Had an idea for an event - what do people think.
Idea is for 1 side to escort a ship - maybe a light tranny from one side of server to another, the other 2 fleets try and kill the tranny.
The story line that i thought of was that an ICC Shield scientist who had been researching the KLuth cloak had found a way of using cloak technology with ICC shields. In addition Because they now knew exactly how the cloak worked the ICC would now have a massive combat edge. Imagine a cloaked Assault dread with it's normal shields being able to locate cloaked kluth ships and fire on them.
For obvious reasons, the KLuth need to stop this scientist escaping - it woud wipe them out.
BUT the cloak scientist is actually working for UGTO and is heading for UGTO forces to defect - UGTO need to guard him and get him safely back to a safe planet.
ICC can't afford to let this ship get away - if there scientist gets to the UGTO the UGTO could have cloaked ships with shields and their massive armour.
Thought Ugto to defend as tend to be more UGTO on.
Thoughts?

Doesn't matter if you get the cloak tech. Your reactors couldn't put out enough juice to keep the cloak active for more than 5 sec without melting down.

Interesting. Has potential. Almost no way they could keep us from destroying a tranny. Maybe a better ship to escort is in order. But I do like the concept.

Thats just back story and doesnt really mater - it could be stop the ugto ship stealing all the KLuth cheese - the event would be the same. Kluth and ICC have to stop the UGTO fleet escorting one fairly weak ship from one side of a server to another. KLuth and ICC like the cheese and want to stop the UGTO getting it all
Take the point about the tranny - I think the ship probably needs to be able to just stand say 1 alpha from a station or an assualt class dread and get away so might need to go with something like a dessy. Maybe we try different ships to see if say a siphon can take them out in an alpha?

Got to find it first 
I was thinking that kluth / icc would know that it would need to go through gates so would prob camp them. Ugto job then is to drive icc / kluth away from gate for long enough for escorted ship to go through.

I support this event, not because its a good idea but because I know how to win it without firing a shot.

yeah you would just cloke wait infront of it and sd when its udner you i vote it be an interdicter cruiser as many ugto as posible but theres a catch for the defenders (ugto) once your ship is destroyed or you jump out 3k from the dictor your outyou can say the ugto have nlimited ships to defend the VIP new ugto loging on can join but same rules apply

Sops: volunteer to be the tranny and then ctrl-d? or uncloak under him and let his escorts kill you? =P
perhaps if we could make a game object, like "intelligence" or "experimental tachyon drive" we could get a game of CTF or rabbit going.

Think a cruiser would stand a station SDing on top of it?
and now that WH has very limited range it would be tricky to do it. Maybe we just ban use of WH by UGTO for the event
