EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Hello everyone!


Some of us are lucky enough to know that great feeling of coming back from a roam and warping to your home station in a battered structure damaged ship with burnt mods after an amazing fight. The type of fight that stays in your memory and can reflect on and think, damn that was one of the best fights I've had, I wish that type of engagement would happen more often!

Up until now they are rare and unless you are participating in any of the tourneys or tourney practices, the ability to take part in a balanced scenario where amazing engagements can take place are in my opinion way too few and far between.

Even the tournaments and current match setups are either once a month/year and allow for a very small percentage of players to be able to participate.

There are multiple motivations and inspirations behind this project.

1. To create structured competitive pvp that can take place 24/7

2. An environment where pilots of all skill levels can continuously get the chance to fly against and learn from others.

3. A place to continuously hone your skills in solo / small gang / and bigger fleet fight engagements with footage of fights to reflect, debrief and learn from.

4. A platform which is continuously generating content both in the arena for pilots to fly in, and on stream where viewers can tune in and watch.

5. Promoting EVE. Continuous streaming of great fights with commentary on twitch.tv will allow people that have never played EVE to get a viewing experience that displays why the pvp in this game is so amazingly dynamic and unique and will attract new capsuleers and generate new subscriptions.

6. Last but not least. A place where you can have a lot of fun and experiment with fits, fleet compositions, learn new things, meet new people, make new friends and have unforgettable experiences!

What I am introducing is a match making setup where everyone and anyone who is willing can get together with other pilots and get into a organized fleet fight and get to experience what proper pvp is all about!

For now, I will be keeping things reasonably simple.

1. Same hull class.

2. You can use any type of modules, e-war, faction.

3. Any implants and all drugs.

As this will be a work in progress (as all things are) and we will be developing new ideas and adding features I would like to add that links will also be included at a later stage.

This brings me to my next point which is balance and regulation. In order to make sure these fleet fights are equal in core setups and to ensure links are not being added to engagements, 2 alt accounts will be in both fleets to insure no bonuses are applied to either fleets.

These 2 accounts will be the bonus ships in a later stage that will be giving both fleets equal bonuses.

There are a number of different areas of EVE I would like to host these match fights and we will have to base them on experience to see which ones work best.

Keep in mind that only the people engaged in the fight will be made aware of the locations that these fights will take place.

The options we have are:

1. High sec making use of the duel invite system.

2. quiet areas of low sec.

3. Wormhole space.

4. The Thera wormhole system.

5. The singularity test server SiSi.

6. Null sec. I have been talking to leaderships of different alliances to provide pockets of their sovereignty perhaps even with protection fleets to ensure the fights go down as intended and without interference. (This could generate a whole different class of content.)

7. Jove space. I have not made personal contact with CCP but as this project grows and generates subscriptions the sky is the limit.

I have created an ingame channel called "EVE DeathMatch". Here people can challenge others to fights and negotiate times and further structure the engagements.

The forums can also be used to make challenges.

A website is in the making and further infrastructure is in the works. We are looking for extra people that are willing to help make this all possible so let yourself be heard.

Get ready for a new era in EVE.

Hello fellow honorable 1v1 pvpers


nice stuff tho

I like the cut of your jib.

To promote this idea I will form 21 yogic icelandic flyers and get them to meditate on this idea in the hopes that it will manifest into reality.

+1

sounds good.

a solution from CCP would be cool tho, smth like a pocket gate with ability to set wich ships may got thru or smth.

Passworded systems on an independent server would work well for this.

Deja Vous.
