Pvp matches.

I love the idea of someone that cares about PvP (which isn't me) organising tournaments for people that want to PvP competitively.

There isn't any need for Frontier intervention to get this going though. Let me outline the plan I had come up with a while ago when I was considering this.

Every entrant pays an entry fee of a tonne of palladium (or other such fee as may be decided) the winner will collect all the palladium as a prize - I like the Top Gun line "Top gun is about combat. There are no prizes for 2nd place." Additionally, each pilot is responsible for having sufficient cash to afford the rebuy or repair costs of their ships.

24 hours prior to the competition, entries are closed. The number of entrants will be made up to the next power of 2 (4,8,16,32) with blank pilot slips, and then the first round matches will be drawn from a hat. A blank slip drawn against a player represents a bye, and that player will automatically advance to the next round.

The format for each match is as follows

1. A referee and the 2 players will meet in a designated anarchy system. The referee will scan each combatant ship to verify they are in compliance with the competition fitting rules.
2. The referee will retreat from the combatants, and announce the start of the match on a shared voice chat between both pilots and the referee
3. The match will continue until one of the ships is destroyed, or 15 minutes has elapsed.
4. Leaving the area will be classed as a defeat

Each match will be recorded and live streamed by the referee.

Defeated participants will be eliminated from the competition

As it stands, fitting rules would be relatively simple

1. Only the Sidewinder, Hauler, Eagle, Adder, Viper and Cobra hulls may be used.
2. No more than 1 shield cell bank may be fitted to a ship
3. Cargo holds must be empty


This would, I think, have the potential to be a popular competition if organised.

Yeah that's also a very good suggestion.

Just name an anarchy system, a nav point (planet 3), and a time,..see who shows up. Make it a weekly event for the PvP folks. Could simply start with stock sidies. It should be about skill not the most expensive load out right?

Stock sideys could be a modality, but also all-cobras or all-pythons or free-for-all for the minmaxers and with more ships


also, all type 9 with one pulse laser and no shields for the lols

Guys, this kind of content must be player sourced.

After the Lugh rebellion is succesful, we will try to set up a celebratory PvP tournament. It will be held monthly, lets say every 10th of the month. For the first "event" we have chosen the "Hauler Wars" deathmatch format. Basically 16 players join a group, everyone in a custom Hauler. Last one alive wins, and gets the prize, founded by the Emperor himself: i (as his humble servant) will fill the winners cargo hold with palladium. There may be a second and third prize as well (maybe gold and silver?).

We are still working on it, we will announce that after the Lugh victory. First we are testing the grouping by creating an Imperial "aid for Lugh rebels" convoy. We want to arrange a meeting of two rather large groups and see how it will work. Also, we have enough people participating in the convoy event already, that we are sure, the queue for the "Hauler Wars" will be long...

The Elite is a skeleton. We want to put the flesh on it.

This is how you do it. Devs have nothing to do with it, unless they want to pu the results and the winners name on the GalNet- if we will permit them so.

I support this idea. A lot of the current open/solo forum poo throwing is out of frustration by fans of player on player combat, something that creates a dogfight server environment for those that want it is a great idea. Being able to play the game the way you want to play it ? Sounds like the basic principle of the game to me.
