Leviathon battle Saturday

Since no one reads it on the Role Playing forum, I might as well post here. We're going to need between 8 and 16 people to try this strategy out, so anyone who wants to participate, post here with your ingame name, and what squad you want to be in.

1) Divebombers. 4 people all in Orion Convoy Guardian hornets. They will probably want to equip quadruple sunflares, as they don't take any energy and many can be fired off in one bombing run.

2) Hive exterminators. 4 players in whatever ship they are best at annihiliating many hard bots in. Personally, I would take a rag with triple sunflares and double chaos swarms.

3) Queen annihilators. 4 players flying, (if possible,) proms with double guas and a megaposi.

The first 4 people who post and say they want to be in a specific squad, get to be in it. Until we have four people for each task-force, no additions will be made to one that is already full. I will reserve the right to decide group commanders. I will also take volunteer 'scouts' who to find the leviathon. If anyone wants to volunteer, include it in your post. Take note that scouts can also participate in the battle once it starts.

The time table is as follows in GMT:
6:00- scouts are dispatched to find the leviathon
6:30- scouts report leviathon location to message board
6:50- all participants report to Sedina D14 and message me to get your final group assignments
6:55- everyone will get into their proper ships. It would help if people could have at least 2 backup ships of the type they will be flying already in D14. Everyone should then join channel 293. Group commanders will position themselves at 3000m distance, and within 500m of me. Pilots will fly to within 50m of their group commander.
7:00- at the signal, all three squads will jump into the leviathon sector and carry out their missions:

Group #1) Continue bombing the leviathon until it is at roughly 30% health. Once it has reached that limit, return to D14 and await further orders.

Group #2) Kill as many bots as you can.

Group #3) Take out all 9 queens.

7:**- Once all 9 queens have been destroyed, the queen-hunting group will convert themselves into a second dive-bombing squad under the direction of their group leader. The exterminator squad will continue to target the bots, particularly the ones that try to heal the leviathon.

7:30ish- *KABOOOM* When the leviathon dies, all participants will report to Sedina D14 for XP rewards, (any guide care to help out here? Please?). Yeah, we still don't have a guide helping. We may also have a party, (in the form of a gigantic buswar in G5 or something.)

Anyway, hope to see everyone Saturday, so please please please post. Also, if you want to be a group commander, please say that in your post.

Reply! Someone! Anyone!
It's really easy! Like this:

Name: Calder
Prefered squadron: Dive-bombers
I'll leave other people to be the squad commanders, and I won't be able to help scout.

See? It's that easy. Someone, please post or we'll have to cancel this tomorrow. *cry* *cry*

Person: No offence to you but why did you make a new post in the general forums? This is a Role Playing event. It should be here in the role playing forums. And there is no point to have two posts about the same subject.

The guides will just move it when they see it. But i suggest you just erase your thread and join this thread. Unless you have a reason for making a new thread. And if so i would like to hear it.

I've already posted in the in station new tab so everyone knows about the event. I've also told people to look at the role playing forums for more info.

And its SUNDAY not Saturday.

Not to discourage new strategies or anything, but there is a minor detail you should know before you try that one out.

Queens as well as all other bots respawn every 5 minutes or so, so killing them doesn't do much good. The goal that worked well when we did it before was to have groups dedicated to luring the queens and hive bots away from the levi so that the bombers have clear shots. With communication it works pretty well.

It's a long-standing myth that "nobody reads the Role Playing forums". It's just not true at all.

The Hive battle will be on for tomorrow at 7:00 PM, GMT.

I won't be able to attend the battle today, so can a Guide make sure that the Capital Ships are spawned at the right time.
