I'm looking for sponsors to pilot a Factional War event to take place somewhere in 'neutral' space (location yet to be decided).
The concept is to take 1 of every type of tech 1 ship of each faction fitted with only standard tech 1 modules which must take advantage of all ship bonuses - assign these to a fleet of each race.
For example:
The Gallente Fleet = 1 Atron (with minimum 1 hybrid turret) 1 Incursus (as above) 1 Navitas (No combat bonus - any fittings) 1 Maulus (with minimum Sensor Dampener) And so forth upto 1 Megathron and 1 Dominix.
The engagement starts initially with (a minimum of) 1 battleship from each fleet simutaneaously warping in to neutral coordinates given to only those battleship commanders. The remaining gang members are then free to join these battleships in a last man standing (no warp out) fight to determine for good an' all, which faction holds sway over EVE.
If you're anything like me, then you're sick and tired of reading posts about the balance of one races ships versus others...Now is your chance to prove your race is underestimated and you are the best!!
The rules:
* The ship places will be auctioned off and ALL proceeds raised will go towards a)initially - the cost of the ships. b) Any additional money raised after costs will go into prize money divided equally amoung the winning faction (Note that all pilots will be able to keep their ships...Assuming any survive!!). * Strictly No poddings. * Any ships warping out will be disqualified and will disqualify their race if they re-enter the fight. * Ships will be fitted with tech I fittings as per request by the auction winning pilots then flown to a 'Pit area' POS for collection moments before the battle. * No outside interference or cheating will be tolerated - independent ABVSS corporation referees will be on site watching the fights for any rulebreaking. * All ships must warp in within 15 minutes of the start of the fight or be disqualified. * All reserves must warp in within 5 minutes of the initial battleship being destroyed or be disqualified.
I am initially writing this to gauge interest in this event, and hopefully induce sponsorship in the form of prize money ISK and/or ships... SPONSORS will be given VIP access to view this epic battle, and remembered forever in the history of this event (should it even get off the ground!!)...
Please help!!! - I need your feedback on this idea then I will determine if this idea has any potential...Then assuming there is sufficient interest - I'll start with the auctioning of the seats in ships...
Thanks and regards, Vyktor Abyss

Hi,
This mail is just after feedback really...IF sufficient people are interested I'll confirm the location and then start to auction the ships. I'll add you to the mailing list about this event anyway.
Thanks, Vyk.

I think the deal is that you can choose your setup, but it has to be a setup that the ship was originally designed for. ______________________________________________________

Yup - you got it...
Example: Blackbird must use an ECM, maulus must use a sensor dampener - other fittings are all standard (non named) tech I fittings and can be chosen by you.
Thanks for the interest, but we need MORE before it can happen...Cheers.

I might be interested in this as a low level sponsor (providing the frigates and/or some cruisers etc)
The real extent would probably depend on how much interest there is etc. If it looks like it will actually happen feel free to EVEmail me as I dont usually check this branch of the forums too often

The idea sounds interesting, one question tho:
Does that "must take advantage of all ship bonuses" rule mean that a scythe or an osprey HAS to mount a mining laser??? Or a Probe a scan probe launcher (still utterly useless when warping is not allowed).
Perhaps the rule could be modified to "combat related ship bonusses", which would allow these ships to make use of their support role without wasting any slots...

Yep - thanks for clarifying...that was what I meant.
Navitas for example has No combat bonus, only a mining laser or some such bonus....so whatever fittings you want....
Still reckon we need more interest before I start gathering ships etc for auction...

Originally by: Caledric So I could bring an arbitor with my drones and jammers?
Well...I intended to do an auction for each pilot's spot in the ships - we would provide the ships.
Assuming you fit a minimum of 1 tracking disruptor and 1 combat drone to take advantage the ship's bonuses then the rest could be fitted as you liked - so long as it conforms to standard kit - that means NO named (hypnos ECM) etc...just plain old ECM I and such.
If we can get say another 15 people interested then I'll gather/manufactue the ships and put up the auction...
Thanks for your interest...

Ok - Excellent...A lot more interest here than I thought there would be, which is great...
I think I've got an idea for a location too, though I'm sure some people won't like it since it is in 0.0 - though it is a relatively quiet 0.0 system, only 1 jump from empire.
I'll start getting the ships built and gathering them close to this location, then I'll put the auction up - I'll mail all those interested when the auction is up.
(still looking for a sponsor for the big ships!)
Cheers, Vyk.

Hmm, I thinki this sounds like fun. Sadly, I'm not made of iskies to support a number of people's ships, however, I probably could be swayed to sponser a couple of battlecruisers or even a battleship.
Also, if this happens relativly soon, I'd be happy to fly said BC/BS. Let me know.

You may also count me as being interested.... If there is a chance to prove the might of the Imperial designs, how could I pass that up?
I would also be more than happy to sponsor several Amarrian ships...you may contact me directly and we can discuss the specifics.

I don't know if it's too late for this suggestion, but wouldn't it be less effort if you just auctioned off the places for participants and they bring their own stuff (ships, fittings)? They have to have them all handy any way in order to make sure they fit and work.
Auctioning off material and participation slots combined does not offer an appreciable advantage (you could still just sell the things you produced already on location to those people who don't want to ferry their stuff there). This way, the auction would remain restricted to participation, and thus pure jackpot potential, and you would need less initial funding in order to produce the ships and fittings. Unless you intend to auction off (participation+material) slots for below production value plus a fair markup based on the location, this won't make a net difference, just less investment needed.

Hehe - You're more clever than me by a street (and a long one at that)!!!
I've actually been strugling to get all the ships to one place/manufacture so many ships in one place since a) I dont have the resources to outlay for that number of ships and b) the skills to fly them all and shift them all! Hehe!
I will indeed take into account if people can bring their own ships to the event during the auction (coming very soon) to the tune of adding ship ISK value to the bid value for a pilot slot - this would help me get it moving a lot quicker.
The only stipulation would be that each race fits the ships with standard equipment (ECM I, AB I etc) taking advantage of the racial ship bonuses - because I want pilot and fleet skill rather than the ship fittings to be the greatest deciding factor to the outcome of the battle - which would be imbalanced if someone turns up in a faction fitted battleship for example.
Great suggestion though, and thanks for the feedback. The auction will be put up very soon I promise and I'll be notifying each of you via mail - please talk to anyone else you think might be interested in this and lets see how quickly we can fill the auction and get this event staged! Before Xmas would be awesome!
Thanks again, Vyk.

Unfortunately I'm too busy with real life and sorting out my wallet (loss of a command ship) and my corp (moving to 0.0) right now to be able to spare time for running this event.
I've created a mailing list of all the names of people interested and will contact you when I have sufficient time to be able to commit to this project, because its obviously something I'm not alone in wanting to make happen.
Apologies and Regards, Vyk.

I've spent 1 evening of the last 10 in EVE. My time is too short until I've completed my house move sorry. Even then I've just got a new job that takes me travelling round Europe most weeks...Though perhaps I can invest in a laptop and make proper use of all those s****y hotel rooms...
Until then, I can't do much on this sorry! :(
