I have read, and agree with the rules of this event.
------------------------
<If you wish to be considered for sign up you should include ALL this info in your post. including and especially "I have read, and agree with the rules of this event." >



[Event rules and details follow:]


This will be a ladder event, original concept by Tael.


This is a Grand Tournament consisting of 16 members fighting their way up the ladder to the top, A player will start in a small "Frigate" class ship and work their way up through each opposing member ultimately to the Dreadnought class... Then the final battle, Dread Verses Dread winner takes the grand prize of 1000 Prestige, 1 Month of free playtime, and a rare enhancement(~). There will also be smaller consolation prizes for the ones who make it to the final rounds.(~1)...

    -----Rules:-----


  • Ships Permitted:
    -ICC-
    Frigate Class - All Frigate Ships.
    Destroyer Class - Missile or Combat Destroyer
    Cruiser Class - Missile or Heavy Cruiser
    Dreadnought Class - Combat Dread...

    -UGTO-
    Frigate Class - All Frigate Ships.
    Destroyer Class - Gunboat or Picket Destroyer
    Cruiser Class - Battle or Missile Cruiser
    Dreadnought Class - Fleet Carrier or Agincourt Carrier...

    -K'Luth-
    Frigate Class - All Frigate Ships.
    Destroyer Class - Stinger or Shell Destroyer
    Cruiser Class - Parasite or Scarab Cruiser
    Dreadnought Class - Ganglia...

    Permitted ships subject to change before event is posted...


  • - The Tournament will consist of 16 players facing off 1 on 1 to the death...(*) Each player will face an even ship(*1) rising up the tier until only 1 remains.

  • - The ladder of ships will contain Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, and the final tier Dreadnoughts.

  • - There will be a grand prize of 1000 Prestige, 1 Month of free playtime, and a rare enhancement(~) and smaller consolation prizes for the final and semi-final contestants( Loser of the Dreadnought match gets the 2nd place prize: 250 prestige, 14 days playtime, 1 enhancement(~); Losers of the Cruiser matches get the 3rd/4th place prize: 100 prestige, 7 days playtime(~) Winners of course get to move on to the next round). - There will also be a Bonus Prize for any captured ship ( 2 Ship Capture points will be added to your release profile for any round won by capture.. )

  • - The matches will take place over a period of two days, each ladder of 8 will battle though per day and the final match will take place on the 2nd day.

  • - Only sign up if you have sufficient rank for all ships. >Admiral (*2)

  • - Each match will be of opposing factions.(*3)

  • - No ships may have enhancements attached, enhanced ships will be disqualified.

  • - The event WILL be held in DarkSpace's Beta Server ( pluto.darkspace.net ).. You can go to the beta homepage and click the "Beta Profile Transfer" Link below the RoC and Dev Log links. This will copy your rank from your release account to beta so you can fly the same ships.(*4)... Your release profile and prestige will remain unaffected. Also, make sure you have Beta installed, and updated, this can be a lengthy process for some so, the sooner the better.

  • - Interference is not allowed... Any ship to interfere may be subject to a kick by any local moderator watching the tournament.(*5)...

  • - Point Jumping is permitted within your opponents sensor range, roughly 3-4k GUs more than 5,000 GU is a disqualify-able Jump and is considered a Forfeit, - SubLight Cannot be used to excede the 5000GU limit it is the same as jumping out and considered a forfeit...

  • - When you sign up you will be assigned a faction, you may leave a preferred faction, however you are not guaranteed to get it.

  • - If you capture your opponent it is considered a technical knock out and you will advance to the next round, so don't forget your elite infantry!

    - As a side note if you Self Destruct to kill your opponent and you are successful it is counted as a win and you will move on to the next round.

    - If you capture your opponent, 2 points will be added to your "ships captured" field of your release profile as a consolation prize for a TKO!



    -----Notes:-----


    (
    ~1 - Loser of the Dreadnought match gets the 2nd place prize: 250 prestige, 14 days playtime, 1 enhancement(~); Losers of the Cruiser matches get the 3rd/4th place prize: 100 prestige, 7 days playtime(~) Winners of course get to move on to the next round.)

    (
    ~ - Prizes HAVE changed. Have received admin approval.)

  • Notes Regarding Ships Permitted:
    After testing over the past few days I found a weakness in ICC shields, the weakness is most present in ICC Dreadnoughts. Thus I have lowered the class of the UGTO and K'Luth ships, for the Dreadnoughts, to Sub-Combat... This may change pending farther testing with ICC shielding, or any updates.

  • (*: -More or less depending on sign ups...)

  • (*1: -Each ship vs ship battle will be two ships the of same class (assault classes are forbidden unless both players agree to an assault match up...)

  • (*2: -Admiral is the rank required for combat and sub-combat classes dreadnoughts, if you are a Vice Admiral, you may be assigned UGTO with the either the Fleet or Agincourt Carrier Dreads, if a slot in UGTO is unavailable, you may not be able to join unfortunately...)

  • (*3: -Any member may be asked to change faction depending on the lineup...)

  • (*4: -Ship layouts, in beta, have been altered from their release versions, they should be just as balanced if not more... )

  • (*5: -There is no guarantee that any moderator will be present at all...)


Tournament Ladder:



Altered to match any rule changes in the official post.

Just a Question..
What do you propose when player is winning but the next ship class is unavalable to him because of his rank limit?

Good question, Unfortunatly you must be at least an Admiral to join, we had this problem with planning that's why it's dreadnought instead of the original idea for stations being the top.
I'll add a note to the original post

I've been working on this for a while, talking with various staff about the problems, these decisions have been made, at least the rank required won't be Fleet Admiral...
if your sub is an issue the event MAY be set up in a beta server, this is just an idea that Drafell had to run an event server for this event to prevent AI from interupting, and not to mention it doesn't require a sub but like I said this is only a possibility and will require Faustus' permission, witch we have not yet obtained afaik

I doubt that will happen, in all honesty. Unless, of course, you went in and afterwards everyone was to stress test like mad or something.

If it wasn't a possibility I would not have mentioned it... Just wait and see.

Workin on that I have submitted my ideas to an admin here they are


Prize ideas:

(Winner of the Final "Dreadnought" Match)

Grand Prize: 1000 prestige, 14 days Playtime, and choice of 2 enhancements.

(Loser of the Final "Dreadnought" Match)

Tournament Finals Consolation Prize (1): 250 prestige, 7 days playtime, 1 choice of an enhancement.

(Losers of the Semi-Final "Cruiser" Matches)

Tournament Semi-Finals Consolation Prizes (2): 100 prestige, 3 days playtime.


also suggesting larger prestige amounts if the tournament is held in beta in an event server just because no one will gain anything from the fights themselves

I would get in, but then I'd have to delete far too many enhanced ships. This is just throwing away too much time spent getting them.

I like the idea of running it in beta tho. Then I wouldn't have to delete a ship. If it goes to the beta server count me in.

If in the MV, count me out.

Well, second thought, I guess I could delete just 1 ship and switch to the next class. But I have blue enhancements on every ship I have, and I still don't wanna get rid of any.

It's the price you pay for farming enhancements....
I mean every ship? and I assume you have 8 blues on each ship, that's 64 elite buggers you've farmed... and that's not even counting how many duds were possible.
