn't risk its life to shoot at the big Gallic capitals, but it should only stay at distance and CD anybody who tries to cruise.

Composition:

Gauls:
- Battleship - RNS-Overlord (Knjaz);
- Battleship -
- Battleship -
- Battleship -
- Cruiser - RNS-Circaete (Reptile);
- Cruiser -

Bretonians:
- Battleship - BRF|HMS-Thunderer (Debeli_Boda);
- Battleship - HMS-Iron.Duke (Ninefour);
- Battleship -
- Destroyer - HMS-Charger (Jim.Solo, he can also bring HMS-Furious, a BS, if needed);
- Destroyer - 23rd|Cunningham (jammi);
- Fighter - BAF|Mike.Havering (Xelon).

I propose the event to start at 18:00 (6pm) by GMT time, this Saturday, the 24th of November. If you don't agree with the time, please tell me. If the event fails for that date, it will be set to the next weekend. If I don't come, somebody else should control/balance/supervise the event. I will choose who.

RULES:

- General server rules apply;
- Forbidden station hugging;
- Any RP that doesn't only insult a player's character, but the player, as well, will be frowned upon. Don't troll, keep it relaxed and try to have fun;
- Breaking off, cruising towards the nearest station and resupplying is not allowed;
- Just cloaking and cruising to the hole wouldn't be fun. Don't do it;
- Don't shoot at your own forces;
- Agree who's the commander and start the event only when the other side is ready;
- If you will participate in the event, please vote against the usage of cloaks, or for it;
- If I forgot something, please tell me what;
- Who needs more rules?

Since there're special pre-set rules about distance from the hole BAF takes, etc, what about the use of cloaks to eliminate the opposing force (not to reach jumphole), on both sides?

Cause, from my experience, it won't look like GRN fleet is moving towards the Hole while getting into occasional pewpew with Brets. It'll be an all-out fight, with the winner doing whatever he wants.

Also, if I understood correctly, Gauls can substitue one of their battleships with additional cruiser? Since they're really vulnerable in this department, putting 2 relatively weakest 120k'ers vs 2 relatively strongest 120k'ers. And once gallic cruisers are dead, it'll be all over.

[Thunderer]

all-out fight

Exactly what I want. So, as fewer cloaking, the better. We don't want the Gauls to just cloak and cruise towards the hole. That wouldn't be fun. However, using cloaks to kill the opponent is allowed (edit: because some participants don't agree, I've put a poll for voting weather it is, or it is not).

Gonna put another rule that forbids cloaking and cruising towards the hole. Thank you for reminding me!

Also, if I understood correctly, Gauls can substitue one of their battleships with additional cruiser?

Yes, the composition of both fleets can be changed, if there is a need. It is only important that both are composed of a mixture of caps (excluding that Bretonian fighter).

I'm up for it

I can bring a Dessie or a Shrimp.

What's this about cloaks? :dodgy:

We don't want cloaks, this is a good old fashioned Cap' battle isn't it?

Gonna add you, I just need your ship's name.

So, about the cloaks - vote. Everybody who will participate is needed to vote. I'd also like an old fashioned fight, but we must think about the Gallic players, as well.

Shouldn't Bretonia be using mainly destroyers? Destroyer hunting packs are more lore friendly than valuable Dunkirks. I'll probably be there with the 23rd¦Cunningham (destroyer).

No cloaks - no tactics.
If you dont want use cloaks in fight - this is mean,that you dont like some kind of strategy.
I have proposition to remove all guns from ships,then we will fight.Why not?

This is kinda "not use missiles" or "not use forward gun".Or fight without shields,because its regens.
im against it.

Open all weapons and equip which is in game.

P.S.Open fighter\bomber wings.at min for 5 ships.

If you NEED to use a cloak vote yes, and don't participate if this event doesn't support it, no need to Q_Q it's just an event.

And for the rest Thunderer made it pretty clear that it should be a Cap battle, exept for that one Snub.

I'll join in my Templar for the fighter roll.

Not sure about that, balance wise. A BretDestroyer can live for quite some time under the fire of 1 valor, 1 cruiser, 2 bombers. hell, this thing can partially evade Secondaries from 950 metres.

And yes, most of the Valors out there have no chaince against TSing dunkirks. I can take a pro Dunkirk in a Connecticut non-cruise duel, but that won't work well in fleet combat.

Well, at least it'll be a good balance test, if Dunkirks will be good ones (and with HMS-Iron.Duke, there's already 1 pro Dunkirk)
Write me in, RNS-Overlord , Valor.
