Wednesday, September 22nd 2010 at 21:00 h server time near planet Crossfire, X-3043 system. I hope to see you there!

· No nanobots, no shield batteries, no docking for repairs and reloads;
· If a smuggler or hunter is bothered by a player who is not participating in the event, (s)he should report that to the Event Manager or a ServerPolice member. He will also get a hefty bounty on him, and that will be taken care of by the server mercenaries.

Rules for smugglers:

· NO CAMPING - unless you're flying a capital ship and this is your specific task (eg. guarding a wormhole/jumpgate);
· Hunters cannot enter the target system itself until the smuggler is at least 1 system away from the the target system;

My EM char was down to 150 million, but Avian reactivated his EM char and shared his money with me, I'm now at 450 million, cca. Also, Avian will be taking over hosting of Top Gun, and I'll step in when he can't make it.

Event description: The Hunters have to hunt the Smugglers and kill them. The Smugglers have to manage to fight their way to a special station to deliver their goods. Two smugglers start from a given system and have to dock at a final station. On their way to that station, they have to reach two other systems (checkpoints). Hunters know only the final docking station but not the two intermediary systems. Hunters may not enter the final system until smugglers have reached a system next to the final destination.

General rules and rewards:

· Each player gets 5 million credits as participation reward;
· Smuggler: +5 million per tagged checkpoint; +10 million if he reaches the target, +10 million credits if he kills an attacking hunter;
· Hunter gains +10 million per killed smuggler;
· Player that is killed by another player or an NPC can't return to the hunt;
· Clan systems (Alaska, Tohoku, Purian Lake, Daedalus, Casius, Hiruga, Custodian, Tarsus, Nephele) are included by default and can be used unless otherwise specified;
· No nanobots, no shield batteries, no docking for repairs and reloads, all players must carry 1 BMG;

I'm not sure, sorry if I erred. The whole last thing happend too quick, and I've had a few beers... Don't drink and fly!

You can write comments here, as long as they're (remotely) on the subject - seems my event topics are not as spammy as others, hehe

Quote from Michael

How Shocky tagged all checkpoints if he was killed ?

Tagged first and second checkpoint, but didn't reach the target. Target is not a checkpoint.

Great show tonight - hunters used a very tactical approach, which worked well, if nothing else - for excercise for the next time! Smugglers evaded the hunters successfully through the Sigmas and Kusari space, which was very fun to watch.

Also, Forlon made an interesting proposal about giving different smuggle routes to smugglers, which would spice up the hunt even more, and this we will try next week and see how it goes.
