Hey Guys n Gals. Heres an idea from Archon... Strangely it popped into my head in the shower O.O....
Faction Attack ~ Easter Idea
On one day during the Easter Holidays etc.... We could have a big combat scenario..
The Idea starts with Shutting off the MV for a few hours during the event, and use the mv servers for this event.
Okay here it goes.
A Large Map, Maybe somewhat similar to the size of Nicea. Each Faction has 3 Capital Planets. (Shipyard, Mod Planet, Resource Planet). In the outskirts of the system.
In the centre is a large star with clusters of planets around them. (20 Planets all up). There will be 10 Flag Planets.
((The Map will be designed by a player or admin perhaps?))
GOAL:
The Aim of this is to lead your Faction to Victory. You Must Capture all 10 Flag Planets for it to end. (Also a time limit, say 2 horus or more?)
Reward:
Bragging Rights
Some of you might say, hey the mv is there for this, The mv is basically bare. and if it had a set time and an event, it will draw more people to the game.
Plz Post Comments Etc....

Cool idea...I'm gonna go make a map of that now since I love using the editor (reason I don't use it much is becuase I have no creativity, and the three systems I designed were the only creative systems I could make...don't want to make a boring normal system)...

Well...you can make the map, then go into editor's server, build the planets yourself, then go back to editor and save the results....

Yeah, just figured that out lol. I'm finalizing the map as I type.
EDIT: I've finished building the map, and am most of the way done with setting up the ICC home cluster. I'm gonna put the file up so anyone can take a look at it and possibly help me fix the objectives...I've never been able to get those right. Gonna be gone for the next hour or so (getting back around 3:00 mountain time) so I'll resume work then...someone please help with the objectives...

Not bad of an idea Archon. If I get lucky, I'll show up in a wimpy frigate maybe. =P I honestly don't know.... But, I'll try to be of some assistance if I can. BTW: I'm sticking to UGTO. =P

Thanks for all the replies & Comments.... can we get an admin to look at this idea tho? and are we able to go ahead with the idea?
No they wont. If It was some sort of Tournment and idea. its anyone's game. if your relating to the mv. Its because, in the mv there more Kluth Players etc...

BAsically anyone with a decent server could hold it... That could be asking a bit much though. In the case of the MV being shut down, i'd think that unlikely, i haven't seen that happen EVER for a special event. It would be a possiblity of a server being opened up for the event, but there has not been 1 voice to say yet that it is even being considered.

I'm not particularly feeling a large desire to fiddle with servers and whatnot on my Easter break.. especially since whenever I do, something seems to break.
Is the map you're looking for something more or less like Beta?...

Okay, I'm just about done w/ what I think you're asking for in your post....I have the map all made, am finalizing the buildings (that's why I'm here, have to wait a bit before I can switch sides to fix a few minor mistakes like oh, not having enough tech for a luth station ...course I'm sure if this were an event some of you would want me to leave it in ). I'd just like to know if A: You liked my map and B: Is this being considered as an event anytime in the future?
Here it is, the semi-final version...what do you think (and more importantly what's wrong with it?)
EDIT: Okay then...here's a link to a site where you can dl the map...click on the download button...odd
