  • Excursion to Hyperspace


    We're planning a little excursion trip to Hyperspace on Sunday, september 13th, for the purpose of exploration of those dangerous Dom'Kavash systems, and getting us some prized loot from Hyperspace. Clan or RP alignment is irrelevant, all those who wish to participate are welcome.


    The SFP clan has kindly agreed to allow Gorlowka Carrier in Sovetskaya system to be used as a staging point for our little endeavor. The system will be open for visit for those who participate, there will be free weapons and ammo, and also big discounts on Laggs for clan aligned people, whereas freelancers would be allowed to buy Lagg free of additional charge (thank you, Michael and the entire SFP clan). ;)


    In Ancalagon's words, the recommended vessels are Very Heavy Fighters, although you are free to use a capital ship (eg. Osiris, Kusari Destroyer) if you like. WARNING: Kusary Destroyer is LP clan's property - consult Daedalus system rules before entering and purchasing the Destroyer.


    For newbies, these are more commonly used fighters available at Sirius:
    - Shroud VHF; Planet Prophecy, Tarsus; cca 10 million $;
    - Predator VHF; Planet Tobruk, Neophobos; cca 10 million $;
    - Reaper VHF; Lhasa Station, Casius; cca 10 million $; WARNING: This system is IOC property - consult Casius system rules before entering and purchasing the fighter.


    Please remember to buy Coalition bribe at Planet Earth, Sol system (3.1 million $). It would also be wise to buy class 10 armor, shields and shield upgrades at their respectable purchase locations. Also, for the purpose of being seen should your cruise be distrupted, it is recommended that you have at least one Phoenix Project Cannon mounted on your fighter.


    A fleet admiral will be chosen before the event itself, and he will be responsible for navigation. Officers (whose number will depend on the number of people there) will also be chosen to handle the distribution of countermeasures, nanobots and shield batteries. We will also have the support of at least one Serverpolice member (if Daywalker can get the spiderweb and dust off his Ragnarok). :D Further fleet tactics will be discussed later in topic.


    After the event is over, non-SFP players and non-SFP-allies will politely be escorted through Vorkuta and beyond, back to the relative safety of the Sirius sector (and by relative, I mean Lucy will still be there, somewhere, lurking in the nebulae). :D


    So, to sum up:
    Date: September 13th, 2009. (Sunday).
    Time to meet at Sovetskaya: between 20:00h and 20:45h server-time.
    Departure: 21:00h server-time.


    Since this will be a group thing, we kindly ask the players not to visit Hyperspace on that day on their own, as it would ruin the event and player experience for everyone and you would be deemed an all-round asshole. Thank you! :)

  • Why would we plan a trip on a day that the gate is closed?

  • Don`t tell, me that you know when the gate will be open, beforehand?

    Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.


    Being a Cynic isn't that bad. Either I'm right or I am pleasantly surprised.

  • Ok I will enlighten you further. So you know when the gate is open as there is a pattern to the event. However, "On 31th august the old CF server will shut down and replaced with the new server (still running 1.7 then). " Remember the last file transfer? The sequence of events was changed. OP needs to copy the files and this will likely mean a loss of at least a day in the cycle of events. So I asked the question so you may plan for this eventuality or plan to avoid it.

  • Thanx for enlightening me. This development will have to be monitored.

  • *Additional warning*...Kusari destroyer is property of LP clan.......make prior arrangements if u wish to purchase for this endeavor or for any other purpose

    I roam space in search of adventure and treasure.

    FYI: Lost Prophets are currently recruiting, please talk with a representative online :D

  • Would a repair ship be nice to have around or is that not really needed at all? ^^


    I have been laughing recently about buying one and using it as a support role for forces.. this event brings it back into my mind..


    Anyway it sounds like an awesome event and I hope it all goes good as I am sure it will be very fun!


    PS: Repair ship would be mainly used for Bots Bats I suppose.. maybe ammo too, just not sure if it would really be helpful enough too use instead of a war-ship. :)

  • @ Marauder: Sorry, I forgot about the LP's monopoly on Kusari Destroyers, it won't happen again.


    @ I am D: This seems like a good idea, 750 batt/bot load seems like a handy thing to have. Did anyone fly this thing, can the Repair Ship be maneuvered enough to have a chance of avoiding DK cruise distruptor?


    (Repair Ship is purchasable at Planet Vernon in Vespus system.)

  • Well that just about puts me into a down mood, but since I am not sober I will move on. ^^


    I will still ofc participate and I may even remember too mention this too some people in-game.
    PS: I hope the repair ship will be fix in 1.8 ^^ I still want too fly it ^^

  • Since the server has been offline for a few days, the excursion will not take place on 6th because the gate probably won't be open then. Ancalagon said he'll take a look and notify us on the first available date for the trip. :)

  • I have a better solution, .. Why don't you go to the gate and check it out by your own... so I will know if I can go or not :D

  • Ok, update - we go on the Sunday, September 13th. All other details remain the same.

    Of course, but then I'd get into Hyper, kill everything there, and then DKs would run in terror when they see me and I'd be überawesome, so it wouldn't be fair to the other players... :D

    It's because I have a Starflier equipped with four Radical Awesome Cannons and an OMG torpedo launcher. They wouldn't know what hit them. :D

  • Is it necessary to say "count me in!" or does everybody already now i'm in? ( except those who have problems remembering my name, yet :D )


  • Just a reminder, the big day is tomorrow, so I hope to see you there. ;)
