EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Hey everyone, one more thread of information for our competitors in the New Eden Open II starting tomorrow!

Firstly, I want to let everyone know that we are using the ingame channel "NEO II Tournament" to coordinate with captains during the competition days. Please make sure that a representative of your team is in the channel 45 minutes before your match begins so we can get you ready and start banning.

Secondly, I want to clarify that the following line from the rules:
Dropping cargo containers or other anchorable items is NOT allowed. Dropping regular jettison containers is allowed.
DOES apply to Mobile Structures. This means that all Mobile Structures (including the Mobile Depot and the Mobile Micro Jump Unit) are NOT allowed in the NEO II.

Another important update, this time regarding a bug with the Crucifier bonuses and tracking disruptor scripts that will not be fixed until after this weekend:

Currently there is a defect that causes the Crucifier to apply a 10% bonus per level to Tracking Disruptor optimal range and falloff disruption, rather than the correct 7.5% per level. This only affects the range disruption effects, not the tracking disruption.

There is also a defect that causes tracking disruptor scripts to not affect the falloff disruption values of Tracking Disruptor modules. This means that a Tracking Disruptor will always reduce target falloff by the same amount no matter what script is loaded.

The fix for these bugs will not be ready to apply to TQ until Monday, but we have decided not to change the rules regarding Crucifiers or Tracking Disruptors for the NEO II final weekend. We just want to make sure that every team is aware of these bugs so that they can adjust their tactics and setup choices for the final weekend appropriately.
