Unless it's technically capable of escaping to FTL without physically moving (HW-style hyperspacing?) then that should be impossible. It can't escape if it can't move!
I believe the idea is to destroy the ship before they restore the engines. I was originally going to have that match be time limited, but decided that wasn't so fair since my frame rate isn't very good.

You can recolor things to your hearts content, be it sections, weapons, modules, or doodads.

Nobody's declared that they're joining a team yet, so dunno about starting team-specific threads. Would people prefer to choose teams, or should I just toss people in depending on when they joined?

You could just use something in-game as a timer, so your frame rate doesn't matter.

I think people like to pick their own, but either way is ok.

I think the teams should be sized so that there are a few alternates in case of inactives. It'd be really nice to not have to worry as much about them for once...

Teams are 8 people, same as the older mothership tournaments.

That's the general idea of the "Reserves" category... I can't really change team sizes without having to rework all the bosses. If worst comes to worst, I'd probably make an extension and some people would submit multiple ships to fill the blanks.

Peoples, start choosing teams!

i would be willing to join in (as whatever role) if it's okay that i'll have to take 10 days off starting on the 16th?

if that's okay, i'd like to join, else, i'll stay out.
