All in all we hope that this will make an interesting twist to the existing tournament scene, and cement the New Eden Open into place as a fun opportunity for teams.

Tournament changed to March rather than Febuary?

Could you please confirm whether this is the case since it affects the availability of pilots

sad to see the removal of shield tinker setups :(
so marauders are the new flagships minus the faction mods
any chance of removing drone assist mechanic either just for the tourney or on TQ permanently?

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Nerf web strength, Make the blaster Eagle worth using

Important rule changes to note:

No energy transfers
One marauder loss per team for the whole tournament
Up to two support frigates allowed as an option instead of a normal logi or support cruiser
Several significant point changes, especially to Marauders and Stealth Bombers

All decisions were made to create the most interesting environment for 8 person teams, since breaking strong tanks is tougher with fewer players.

It's also worth noting that this tournament will take place after a Rubicon point release which will involve some balance changes to be announced in the coming weeks.

Removal of drone assist? Hell hasn't frozen over yet.

Good changes though, the logi frigates may actually make a showing.

Yaay!!!!

Can we please get the bastion module restricted too?


Otherwise I expect the fights look similar to this:

2 Marauders sitting at the center beacon, doing whatever they want thanks to ewar immunity, while the rest of the ships fighting over winning on points. Because no team can expect to break the hostile 4k DPS self tank marauder in the middle Ugh

Only one marauder is allowed per team if I read correctly. Also, teams can only lose one marauder during the entire tournament.

From Match Rules:
Quote:
Fights are limited to 10 minutes. If a fight reaches time, it will be stopped and whichever team has the higher total points value will be declared winner. See "Victory Conditions", below.


From Victory Condition:
Quote:
If a fight is tied after 10 minutes, time dilation will be used to progressively speed up the tournament solar system and encourage a prompt end to the match.


I'm assuming the latter is correct. Best to fix it as we have many rules lawyers. Nevermind, I am dumb.

Both are correct. If a team has a points lead, they will win automagically at the end of the timer. If they are even in points, the match continues with TD.

I need a confirmation for this:

still 12 player allowed.
12 player = 12 character.
1player can have endless characters in a team up to the limit of 12.

thank you.

That is correct. You can have a maximum of 12 characters on a team. Your team can include more than one character owned by the same real life person if you wish.

If a real life person owns multiple characters on a team they get multiple shares of the prize, as the prize will be split per character.
