The "Your patience will be rewarded" CQC expedition

Hi fellow explorers,

Over in the CQC discord channel, there have been murmurs about an expedition. Perhaps to Sag A* or perhaps to Jaques or anywhere else vaguely interesting. Each member of the expedition will carry a ship launched fighter with them and on arrival at the destination hold a series of CQC style battles with the fighters only, no ship to ship shooting. Other events could be added I guess. These battles would be public though controlled, so people could come and watch. Some of the best CQC players have expressed an interest.

The idea would be that the journey would include some interesting sights but the focus would be on a distant CQC match, either team or deathmatch.

My question here is, is this something that any of this illustrious forum might be interested in and also can anyone suggest a good location they have found out in the black? One issue of course is the limited number of fighters that can be carried so we may need to be within a reasonable distance of a station but I would rather this wasn´t really necessary.

When rules etc have been established I will post a formal roster and route etc but would like to gauge interest before hand in order to establish the parameters of the events.

Please note, this will not be a PvP event as I for one, don't do that. The only things to die will be SLF's and possibly SRV's.

Any thoughts welcomed.
 
Interesting. If this comes to pass, I could swing by with my For the Mug expedition and drop Hutton Mugs and Lavian Brandy for the winner. :)
Sgr A* is a logical choice of location, but the Great Annihilator sounds much better... just imagine the headlines... "Elemination Tournament today, at the Great Annihilator!"

"...in a surprise ending to the event, the Elimination Tournament was itself eliminated by the Great Annihilator. Now here's Tom with the weather."

Hammering out the details and "how to make it fun and fair" of a SLF tournament should probably be done before leaving the bubble. They don't much resemble their CQC/Arena counterparts.
