Apocalyptic Asteroid Event (mining+fight)

Jun 09, 2017 Feloche link
Apocalyptic asteroid event: Big PVE coop event, gathering miners and fighters.

Gameplay: At the end of a countdown a huge moving asteroid will pop randomly in one of the closest empty sectors from the targeted station.
The asteroid(s) will be surrounded by an important hive escort
Number of enemies depends on the nomber of players

The goal is to locate and destroy it (or deviate maybe?) to save a station from the risk of collision.

Needs several miners with kinetics beams (suggestion) https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/33891
To slow down the asteroid and heat him (with regular beams)

The miners also have to: dodge the corners of the rotating asteroid + some hive pewpew; keep eyes on the distance and follow the roid.

WIN :The asteroid could be destructible only beyond a specific level of heat
There could also be some bots trying to cool it with a cryobeam
The asteroids could only be destroyed by synch. shots from caps
LOOSE: Depend on a contdown until its too late to save the station ?
- Maybe if the players don't destroys roid, the targeted station will be closed for a moment or something like that
REWARDS
- cryobeam who refreshes asteroids ?
- temporarly lower prices in the saved station/faction for the participants?

3 different concepts :
1) Several flat shaped asteroids with a straight trajectory
Lowest speed but rotating on themselves
2) A comet with a circular trajectory and faster than the first one
3) A big hive crafted object with the shape of a submarine mine or something like that.
maybe it could also pew pew and use a boost from its tops ?

Thank you for reading all this, I hope my bad english didn't make your eyes bleed, sorry for long post i tryed to reedit and make it shorter i hope you like the idea.

+1 to game-assisted events

+1 to the general idea of this

-1 to splitting the event among nations. Maybe one of the "abandoned" stations would be a better target.

Thank you again Luxen ! I just made some modifications, also i thought it could be safer in nation space with less risk to be ruined.
