For Some reason I feel like this deserves it's own thread.

The initial game was posted in the marauder rebalance threadnaught.

Quote:

Since the mass increase for bastion mode deployment has been removed, it's time for a fun new EVE pasttime.

You can also turn it into a contest.

This is the game:

You'll need:

  • One deployed marauder in bastion mode per team participating
  • One random canister 100km away (or any other fun distance)
  • And at least one (preferrably) well tanked bumping ship per team.


    • The goal:

    Bump the marauder of your team as close as possible to the canister before...

    A) an arbitrary timer runs out (for e.g. 30 seconds)
    B) the bumping ship gets destroyed by the other teams marauders before the bumping timer runs out.

    The rules:

    The teams can either start bumping all at once (the great melee) or take turns (the gauntlet).

  • During he great melee bumpers are allowed to shoot the other teams bumpers as long as the timer is on.
  • During the gauntlet only one bumper per timer may be deployed all already deployed marauders may shoot the active bumper as long as the timer is on.
  • The deployed marauders may never killed.
    • --> You can however bump them away from the target zone. Blink

    Who won? Or how many points do I get for doing all that crap?

  • The team who's marauder is closest to the can is rewarded with 10 points.
  • The second gets 5 points
  • And the third gets 3 points
  • The 4th and all therafter receive no additional points


    • Now the fun part (mo' points fo' mo' killz)

  • Destroying a Pirate ship bumber awards 3 points to the team who got the killmail
  • Destroning A T2 ship bumber awards 2 points to the team who got the killmail
  • Destroying a T1 shup bumber awards 1 points to the team who got the killmail
  • The team who "accidentally" destroyed one of the deployed marauders looses 4 points
  • The team who lost a deployed marauder gets 2 points (Note: you can self destruct your own marauder to award your team 2 points)


    • Addendum: Destroying your own teams bumper ship awards your team 1 point and 2 points to all the other teams.

    What now?

    You can play as many rounds as you like or until you run out of ships. Have fun! Big smile

    EDIT: The Name suggestion of Ralph King-Griffin sounds cool. "Bumping Uglies" whoever got another cool suggestion on how to call the game, just post it I'll try to get them all into this post. Lol

    Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

    Fighting back is more fun than not.

    Have fun, playing (once the marauder rebalance is done) and post any new fun game ideas.

    Should the bastion indeed make the marauders unbumpable... Well, use any other super heavy mass ship you like, brick tank it like a mad man and have fun. Blink

    This seems like a clever ploy to have marauders destroyed...

    I feel elevated. Cool

    Yup, that was my initial plan. Big smile

    Don't try to make bumping into a game dammit.

    Bumping ships is serious business.


    Nothing says I LOVE YOU like taking a 100mN MWD Talos going 8k m/s and nuzzling your targe..ahem..vict....ahhhem...snugglebunny with it.

    Turning freighter/miner ganking foreplay into a game just seems to take away from the whole experience.

    Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

    That would indeed be a sorely missed opportunity.

    And I might most certainly grieve over it (intensely) once that is confirmed.

    Did you notice that some people in the marauder thread are getting quite obsessive on how "totaly useless" they'll be after the patch.

    ... Frankly some of them are starting to scare me a little. Shocked

    I'd rather just get a few guys and neut the Marauder to crap while we shoot it.
