[Complete] An Epic Weekend -> 2024.11.08-10

Post by JohnPlayerNotSpecial »

Update: New Dates !




Image
Picture unrelated, i couldnt find anything appropriate.


I like to run Epic Arcs. Often. Fast. But we're not going to do that. So let's have some fun together instead !


I'm inviting YOU to an epic weekend ! Where we run the 3 big Epic Arcs (read: those that actually have combat) together with a full clear !


To entertain assist us, and also so you dont get bored by my ramblings, i have secured one of the very best the Uni has to offer in regards to missions: Chris Halsky ! He'll be dancing and juggling while we shoot at red chevrons to get dank Faction standings !


On the menu:
=> Friday 2024-11-08: Gallente Epic Arc (Syndication) @ 17h00. ~3h duration.
Formup location is Tolle VI - Moon 6 - Impro Factory

=> Saturday 2024-11-09: Minmatar Epic Arc (Wildfire) @ 17h00. ~3h duration.
Formup location is Frarn VI - Moon 18 - Brutor Tribe Bureau

=> Sunday 2024-11-10: Amarr Epic Arc (Right to Rule) @ 17h00. ~3-4h duration.
Formup location is Nahyeen VI - Ministry of Internal Order Assembly Plant


Fleet:
=> Every fleet is limited to 8 participants.
=> As we're going for full clear (read: we kill everything), assume 3 hours as duration for each at the minimum.
=> No loaners, you need to bring your own ship !
=> Voice comms aka Mumble !


8 participants:
Mission LP/Standings are shared with a maximum of 10 characters in fleet. As we already have Chris and myself, there are 8 slots left. First come, first serve.


Ships:
Obviously you'll need your own, no loaners in this instance. Regarding requirements here's a list:

=> Minimum T1 Battleship. No exceptions.
=> Have Omnitank. That means have tank for all the damagetypes (EM/Thermal/Kinetic/Explosive) without having a major resist hole.
=> Active Tank -> have a shieldbooster or armor repper depending if you're shield or armor. No buffer or passive/purger.
=> Large Micro Jump Drive -> I want everyone to be able to microjump. No exceptions.
=> Propulsion Module of choice, be it Afterburner or Microwarp.
=> A fast frigate in the battleship frigate escape bay. Like an Atron or Rifter or whatever. Fit it for sub2s align and maximum warp speed. It'll not see any combat, it's for moving around.

Now, i am aware the requirements are a bit steep, and also vague. This as they depend on your skills and preferences. Please talk to your regular mission runner friends and/or "#fitting-chat" / "#missioning" on discord for fit suggestions as i'll not be able to assist each and everyone for every minute detail.


Mumble:
Chris & I explain everything through voice as typing all the things would make our fingers bloody. So even if you dont want to or cannot speak for any reason (which is fine ofc), being able to listen to what we're saying is kind of needed. Please have it set up before you decide to join :)


~3-4 hours: really ?
Think of those like a very long L4 Mission fleet. We are going to take breaks. Have snacks and/or the drink(s) of your choice prepared. Also you'll need to be part of the whole thing as the faction standing only come in when we hand in the last mission and i wouldnt want to have someone come in at the very last minute just to sponge while the rest does all the legwork.


TLDR:
In the end it's fairly straightforward. Bring an appropriate battleship to the dockup locations linked above, and be ready on mumble to receive an invite to the fleet. For easiness have it omnitanked if you want to use the same for each run. And have fun :)
Think that's it, sorry for the sort of wall of text. Hopefully i've now made you interrested in participating anyhow.

Ps: why not the Caldari one ?
Well, that one doesnt really lend itself to be done in a fleet, and also it has like 3 combat encounters if generous.

Ps2: why not the SoE one ?
...really ?

Nice!
Got some Questions though:
Do I need the Large Micro Jump Drive AND (Afterburner or Microwarp) fitted at the same time or can I use a mobile HQ to refit ?
Is there some remote cap stuff going on ? Likely bringing a Marauder and might some spare high slots
Is this going to happen even with the war going on ?
I might need to sit this one out, due to sheduling but I'm very interested in follow up sessions ...

MWD/AB is for the missions where you need to move to a gate. MJD is your "get out of jail free card" (and to speed up things on occasion).

No. Everything has to be self reliant. Idea for this event is to show ppl what those Arcs entail so they then can make their own judgement for how to run them on their own.

Update: Gallente Epic, despite only having a single person joining, was smooth sailing. We went with the blitz approach instead of full clear due to numbers, but all of that got cut short when we noticed Mesibier (which is the Agent system for the 3rd part) is corruption5. Didnt know it could do that :o

I'm going to continue the rest of that arc with the person as soon as the insurgency goes away next week :)
