7 * 2 = 36 ?????

BackSlash is kindly hosting a test map for a possible FleetWars Ladder Event. The details will be published at a future date. But for now there are a few rules to follow when playing the map, and a brief description.

There are 7 factions you can choose from when playing. 6 player factions and one Observer faction for people wanting to watch the fights and not participate.

There are two seperate entries for each main faction. This enables you to fight as UGTO vs UGTO 2 or as K'luth vs K'luth 2..
The home planets for each faction are restricted to that factions tech only. This is intentional in the interest of balance. Also we request that no-one tries to interfere with the currently built planets. They are there for modding and spawning your ships only - not capturing or building.

Near each home planet is a CombatZone wormhole which leads to the central combat area. These are one way. Once you go through, you will not be able to get back out and it is then a fight to the death.
There are various hazards within the central zone to make the map more interesting, and to help teams develop a better sense of strategy. The teams that can use these to best advantage will often come out ahead.
The combatzone is intentionally small. It is desgned primarily with destroyers and cruisers in mind. You will understand why when the full rules are finalized and published

During fleet battles we ask you not to interfere or jump into the central zone. If you die during a fight then you are not allowed to jump back in until the fight is over. This ONLY applies furing fleet vs fleet contests. The last person standing wins for their fleet. Otherwise feel free to test your skills vs other players in normal duels.

If you have any bug reports or feedback about this map please post below.

I hope you enjoy it.

Ship Selection
The numbers on each team wont be fixed. It can vary by up to 25% but with a minimum team size of three people.
So you can have a team of 3 playing a team of 4, or a team of 15 figthing a team of 20.

The total points a team gets to spend is decided on the number of people in the smaller team multiplied by 5.

The team of 15 would have a total of 75 points to spend at 5 points average each member.
The team of 20 would get 75 points to spend at an average of 3.75 points per member.

Detailed point costs...

Scout = 1 point. (K'luth = 2)
Frigate = 2 points (K'luth = 3)
Light Supply = 2 points (+2 for reload)
Destroyer = 4 Points (K'luth = 5)
Heavy Supply = 3 points (+4 for 2 reloads)
Cruiser = 6 points
Dread = 9 points (Ganglia, +2 points for the reload.)
Station = 12 points (+2 per reload)

This will mean that you would expect a team to use mainly destroyers or cruisers. All K'luth ships will cost an additional point up to cruiser class. This is necessary to balance the smaller vessels.
A ship with a reload devices cost 2 points extra per reload.

You are allowed to mod, but these are limted to those allowed by your chosen factions Factories.

The league would be done on a ladder system. Each fleet starts with 1000 points when joining the ladder. These will be won and lost depending on how well your fleet fares.

For equally matched teams, the winner will gain 5% of the total points of the losing team and the loser will lose 5% of thier points. So at 1000 points one team would win 50 points making a total of 1050, and the other team would go down to a total of 950.

We have decided to include a modifier to reward the low ranking teams for trying to take on the large teams and not lose so much.
The actual points calculation formula is as follows
(LoserTotal*0.05)*(LoserTotal/WinnerTotal) = Total points lost/gained
If a low ranked fleet beats a team with double their score, they would get double the reward. If the high ranked team wins, they will get half the reward. This means that to maintain the top position fleets will need to work for it.

For a duel to be classified as Official and to be entered onto the ladder, a Moderator needs to be present as either observing or participating.
