This is a great competition and eliminates some of the problems from the last one. Count me in of course.

SJ, if you like, I'll referee this one as well. And that inlcudes the consent of those participating as well.

Post by **DaveK** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 8:47 pm

Any one made a 3D map of the maze?

Post by **DaveK** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 8:48 pm

ps - count me in

Busch · Post by **Busch** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 8:49 pm

SJ,
Please address fueling/refueling/repairing/rearming issues in the ROE's, since they're a bit cut-n-paste from the most recent event.

pps - it will need some very new tactics - circling, manouvering won't work (not that it does for me anyway

). I need a volunteer to see if missiles work in such a confined space! I strongly suspect that they won't!

ppps: general rule 4 - does it have to be through the entrance?

Cindy · Post by **Cindy** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:02 pm

I'll try to make it, but it depends what date you decide on.

Missiles will work excelent since your opponent can not out run them unless he has a map of the Cave maze and knows all the wide spaces where you can go fast! Most like he/she will crash trying to out run a missile!....

Considering the confined space, Rule No.7 is probably moot. I'll stick with my 800 units ... and, about Rule No.8, all I gotta say is, "Awww, shucks. It would've been interesting to see somebody try it." Other than that, count me in.

I will volunteer to be missile and gun fire again so count me in:D.

DennyMala · Post by **DennyMala** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 7:09 am

Count me in of course. Gotta hand back the title to someone after all.

SeeJay · Post by **SeeJay** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:05 am

I'm thinking about Marvins objection to Rule No.8 (Deploy Repair Station)

I agree, it might be fun to see if anyone dares to use it.

Anyone else in for allowing it?

KingArthur · Post by **KingArthur** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:45 pm

As I Missed the Intial LMS in Favour of a "Turkey Dinner with ALL The Trimmings" Count Me In.lol.

As For Deploying Repair Stns, I Would be Against It, as it would be in Contradiction of the Intent and Spirit of the Competion. "Live or Die By Your Skills Alone". Carry a C3 and Hope you get the Time For it to "Heal" your Ship.

As "we" saw with LMS #1, deploying repair/refueling stations either prolonged the event, or acted like a "death magnet". I support I-Mike's posture on living-dieing by your individual skills and equipment. Trying to keep it fair for all.

Post by **DaveK** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:46 pm

is it really big enough in the sapphire asteroid cave for a deployed station?

Edit: Yes it is! It also looks big enough for missiles as well, though I'm not so sure about 8 excals bouncing around the place!

Sounds like it's going to be fun! Less like "crowded house" and more like "you are in a featureless twisty passageway" - how can I keep an eye out in six directions at once!

:P:P

You can run but you can't hide ... that is, unless we all turn off our HUDs.

KingArthur · Post by **KingArthur** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:43 pm

Wouldn't that be SOMETHING! Firing Blind and No Missile Lock.

Post by **DaveK** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:05 pm

Do you mean that's not how I supposed to be doing it already?

For "run" read "crawl" and I might not be able to "hide" but I sure can easily be "lost"! (left/right dyslexic and cave mazes are an interesting mixture)

If there are a lot of us, getting in at the start is going to be interesting!

Good point. I think I might be a few minutes late.

I tried to do as the "Last galactic fighter" did and fire while I spin on all axis, but alas not enough rounds go in the right direction:D:P!

Count me in and I'll try to "count" time better this time.

This is because we have yet to discover a frame in EM capable of "death blossom" as it is called in the historical film. It was a true story right?
