EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Hey guys

So as announced during Alliance Tournament XIII, the Amarr championships are going to happen. The Amarr championships are part of the Succession Trials used to select the new emperor of the Amarr Empire from one of the heirs of the royal houses of Amarr. We'll be announcing more details in the weeks to come once the Alliance Tournament has concluded (including things like rules and how to register), but here are the important things you need to know right now:

• The finals will be taking place at Fanfest 2016, so you need to be able to travel to Iceland. That means you need a passport. If you are selected to participate in the finals, we'll be flying you over. This also includes accommodation and entry to Fanfest.
• Only Amarr ships will be permitted in the tournament. More specifically, only ships that require an Amarr ships skill, and no other kind of racial ship skill will be permitted. This means all T2 Amarr ships will be allowed (including Khanid), but Sansha, SOE, and Blood Raider ships will not be permitted.
• You will need to have unmodified standings of at least +0.5 with the Amarr Empire to participate (while agents may be placated by your carefully crafted platitudes, heirs are much too savvy to be swayed by sweet talking).
• Your character's race does not need to be Amarrian to be able to participate.

Additionally, before anyone asks: you may not nominate an heir of your choice to be additionally considered in the succession trials.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

How do we register to compete and how will the selection of participants (I imagine far more will want to compete than can compete) happen?

We'll be announcing those details at a later date, likely soon after the conclusion of the Alliance Tournament.

Before this gets too crazy, we should clarify that the Heirs are set. The champions will be chosen by them, we wont be able to say who we are wanting to be the heir we are fighting for. No heir for Max, for example.

What class of ships will it be in?

cruisers?

So, this is how the Auctoritas will enter Eve? As a prize ship?

Nice to see CCP continuing to develop Eve along multiple fronts - storyline as well as adjustments to Null Sec.

No ingame limited Imperial Issue ships as prize are needed... taking part is a reward in itself

At this stage, all Amarrian ships eligible to participate in the Alliance Tournament. This is not final though.

Other prizes will be announced at a later date.

Towards the Amarr Empire faction.

Isn't it a bit soon to call for a new head of state? The Empress (as a capsuleer) should just step out of her medical bay in her new body, shouldn't she?



Unless there have been many changes, there should currently be five heirs, that represent the five ruling families. They Ardishapur Family, the Kador Family, the Sarum Family, the Kor-Azor Family and the Tash-Murkon Family.

Hope that helps.
