White Tiger III Space Engineers Server

Join us the weekend of June 12 @ 9am PT for a PVP challenge!

Players may design ships in creative mode using the server's mods. Tortoise Clan will paste any player's entries once blueprints are made available.

Small grids only. All ships designed for 1 pilot.

All contestants will receive some reward for participating.

Winners of each challenge will receive extra rewards.

Bonus rewards given to those that manufacture their own ships.

Even more bonus rewards given to those that transport other player's ships to the event locations.

Two types of arenas:
- Earth Atmosphere (near Spaceport Cobalt)
- Deep Space (near The Ebon Hand)

Three categories of small grids may enter:
- all energy weapons
- all conventional / ballistic weapons
- combination of both

1 vs 1 dogfights, or group vs group, depending on number of pilots available.

Players may enter an atmospheric ship and a space ship each. All players must use defense shields, as training with them is a theme for the event.

No more than 2 turrets max. Reduction in awards for every turret used (or perhaps, bonus if using only fixed weapons).

See below for details.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tortoise Clan has requested the citizens of White Tiger III form a civil militia to better defend against the Five Elements Clans!

Defense shields are easy to start using but significantly complex to master. Lasers add a new dynamic to how a ship can be engineered for destruction. We need to master these technologies quickly, before the Five Elements Clans start to do so themselves.

So that we can best prepare, we must train together. Design small grids that are reasonable in size and armament for a single player to manufacture and use. No oversized or overpowered grids will be allowed, admin being the ultimate judge.

Do not include uranium in any grid, or any other materials or objects not relevant to engaging in a dogfight (i.e., do not include a large cargo container of ingots or something like that). Exploiting the chance to paste a custom grid into the world will result in grid deletion and player removal from event. Maybe even using your base as a target for the event if admin is in bad enough mood. Admin will provide uranium necessary to power grid for the event.

Grids that ultimately survive the atmo and space challenges may stay in the world. If its a grid the player built themselves, they can have double their rewards.

Afterwards we will all have increased knowledge and experience with shields and lasers, and know better what sort of designs yield the best results. Then we will be in a much better position to join forces against the warlike factions invading the system.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event areas will be:

25km radius from Spaceport Cobalt, but only 4.5km height into the atmosphere. Entering Spaceport Cobalt's safe zone at any point counts as a loss during a running competition.

25km radius from The Ebon Hand spaceport. Same real with safezone - fly into it and it counts as a submission / loss.

Which event is first, and how long they run, will be determined by who shows up and when.

If pasting a grid from creative mode is needed, then all blueprints must be sent to Black Tortoise by June 10th.

Please comment below if you want to participate, which events (or both), you want to participate in, and the category of ship you want to enter (lasers, conventional, combo).
