I think it’s an abuse, but what would be cool idea is:

 

Rakza with Inquisitor S vs 16 players with t1 fighters and interceptors, the one who kills rakza gets a reward :smiley:

3

Single T5(cough-cough-r13 empire-implant-cough-cough) ship can easily win vs 12+12 T1s

Are the GM’s forbidden from frigates as well?  We know the T1 frigates suck, so why ban them?

Because T1 frigates are not enough powerful compared to Fighter/Ceptors

I am looking forward to this event.

I he game mode is made to train pilots. Emulate a pve environment. The GMS and helpers will be using to ships with out restrictions. But it’s against near impossible odds and the GMS have to cap the beacons. The other players do not

A pack of four harpies with good positioning can harass and eventually kill any T5, considering that the GM cannot go far from the beacons if he want to win. 4 desintegrator shots every 3 seconds will kill anything, even an Inquisitor S.

 

So yeah, hopefully for the GMs, T1 frigates are not allowed XD

I love that my post was hidden/deleted… So be it. You have forced my hand. Deal with it.

Could you stop, please, try to sacrifice me?

11

Yes. T1 frigates for participating pilots are not allowed. As it would be an easy win if everyone went sniper!

Actually, keeping you alive whilst you’re trying to sacrifice yourself is likely to be the most absurdly effective strategy to befall us.

Meh, T1 disintegrator is easier to dodge than an EM torpedo.

14

I think 3 T4 Guards and one Engy would probably be forced to have high EM and Kinetic Resistance to deal with 12 enemys.

It might be a little trickier when it’s three or four disintegrators at once while dodging fire from a few fighters.

Okay, I got word that Snipers of any sort shall be banned from this event as it can be seen as OP from any side. 

 

A T4/5 Sniper can one shot a any T1 ship.

Sounds interesting.

 

What/Who is an amateur pilot?

Basically this event is for the amateur pilot that wants to verse us or those players that want to be part of a sure fire big battle with an added challenge. 

 

An amateur pilot is a beginner to say the least.
