New fleet tournament (extension till 14th june)
Moderators: th15, Moderators
Interesting twist for a tourney! Initial impression is that it appears to be a good balance between the groups.
Request please - can you keep a history log at the very front of your post? That way for people that have already designed their fleet (like me), they will know when a rule or build value has changed and what to go looking for. It would just have to be a summary to alert people to go check the update details and make modifications to their ships.
eg.
April 30 - Aegis section HP lowered
which would alert everybody to go check for this change - otherwise you will get people that make ships ahead of time to test concepts (and end up keeping them because they work) and when they go to submit them they will then find out they are illegal.
One question that came to mind - eg. I select Alien Tech so cost of other PD (non point beam) & Navy group items are now doubled. However the railgun is available in both Navy & Long Range Projectiles groups. I would expect that I could go to whatever group (sort of treat it like a faction) I wanted to purchase my railguns. So I would get it at the LRP cost of 3 points rather than the Navy cost of 6 points. Your take on this type of situation where an item is available from two or more different groups for different prices due to group picks?

Standard math rounding rules for decimals since BSF Maker won't take non-integer values for HP values? Wouldn't want to get dinged for rounding (for example) 99.5 to 100 where you judge the ship later and think it should be 99.Lloyd16 wrote:Think i will make aegis deflectors weaker by lowering hp to a quarter. So if you have a section at 800 hp, and you aegis deflect it, it becomes 200 hp. you can add to sections, but only a quarter of normal amount per point.

I forgot to mention that if i get an uneven number of enties i will submit a fleet, for someone else to moderate, to make the numbers better.
If the fleet is needed It will be on the navy group. also i need to know what group you will be, as enties are 1 week before submission, and everyone has to know what everyone else is using as their group. It adds something knowing what all your enemies have.

I'll moderate your entry, or have Daxx do it. He seems pretty trustworthy and active runnin his own tourney and all. I have no problem with anyone who runs a tourney entering there own ships. There going to all the trouble of runnin it so they should be expected to enter themselves.
I'll enter this one when the rules are finalized, I really like the differnt groupings you have going. Not to mention how differnt this rules set is from the others, but still remains simple and within reason. New is good...

If it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it

Wow. This is the quietist tournament i think i will ever see. Here to remind you people that the deadline is for entering the tournament. If you want to, you can send me your entry by pm, so you are put on the list after the deadline(i will set at 9 pm GMT on set day(currently 9:20 here))
state your entry in this layout
Name Fleet name Group
if i do not have all 3 parts, i will not count your entry (unless people have no problem with a late/incomplete enties). After the deadline, you will have 1 week to adjust/build your fleet to best counter the enemies groups (e.g. if most enties are alien tech, you might decide to make your fleet good against tachyons and aegis deflectors.)
note that if a lot of people send me pm enties, or a lot of people ask, i will move the deadlines forward
