Basic Rules
Only those who are on-time are allowed to participate.
Participants must be on their nation's team unless they can make a claim to be unaligned in which case they may choose to fight for Grey.
You may not start fighting until the host signals the start of the battle - this includes the 15 minute period prior to the planned starting time.
You may not return to the battle sector after you have left except to observe from a healthy distance in a bus.
No running from the asteroid field.
The last team standing wins.

i may have died quick but shit i was still there ffs.

So you were. Sorry about that.

Yeah go Itani!
Sorry ARF couldn't make it to this one. I was helping a friend move.

Did someone bring a Trident?

Nope. AFAIK nobody has finished building one yet. The parts are very large and apparently they require a lot of resources to craft. Perhaps the next war though. Like I said way back in January when we thought they were imminent, they will be allowed for at least the first NW somebody brings one. Depending on how it works out they may be allowed all the time, or maybe only once a month, or who knows. It will depend on how they work out and whether we still think it is fun when they are around.

Long run, when they get their shields and turrets functioning properly, I think we might see a separate event for capship battles, or perhaps only every fourth NW would allow them or something. But I think that a capship battle would be different enough that it would be better in its own event with its own rules. The whole one-life thing doesn't seem like it would work so well in a capship fight - the fighters would kill themselves off leaving only the cappies behind. Unless the cappies weren't counted as participants, in which case actually killing them would be useful but unnecessary...

It will be very like the Deneb's Skirmishes... allowing players to Repair/Reload without leaving sector, and finally give in a good use for bombers... Keep a parked rag inside your cappie until all enemy's fighters are killed, then go bomb the enemy's cappie...

And as cappies are implemented, think of them as a larger and safer moth, either with or without shields. The major change is allowing RR. On all other aspects, it is just another ship.

And most likely its pilot will dock in a RagCracker...
