I am here to announce the creation of PartyFleet! PartyFleet will be a recurring ingame event whereby a group of players occupy one of the trade hub systems and provides a spectacular light show! The general idea is to fit up a variety of ships with modules that look pretty and shiny! Hopefully we can even find a way to include the general public in the show.

However, it is only an idea at the moment, so I need YOUR help in its design and formation!
We need organizers!
We need designers!
We need testers!
We need PERFORMERS!


Current ideas for PartyFleet attractions:

  • Rifter Ball
    • A group of 5-10 players in Rifters with MWDs. The plan is to have each member orbit one other member and let the MWD's trail do it's thing (lighting up the sky).
    Currently plans include 1 lead ship who starts the orbit chain and directs the ball around.

    Needs work on number of pilots, orbit range, and overall design.

  • Drone Shooters
    • Ever sit around bored and tried to shoot your own drones? That's what this attraction is all about, but with lasers!
    Get a ship. Fit lasers. Put drones in it. Undock. Release drones. Lock up drones. Shoot each one with a single laser.
    Brilliant, yea?

    Probably going to need a different name though.


  • Logi Star
    • Even been in a fleet where you had logistics cap chain? Sure you have, and if not here's your chance! Let's face it, logi beams are some pretty things.
    Let's have them form up in a star and cap chain each other.... FOR DECORATION!


    These of course are not the only things we could do in PartyFleet. I need some help planning the whole thing.

    Things to do:

    • Create new formations/sideshows.
    • Create a few fits for the show.
    • Plan color coordination (or lack thereof).
    • Find a way to advertise the event.
    • Possibly even create a YouTube/Soundcloud playlist for people to listen to during the show.


    How will we go about doing this?
    1. Recruit people to help!
    2. Design and record various sideshows and fleet logistics!
    3. Test, test, test, test, test (and tweak!)

    Testing can be done in SiSi or Tranquility (though SiSi would definitely be cheaper).

    If you are interested, please either reply to this post or join the ingame channel "PartyFleet" to provide input and assistance.


    So who wants to plan a Party?
