With Battleships costing that many points I probably do not see them being used at all Cry

Actually, it's a reskin of the Opux Luxury Yacht, of which there are very few in the game-- maybe even only one? So this is, in fact, an excellent use of resources that would otherwise go to waste.

Admittedly, I'd still love more clearly civilian/non-military assets for player and NPC use, like packet ships, colliers, hospital ships, etc.

So I realize the carnage is going to be awesome to see in person, but what about those of us at fanfest that will have limited access to computers while screaming for our team to win. Are we going to be considered "active" players somehow ?

If Camel should lose, they will never live it down. They would probably disband, never to do small gang PVP again, and in a year someone will do a "Camel Empire PVPers a Year Later: Where are they now??" and we will see them renting space from HERO. and running mining ops with warp core stabilizers fitted to their ships.

Is it possible to add to the Tournament UI something that shows the amount of time dilation if it comes into effect?

I think "active" means an active subscription on your EVE Account

To be clear, active doesn't mean you need to be logged on. Anyone who is subscribed or plexed is considered an "active player". Basically if you are allowed to log on to EVE today, you're "active".

The rules look good and it seems like a good format.

Hope the fans bite, and it becomes more of a "thing".

I like that each team gets to throw away two of the other teams possible setups. I myself have experianced asian pvp in games, it's usually either horribly abusing game mechanics and glitches /or/ being as cheap as possible. As in ECM EVERYTHING! A lot more so than others I'm assuming because they are more commonly hardcore gamers.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

I still don't get the reason for excluding t2 drones. Are you guys trying to remove the drone meta compeltely? For certain nships, T1 drones are esentially like T1 turrets for those ships.

So if your just trying to remove the drone meta, please say so.

there are 3/4.

Entity has one (i believe)
Caitlyn Rose has one
Her husband i believe has one (hence the 3/4)
and one is part of a site you can;t take.

One team sounds too simple to be fun. Can't we invite top 3 teams from both servers? So that people from the side which lost later on won't blame the only representative team, therefore less pressure on the participants.

In the worst scenario, if the serenity team lost and the whole serenity community blame the players who made them "losing face", one player under pressure(especially the one who made critical mistake) may commit suicide, or at least delete account and quite EVE. This would not be what we want to see.

edit: removed one match stuff, there can be 5 matches(Best-of-five)

Not sure if I would want to play this match (if I was good enough). I mean, what would the rest of the server do to me if I lost?

Is this in anyway different than the yacht that got stolen by a player mid event?
