Hello Commanders,
The Mobius ElitePvE group is approaching the 10,000 member mark fast!
We thought it would be nice to have a series of events to celebrate this very special occasion.
At the current join rate, we expect to pass the 10,000 member mark this weekend, so we will kick off the celebration on
Sunday, 12th of July at 11am BST (UTC+1)
with a little "racing" event.
(Approx. racing time for one participant less than 1h.)
I am very happy to announce FireyToad (http://www.twitch.tv/fireytoad) has agreed to take part in the event as special guest and stream it life on his channel for those who cannot take part but would like to watch. The honour he is giving us by doing so is even greater, as he usually has sunday off and chose to make an exception for us! A big thank you to FireyToad for that!
The race will take place in the Mobius group (obviously
), the start is Zaonce/Ridley Scott, the finish will be annonced before the event.
There are 5 Referees, who you will have to add to your friends list before the event. Their Commander names are these:
Mobius
Flip Martin
Golem XIV
Big Shot
Dexter Wolf
There are even some prizes to win!
Frontier Developments has kindly provided us with an Elite: Dangerous Goodie Bag (Pen, collection of faction mugs and pin badges, and t-shirt) to give to the lucky winner!
If FireyToad wins, he will pass on the prize to one of his viewers!
But that is not all: You will have to do it in a Sidewinder!
And you need some cargo space!
Further Rules:
To prove your times you will have to make a screenshot of the commodities market at all port stops after aquiring the needed cargo and at the finishing port before AND after you sell your cargo again.
Your starting time would be the screenshot of the first commodities market in Zaonce.
The commodities market has the time and the station name displayed among other Information identifying you and your ship.
All screenshots will be screened for photoshop editing, to ensure that no one attempts to edit their screen shots.
We will be able to detect such imperfextions!
Screenshots will be have to be uploaded to the cloud or emailed directly to the referees (or admin@elitepve.com) within 20 mins of finishing the rally, contestants missing the deadline will be excluded from the competition. In the case of a clous upload the link has to be emailed or PM'd to the admins of http://elitepve.com. This is to ensure that we can find out who won and to ensure that no cheating has taken place.
I have put together a possible loadout on http://edshipyard.com to show you what you might have to do. This loadout costs: CR 195.176 if you buy it from scratch, icnlcuding the ship. So the actual price is lower if you trade in or just mod your sidey. We are aware that this is not possible with a brand new commander, but the price is reasonably low.
A fuel scoop is highly recommended, the probability to get stranded is very high without one, so no shields this time around
The framshift drive could be lower grade but class A is better, of course. You can choose whatever loadout you like, as long as you can carry at least 6 tons of cargo and are able to deliver them at the finish line.
Different events will be held during the coming week, as 10,000 members is worthy of more than just one race!
Fly safe, commanders!
