Fleet Tournament Interest Check

[Jorus Merrill]

So for a while now I've wanted to run a fleet battle tournament. Priorities:

1 - Equal, preset loadouts created by me. Skill against skill, not tech against tech. It's like that no-Force, simple-sword-only tournament we ran a couple years ago. That was a good one.

2 - Accessible for relatively new fleet combat writers. Think you can take down today's big names on a level playing field? I'm curious too.

3 - Simple mapping, complex battlefield. Asteroids, space stations, that kind of thing. I'd set all that up.

4 - I'm thinking an ultra-realistic IC simulation tournament; participate anonymously or not as you see fit.

5 - No complex systems/rules unless both parties agree.

6 - 1v1 or 2v2 options.

Anyone interested?

[Sko'saht]

Sign me up, I'd love to to try out some new tactics for space battle.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Last time you tried this, you put me in a 3-way fight and both other writers bailed after my... What? Second post?

I may join in as one alt or another. Depends on if I'm swamped at work when it starts.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Fantastic idea, I'll watch with interest.

 

[Soeht]

I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE

 

[William Kerkov Sr]

Can caskets command? If so, then I'd be more than happy to join.

 

[Rick Kaloo]

I'll join, likely more active after the Hoth invasion

Sure, no reason it couldn't be set before Kerkov karked off.

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Never done fleeting with any character so what should I know to be able to do this?

Know your ships and your enemy's ships. Don't call hits (specifying the damage you dish out). Take hits and plenty of'em. Don't waste your time trying to kill the hardest target around while everything else shreds you. Don't be intimidated by big reputations/titles. Oh, and read this: http://starwarsrp.net/blog/107/entry-2227-brief-intro-to-weaponsensor-range/

Beyond that, it's just a matter of practice.

 

[Maira Varan]

I'd like to try! Total nooblet but practice should help

 

[Fiolette Fortan]

Excellent, I'll see if I have to join in with this character or an alt.

 

[Zeradias Mant]

I'm in, time permitting.

 

[Jorus Merrill]

OK, folks, I'm going to try kicking off some of this over the next day or two to keep momentum.

 

[Cyrus Tregessar]

Dibs on [member="Aedan Miles"]

But I'll be rolling with an alt, most-like.
