Want to put into practise what you've learned in Fightclub ? Want to boss ppl around ? Here's your chance !

You are hereby invited to participate in a good old fashioned Space Rugby.


How does it work ?
=> We'll divide participants into teams of 3 persons, where one flies a "Hauler" and the two others a "Defender".
=> In an Arena, tractor a "ball" from the center of the playing field through your goal to score a point. Prevent your opponent team from doing so by either popping their Defenders or ecming the Hauler.
=> Whichever team gets the most points after a set amount of time wins.
=> Once a Defender explodes, that person immediately reships into a new one and jumps back into combat until time is over.

The Ships:
=> ALL Ships will be provided, for free ! You do not need to bring your own.
However please do check if you have the skills for them. They've been designed to be flown as an Alpha, and having one level in f.ex Small Hybrid Turret is enough in this case.
=> One skill ppl usually do not have is Energy Pulse Weapons (costs 130k, roughly 20-40 mins training time to level 1), please make use of the excellent Skillbook Program and please do not wait until the event has started.

Expected survivability time for a Defender is ~10 seconds. Worry not, i have prepared enough of them (245) and fast ongrid reshipping will be provided (aka you dont need to warp far or waste valuable time).

Mumble whisper:
We'll all be sitting in same fleet comms divided by subchannels, it is therefore imperative everyone has their whisper key set up. You can read on the wiki on how to setup, or as alternative here's a gif image.

Clean Clone:
Stacmon being Uni HQ provides a cheapo clonebay for one isk. Although podding is not allowed, as a safety measure please make sure to switch into a clean one.

Prizes:
Yes, there's some PLEX to be won !


Think that's it, hopefully i've now made you interrested in participating.

6 brave persons joined this event, so it actually ran (for the 3rd time after a myriad of attempts).

Winning teammembers got 10 PLEX each (sponsored by Menelmir). I hope ppl werent expecting something massive as prize seeing as everything was provided for free.

But yeah, once participants saw how it goes they had massive amounts of fun ! You missed out if you didnt join
