Ancient Hunt

Hurry up and get some, the offer is limited. Just bring your ship to Freeport 10 in Tau-37 system and contact [CCCP]Cresthen.
Mind that only the players who have no weapons better then these can count on receiving them.

Number of cannons available at the moment: 0. Sorry, the offer has expired.

The only gun of Team two which made it to Dock 3 was mine^^
Yeah, i was the best hunter in our team

Objective: Collect the maximum number of Ancient weapons in specified time frame.

How does it work:

1.There will be only two teams.
2. Each team has 35 minutes to hunt.
3. After returning from Dervon all guns going to me.
4. Start Triangulum Dock 3 - Finish Triangulum Dock 3.
5. When I say back to Utopia system team have five minutes to get to Triangulum Dock 3.
6. Penalty for exceeding the time 45 seconds = 1 Guns (subtract from the total results).
7. If it draws, both teams go back to Dervon to 15 minutes hunting.

Event restrictions:

• No char-switching
• No cheating
• If you die, hurry back to Dervon
• Utopia system and Dervon is Out of Role Play during event.
• NO docking in Dervon.

Prize money:

5 milion for participation + 15 milion per player in wining team
5 milion for participation + 5 milion per player in second team (if they had more than 12 ancient guns)

Note:
I hope that this will shorten duration event to 60-90 minutes.

Discussion:
1. While one team hunts Dervon system, the other team hunt nomads in Utopia system. No waiting for hunting. GooD or BaD?
2. Two nomad gun = One Ancient Energy Canon or for each nomad gun an additional one or two million in team prize. GooD or BaD?
3. If you have any ideas feel free to bring here.

Thanks in advance for the answer!

Great idea, though Nomads aren't the only NPCs in Utopia. Players having Rheinland Military and Unioneers hostile will constantly get interrupted while hunting the Nomads.
Besides, with the participants having no time to waste while the others hunt, it is possible to make more than 2 teams for the event.

For my mind, such conversion between the guns is completely inadmissible (I personally wouldn't exchange an ancient gun even for 20 nomad ones). In addition, it would be quite uncanny for an Ancient hunt event if the team which collects more ancient cannons does not become the winner... And finally, as written above, the result of the nomad hunt in Utopia depends on one's reputation.
As for the money prize - it would be quite more fair as the number of nomad guns does not affect winning/loosing the event in this case, so there will be more fun without any bad sides (except an additional workload for the manager ).

Well thanks for doing the Event, Husker, although it kind of sucked.
First, the NPCs in Dervon did neighter spawn nor drop appropriately. Only at the end NPCs started to spawn and drop. So we had only 8 guns, of which you did not count 3 because we were too late. I was the only one in time and only because I started flying back 5 mins before hunt time ended. After that the second goup started hunting Ancients, we hunted Nomads. The Server crashed, we lost ~10 guns. More crashes, more guns lost. In the end we had 28 Nomad guns and about 25 which were lost. So all in all 53 nomad guns, if the Server had not not crashed.
Certainly the other team was also annoyed since they lost their Ancient guns.
After many crashes (3 or 4) you called us back, told us that we would repeat the second half and all our nomad guns were worthless. Don't you think that that really makes you angry after such a bad start (well not start... the event already too ~1,5 hours) ?
Well Freefalcon then killed you and you ended the Event and went off.
Certainly Freefalcon's action was not right at all, but i can understand him. Exspecially because he believed you manipulated NPC spawn and drop.
(Once you wrote in our group: "NPC spawn enabled"; after that NPCs really started to spawn and drop. I think it was just chance and you are not able to manipulate server like that, but well...)

All in all we can say, that the event today was a total fail and did not bring real fun for any of the participants, I think.
Anyway, thx that you at least tried to make the event in a good way and to find a way to continue after the crashes, Husker.

First: I spend a minimum of 2-3 hours per event. Instead of playing with my clan mates.
I'm doing this just for CF community.

Second: woot lost guns..when i scan him he cary +10 nomads guns and second group had worse conditions for hunting (serverload +300) and after server crash Paladin and other players give me ancient guns think +8 (15 min hunt and second group alredy is win) and just for your group restarted second part of event (obviously an error).

Third: Again ours group go earlier in nomad hunting, without my aprove to go hunting. Ancient hunt 35 min nomad hunt 25 min. (reason to easier control players guns). Maybe learn to listen ... and when to admit defeat.

In Second group we have only one expirienced player UR_Paladin all others is first or second event in CF and folows instruction perfect.

PS
And what are the speculation that the EM controls the conditions of server rofl... i only give info for beter play.
The my only mistake is that I returned three times to the server after crash and tried to organize again second part of event... I do it just for the players.
TOTAL FAIL rofl no ...only TOTAL FIAL behavior of player in event.
AND TOTAL FAIL --- I allowed to have two events at once. If players do not knows to have fun I am not obliged to be entertaining them.

I did NOT critizize Husker. I Just said, that the event was not very good because of the SERVER (NPC spawn and crashes). I did not say it was Huskers fault, in contrast i thanked him for returning and trying to reorganize the Event after the crashes. And i also said that Freefalcons action certainly was WRONG! I only tried to explain that he had some very strange idea of you being manipulating the event by the NPC spawn rate, which i do NOT believe.
If you misuderstood that and thought i wanted to critizise Husker, then I am sorry, that was not my intention.

Anyway, if you still want to critizise me now, i don't care since i think this event is over and next one will be better.
