So out of curiosity, when the rules are actually 100% finalized can we please get rid of this thread and get a locked and stickied post? This is almost as bad as CAOD.

The rules post is in the first (few) posts.

I'm not in the business of stifling discussion on the subject. If someone comes up with a massive rules hole at the last minute, it'll still be subject to discussion and the rules subject to change if that is needed, so why would we lock the post? Thousands of players are better at spotting potential issues than I alone could ever be :)

Now, that's the mentality of an outstanding and quality oriented Dev or QA specialist (Sorry Mr. Claw, I don’t know if you are exactly on Dev or QA team )! I wish some of the other gaming development companies had the same mentality...

6. When cameras are ready, the host sets of a powerful ECM burst and warps off. This signals the start of the fight.
(snip)
10. Locking players before the match starts is NOT allowed.
(snip)
12. Launching drones before the match starts is NOT allowed.

---

So, er... how do we know the ECM burst went off?

We could limit them to one logistics ship per team, limit RR to logistics only, limit total logistics modules on a team and so on, but then we're getting too dictatative (I couldve sworn that's a word, spellchecker disagrees...answers on a postcard please) with setups...

---

..think the word you want is 'Dictatorial'

...be interesting so see how many falcons and logistic drones get used!

Bit of a holdover from old rules this. There's always a countdown....it just wasnt mentioned :) Clarified.

Since the chat system can sometimes be a bit lagged, or since some people can get itchy trigger fingers, is it okay if we lock the CCP staff member at the start of the fight, so we know for sure when the burst has gone off and the fight has started?

Also, genuine game mechanics question--does an ECM burst break a lock that's not yet formed? In other words, if it takes me four seconds to lock you, if I'm two seconds into locking you, and you successfully jam me with an ECM burst, am I still going to get lock two seconds later?

Welcome to the World Of Space Craft alliance tournement. I think it is a dumb idea to take out the sheild and armor logitics modules. That type of logistics is a big part of the game and it should very well be a big part of the alliance tournement. i am very dissapointed

heh if cloaking was allowed you could like kill a frigate on other team then have everyone cloak and wait til time runs out
or if team you're facing only fielded 99 points f.i. and you fielded 100 you wouldn't have to kill anything ;O

VICTORY

regarding implants, i think f.i. the powergrid/cpu implants are awesome to have, make more setups possible, and not being able to have attribute implants would suck for my awseome SP hoarding :(

And I almost forgot.

*4*
If the final blow upon a ship is delivered by a team mate is the point value of the ship added to the opponent score?

1. Alliances can field up to ten pilots on the battlefield. A team captain must be announced beforehand. All alliance members are eligible to compete in any match in which their alliance is taking part, subject to all applicable rules; teams do not have to remain the same between games.

Place & Tactics

1. All T1 and T2 modules are allowed, with the following exception:

-snip-

3. All T1 and T2 ammunition and missiles are allowed. Faction ammunition and missiles are allowed.

-snip-

9. Cap Boosters are allowed.

---

Cap Boosters are T1 and T2 modules, right? Why are they specifically called out? Are you referring to Cap Booster Charges? But wouldn't they be included in ammunition? What am I missing? If they need to be called out, then wouldn't scrips and crystals also need to be called out?

Reposting the unanswered half of this question, as it'd make a lot of things easier if a game mechanic designed to be synchronized to server state on the same server where we'll be fighting were the unambiguous start of the match, as opposed to an event originating in an entirely-separate chat server.*

--P

*: Yes, that sentence is probably needlessly complex. Normally, I'd fix it, but I need to get back to work right now.

I know that they aren't mentioned in the first few post, but is ECM allowed or no? If it is this is gonna be kind of annoying :/ (please forgive me for not reading through the whole thread)
