Sigma 17

Hybrid Event





OVERVIEW



Sitting in the distant system of Sigma-17, shrouded by the Kunashir Cloud, the valuable Planet Kurile continues to produce the fabled food-culture organisms. Three years ago, the Gas Miner's Guild wrested control of the planet from Samura, and in doing so have committed themselves to the world; A mistake they are soon to realize. The Corsairs have held an interest in the organisms found on the planet, the resources found there could greatly counteract the enduring hunger shared by their people. High Elder Montoya has decreed that the Barcelona moves on Kurile. The raiders are to be finally let loose on the blue pearl. The Elders command it.



On the other side of Sirius, the Outcasts grow ever increasingly frustrated. Reports have started coming in that Cryer Pharmaceuticals' new product Stabiline, while initially disregarded as fictional propaganda to try and dissuade Cardamine addicts, had actually proven to work to a degree. The very existence of this product is a bane to the Outcasts plan for revenge upon the houses and a great slight to their honor. Determined to cut this problem off at the root, the Outcasts have sent several strike wings to destroy Atka Station in the Sigma-17 system; the base where this dreaded product was first produced.



In an ominous twist of fate, both descendants of House Hispania find themselves in an unexpected reunion, and there can be only one result: bloodshed.

Events Team - Feedback Thread Posted by: Connor - 09-13-2020, 07:43 PM - Forum: Official Replies (8) If you'd like to join the Events Team shoot one of the guys on the list below a message and we'll talk from there.



I've made this thread so that the community can give feedback to me and the events team about how we're doing. At the moment we are testing the limits of both the server and what we can do as a team. We're trying to find out what is good and what is bad, what people enjoy or hate, what's far to OP or weak.



So far:



- Having strong shields is a no because it stops people from slowly chipping away at ships almost making them unkillable

- Making these events more RP related instead of having random things pop up.

- We need a better way on distributing rewards. Some events will have rewards but not all events will have rewards.

- Players tend to prefer PvP over PvE.



We have lots of things in mind. Currently we're looking at:



- Creating an event faction to base our events around giving some meaning to the events. Similar to the Cultist idea but something that's much more thought out and not "Hey we're stupidly OP"

- More PoB related events

- Trade/Smuggling events

- Puzzle/Riddle events

- More "Hunt the ship" events

- And a few more ideas



We have quite a lot of tools at our disposal as well so you'll hopefully see a variety of events.



The current team consists of:



@Connor

@Squad

@Unseelie

@Karst

@DarkTails

@Ice Princess

@Spectre

@Switchback

@EisenSeele



All other GMs and Lead Developers also join in every so often.



So yeah. We'd like to know what you think and if you guys have any ideas as well.



Please note: Official Story or Official Faction events are not done through the Events Team. They are all done through Story and the GM teams.

Sever Downtime Posted by: Unseelie - 09-12-2020, 02:29 PM - Forum: News and Announcements Replies (4) Provided all things go well, we intend to take the server down during the night to deploy a patch. This is expected to take 10-40ish minutes.
