Community Event / Creation Rising Tide: The First Occasional Novus Ordo Siderum Shieldless Adder Expedition

Half-Lock

Half-Lock


Are you ready to ride a wave of destruction? Go to your nearest shipyard and outfit yourself with a shieldless Adder. We'll spend two-three days in each system, causing havoc and mayhem, before travelling to the next, ending the first leg. All players are welcome to join, be they outfitted for the march, for support, or resistance to the implacable wave of 100-ton destruction flowing through the crevices and gulleys of the galaxy.

I'll be here on the PC side (CMDR Half-L0ck and CMDR Half-Lock) and any are welcome to join. Legacy players are welcome to stage and take part in their own version of events.

After the first two weeks, you'll be free to keep going as long as you'd like. If you're doing one or seeing a bump in the numbers I might come and visit. Yes, you can send your gankers and enforcers when I'm in there in the bump zones. Yes, I'll be in Napoleon.

The current itinerary is set to begin in Mac Moti, travel to and through Lepchana, Piara, and Mahina, before ending in Pangilagara.

Where is the event going to start:

Navigation Beacon in Mac Moti at 1900 UTC March 16, 2024.

Who is eligible:
any and all Pilots Federation members

Odyssey:
For those pilots that would like to take part in the planetary settlement raids and bombing runs, Odyssey will be required.

Galaxy:
OPEN

Requirements:
Bring your rebuys. You're gonna need them. You're going to need a lot of them.​

We're two week off from the event, so I'll give a quick rundown.

As some of you have gleaned through in-game interactions with me, my signal is not fast enough for most of you to end up within my instances. It happens, no big deal.

Nonetheless, I'll be posting my squadron's itinerary within The Nain Logs on the Friday night before the event begins. Such will be my plans for the entirety of the event. You are welcome to attempt to join me in-instance or simply follow along and conduct yourselves as you would were you working with me. If you're conducting your own BGS or Powerplay activities within the regions, feel free to post them here to this post, in case anyone else wants to join you or within your groups.

Equally, you're invited to just go on and get in there and cause of some havoc: random PvP and settlement PvP while space-leggers are contesting, trade at a loss, massacre settlements, interdict and kill system security and any other pilots in-system, push factions up or down into war with the nearest BGS competitor, etc. Just get in there in your shieldless adders and press the "fire 1" button.

It's all in good fun and also bad fun,

Its been one of my favorite combat vehicles since I started The Nain Logs. It's just a fun vehicle to fly around in.

If there's any kind of chaotic gathering at all, there will probably be some folks in Imperial vehicles coming in to regulate Imperial space space.

For the most part, the shieldless adder isn't a hard rule as much as a play guide. If you'd like to come in and just do whatever you feel like doing in whatever you feel like doing it in, you're welcome to do so

Video on the way in (maybe Nain Logs, maybe not- will post link onto this thread, if so).

Build for bombing runs is identical to build on community events page, save replacing cannons with 3x shock mine launchers (Ion Disruption, Reverberating Cascade, Shift Lock cannister). As you'll see in the video, it takes a little bit of finesse to secure the accuracy of the unguided shock mines, but nothing particularly difficult. My experimental are, recognizably, ship-combat oriented and make for pretty video, during which I also use my hull as a battering ram to obtain entry into settlement security.
Moving to Piara tomorrow, as mentioned in The Nain Logs

I'd been eyeballing this one for the past couple of days and this one's definitely gonna be a concern. I had some events planned for early next week and I may have to fake it for the video before I'm immediately shot at by everything anywhere near Imperial territory for the next 10 weeks.
