I am looking to start up a weekly Event called Mission Extravaganza. The Event it self will be to gather 10 pod pilots to do level 4 missions for a high quality agent in Highsec. The idea behind this is to give younger players a chance to run level 4 missions as well as create a fun PvE RP event.
I can solo level 4s so there is no need to find a tank. Because of the war I can only allow those with a 0.5+ Gallente standing to join. On top of bounty and mission pay out I will be giving a bonus amount of isk based on the amount of salvage and items gathered.
Number one goal is to have fun.
I am interested in what the community thinks of doing this RP Event before I start it up. If you're interested in such a thing please post here, EvE mail me or join Mecha Gen Channel in game.
On the RP side I will be adding a bit of sparkle to the Event by adding RP into the mix. The base of the RP will be in the presentation mostly but will also show in that we will have to keep coms as clear as possible and run a disciplined fleet. Although the goal is to have fun I don't want this to translate into voice coms becoming filled with stupid out of game talk that distracts from the mission running. I am looking to build a solid group of players to try and bust out as many missions as possible in a 4-8 hour time period.
Role playing Ad draft:
Mecha Enterprises of the Gallente Militia is calling for a fleet of Gallente Friendly corps and pod pilots to work for the FIO. With the war in full swing and the front lines drenched in blood and metal of our friends we will be defending the high sec systems that are, even with the best of efforts to prevent, being raided by Caldari, Amarr and pirate factions. With much of the Gallente forces now engaging on the front lines these raiding parties and the like must be stopped at all costs. The FIO is willing to pay well for your services.

Although I understand why you are doing this, I believe that running a lvl 4 mission in safe space with 10 pilots is likely to get boring quickly. Why not take a group on a lvl 5 mission? sure there is risk but how many "younger" pilots get to participate in (or even see) a lvl 5 mission? This will make it fun/challenging and force folks to think/act strategically.
Whatever you decide to do though, I wish you all the best of luck

I can see where your coming from. I might actually move it up to level 5s however since I myself have never ran a level 5, so I wouldn't be the best to lead them but depending on who is coming to the event I might move it up to a level 5 agent.
About the 10 people running level 4s getting boring I can understand that but in truth level 4s are mostly boring work anyway :). That and its more of a day of mission running. I don't need 10 guys I will just spend a 8 or so hour period running missions. I will be posting in the Event forums the day I am going to do it and every once and a while making a mention of it in local and anyone that wants to join can do so.
Already since I started this idea I have met up with different mission runners who can solo level 4s who don't mind making a fleet of a few guys to pound out some level 4s. Allot of people are just now getting to the point where they can run level 4s but not very well.
So what I am doing more or less is making a social event where players can come regardless of skill points and run level 4s and meet new people. Not only does it open lines of communication for me but for many younger players as well.
I know its very Carebear thing to want to help out younger players and to make mission running a bit more of a social event. But I think that something that EvE is lacking is the, meet random people by joining a party of random guys in a safe (read safer in EvE) NPC battles. Its not because the game prevents it, because it doesn't, but because that's just EvE. Well I am trying to make my own little change. FW has given us the PvP side to meet random people and make a fleet to go have fun. Why not have something similar to that via Events like this where more experience players take random younger or older players out to do NPC stuff.
Anyway at this point its still just an idea I have to work out allot of stuff still to make this happen.

This sounds like a lot of fun. I solo level 4 missions in a BS all the time but I would like to be able to play around with some other ships in a level 4 which I think this would give me a chance to do.
I'll contact you in game about joining the group. -----------------------------------------------
It's all fun and games ... |
