I have a question...
Is this going to be an actually real time battle (using the X3 engine, pretty much playing online)
or is this a calculations test?

Updated the original fleet to better suit possible tournament rules as well as adding an exact cost (minus software, read footnote at fleet page)

Hey Technojerk, there certainly isn't any need for apologies - we all need time with this anyhow - There have been a few suggested rule alterations through the thread which maybe you could comment on? The biggest was to suggest a cap on ship numbers (as the combat scripts associated with so many ships were either running poorly or not at all).
No one has asked about the script to actually position and engage the fleets that I know of and yes it would be good if you were to post in S&M about this. |
I wasn't planning to implement the docking bay rule originally as only one fleet had fighter spam (81 Solanos I think) but since mostly everyone here seems to be ok with it, I'll update the rules.
And thanks for posting in the request sticky. I was going to post there when I saw your post.

Just a couple points I thought were worth highlighting.
In my not even slightly humble opinion if you're going to set a 250M limit then make it a hard limit. Not a credit more. If that means the various fleet commanders have to make some sacrifices then tough, that's the point. |
I don't really think this is necessary as 10K isn't going to get you a lot of things. But not a lot of people have expressed their opinion on this so I'll leave it open to discussion.

| Lastly, given the random nature of an AI v AI fight I think it would only be fair to make it a best of 3 rounds deal. Obviously that would extend the matches some but fights don't necessarily have to be to extinction. Most intact fleet after 15 minutes or whatever might be perfectly acceptable. |
Tenlar had some ideas on how to implement this so I'll leave this one open to discussion too.
Also, since we have an odd number of participants (13), I'll put together an ad hoc fleet to even things out if need be.

Edited the rules on German board.
I'd also say that we shouldn't implement any more rules since we have a deadline. How everything will work out will be reveiled when we are actually doing it. No matter what we think will happen, I'm sure there will be some surprises left anyway.

Yeah, no more rule changing from now on. (Unless, of course, it's something along the lines of by posting in this thread you agree to buy Technojerk a private jet  )

Updated the fleets list.
I'm looking for an other commentator, any one wanna volunteer? I'm in GMT+3 so it'd be handy if you're in a close timezone. What I'm probably going to do is record the match, then send it to the other commentator. We'd then play the recording at the same time and we'd be on a teamspeak server or something and I'd record what we say. (I'm sure this isn't the most efficient way to do it so if anyone has any better ideas, let me know).

@stealth hunter:
I'm not sure about the Triplex but Video Goggles are pretty superflous since you're not sitting in any of your ships. AFAIK does the AI not use the boosters, too. As for the CCS I'm not sure the AI benefits from that.
Welcome to X-verse Fleet Fest!

I removed the boost extension and video googles from all ships and used the left-over credits to install some more missiles, Cpt.Jericho.
Time for some fireworks!

 PhotonenImpulsKanone (PIK) is in Englisch PhotonPulseCannon (PPC)
Yeah - fire ... fire 
Memo: Have alter my equipment some day or other 
I was afraid I'd be the only one from the German board here
@ Deadbeat_Spin:
There have been concerns about the M8 being able to fire any missles under AI control; you might want to check that!

Awww ****......that explains why no fleet has M7M's. Alright I'll kick out the M8's and replace them with something else.
Out of curiousity does the AI ever use missiles (regardless of ship)?
