[Complete] [Uni 20th Anniversary] Wild Velator Hunt -> 2024-03-12 @ 19h15

[JohnPlayerNotSpecial]

Date: 2024-03-12 @ 19h15 evetime.
Location: Stacmon (Uni HQ).
Duration: ~1h.
Ships: you need to bring your own. (...and have the skills to fit an expanded probe launcher).
Fleet: yes, check fleet finder. Please be on time
Mumble: Yes.

You are hereby invited to hunt ... Wild Velators !

Your Job, if you so choose to accept, will be to get to a designated target system, from which within X Jumps you'll find Wild Velators. They went rogue and need to be eliminated (read: you need to shoot them).

Now, in order to find those pesky buggers, you'll need a ship equipped with an expanded probe launcher, some combat probes, and some form of DPS (be it drones, guns, whatever, your choice). Also being familiar with D-Scan might speed up your process of finding them and giving you an edge over your competitors (hints will be given).

Everything will happen in HighSec ! You'll not get told to go to LowSec or Null !

Ships:
For fairness sake here are the limitations for what you can bring:
=> Only T1 Explorers (aka Magnate/Imicus/Probe/Heron/Megathron).
=> Only T1 Modules (No Sisters Launcher/Probes).

Here's a cheapo Heron example fit:

Hobgoblin I x3


Combat Scanner Probe I x8

It's basicly barebone Launcher/Probes with some added scan strength. That way you can swap out the modules to make it a regular Explorer after the event. Fits for the other 3 T1 exploships are similar: T1 expanded launcher with T1 combat probes, and some form of dps.

If you want to go pro, use this:

Mumble:
I explain everything through voice as typing all the things would make my 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 i'm saying is kind of needed. Please have it set up before you join

Clean Clone:
Stacmon being Uni HQ provides a cheapo clonebay for one isk. Although podding is not allowed and it all will happen in highsec, 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.

LOL! Do you need some volunteer, wild Velator pilots? Should I bring my own Velator or will you have some on contract? Do you have a preferred fit, or can I cram whatever I can into it? Should I put some loot in a can in the hold?
