Thats right! the long awaited MOVIE WARS will be happening! on Sunday August 11th at 2pm EST

here's the rules-

No fleet gear. At all, of any kind.

No consoles that give a passive power are allowed.

no consoles that give an active power are allowed (unless where noted)

deflectors/engines/shields- no set items of any kind, no fleet items of any kind.

No console/weapon set items of any kind!

no deployables of any kind for either side (except where noted)

No doffs!!!!

the idea is to have fun using an appropriate era ship selection. please keep that in mind when selecting your bridge officer powers!


we'll meet at drozona space starting around 130pm est to establish teams, first match will be roughly around 2pm.

heres the MOVIE WARS, ship list (only tier 5 or fleet versions are allowed)-the list includes all ships seen in ANY of the star trek movies to date. but only their allowed tier 5/fleet versions. so no oberth, or connie at this time will be allowed.

if i've missed any ships from any of the movies let me know which ship and which movie.

each ship will be listed if it can use its console or not. if its not listed, it cant be used.


feds-
Nebula
Akira (may use torp console)
saber
steamrunner
soverign (its regent gas console thingy whos name escapes me now..... no not theta radation the other one)
galaxy (saucer seperation)
defiant (may use the quad cannons)
Norway (olso or whatever its called)
excelsior (transwarp console allowed)
millennium falcon (points if you know which movie this is from)

klingons-
D7/k'tinga
b'rel

Romulans-

valdore
Scimitar (may use scorpion fighters and shoot while cloaked console only)


weapons-

all feds MUST use phasers, and can also use photon torps or quantum torps.

all klingons MUST use disruptors and can also use photon torps or quantum torps.

all romulans MUST use disruptors and can also use photon and plasma torps only.

remember! the goal is to have fun!

see ya'll on sunday.


PLEASE let peeps know this in game, i wont be on much and the word must be spread!

    As much as I love the Norway class, MK, there's no such thing ingame yet :)

    Sounds like a bloody good excuse to buy a fleet Saber, though...

    I might be able to make it to this one.

    I encourage everyone who is intimidated by PvP to try this out - the equipment parity rule really makes these events accessible to all comers.

    The reason for that is because it's the 'movies', not 'the entire franchise'.

    I understand the reason, but it still limits non fed factions to 2 ship options vs the 10 the feds have.

    this particular event only allows the feature films.

    other events ive run have been series themed (dominion wars- ds9 era, next generation wars- next generation era, tos wars- tos era etc etc)

    so far, dominion wars and movies wars have been the most popular (they allow the most ship choices)

    that ability never was seen/shown in any of the movies, only 1 episode of TNG, and since this is a movie themed event and not the TNG themed event... it cant be used.

    It was fun. The tractor beam mines got annoying, and I definetly missed my tech doffs in the D7 but was fun overall. A shame there isn't a PvP queue that prevents universal consoles and Doffs. It was nice to only see KDF, Fed, and Rom ships in a PvP match. Felt kinda weird (refreshing) not to have bugs/recluses in a match.
