Well I was just chillin and getting my ass kicked then BOOM! it hit me! What about a tournament!?
We could get some rules of engagement like how much(what) weapon, how much of a core, how much storage
We could lay down some list or something, make a decent balanced technical blue print, or some of them. I was thinking about something like:
fighter: under 150 000 shared core stats
Frigate: under 350 000 shared core stats
Cruiser: under 1 000 000 shared core stats
Capital: over 1 000 000 shared core stats
There is so much thing we can do with that, like, 1vs1, 2vs2, 1cap 1 cruiser 1 frigate 1 fighter vs same, 1 cruiser 3 fighters vs same...
I'm just throwing the idea around, let's try something and see how it works!
Of course we would have a dedicated day and time for that, no building in for an hour or something... something like that! Im all excited I think I just jizz in my pants.. brb

I want to stress out something here; my whole idea is to put less weapons than core, to make the battle longer, with more emphasis on piloting skills, reflex and core enhancement timing activation.
Something like; making everybody more or less on a same level. Just like F1 competition, some set of rules to makes the fight interesting. Having 3-4 archetype of fighter given the player some choice to fight, or having a choice of weapons having each of them some point, and give the player the choice to have 3 direct guns, 1 homing missile, 2 direct guns 1 homing, 2 direct guns 1 beam 1 torpedo...
Try to come up with a set of rules then have like a week to build your fighter and when saturday comes.... FIGHT! You give some latitude, but some strict rules to make it a challenge.
Tell me what you guys think of that
"I want you to show this world what it means to fear the sky."
I also think we need plenty of other activities too. Spacebuild servers usually fall into a dreary routine of people constantly building something new to dominate everyone else or building technology that is spaztastically amazing, but we hardly get to do anything amazing with it or apply our creations to really fun use. The faction wars would be awesome if we took them seriously, or devised some more events to draw people in, but I'm not the best planner for these sorts of things.
Nothing is permanent, it's only for that first exercice, we'll see how it work out and adjust, and we'll make more tournament and different ship archetype as well.
-Ship core under 100k overall
-3 weapons allowed
-Autocannon, Flakk, fighter laser, staff weapon and Homing Torpedo launchers only
-Gyropod required
-No Stargate shield
-No enhancer(Tho it might change to 1 repair of any kind)
-add some fuel tank but don't plan for fuel production, it will be provided
CAF Entity rules:
-No production entities NO MOULDY TACO CHIP!
-1 Batterie
-1 fuel tank
-1 node
-1 ressource cache
-1 ressource pump
We are Saturday the 23rd, the tournament will be held Saturday the 30th
You're fighter need to be approved by none but me
"I want you to show this world what it means to fear the sky."
And it might fit the next tournament tier as well.
Drop teh CAF rules.. and no need for approval or nothing. Just try to make a stripped down fighter so we can have this hudge fight..
