Idea: PvP Event - Dominion Wars

February 05 2013
Something about the combination of insomnia and large volume, rapid-fire improvisational deadline writing I've been doing led to a slightly brillz idea, as I was lying awake unable to sleep tonight.

Dominion Wars PvP!
On one team, we stack up as many Dreadnoughts, Attack Ships, Galors, and Heavy Escort Carriers as we can muster, and on the other - joint Federation and Klingon task forces.

Assuming Dominion and Cardassian ships are limiting, whatever imbalance we have in numbers or skill handicap can be evened out relatively easily with the freely available and widely owned Chel Gretts.

So who's in with me? Shall we set a time?

I suppose it's worthwhile getting a poll of what rare Dominion and Cardassian ships are around the fleet, for us to start building a roster, since it seems like that's going to be a limiting factor.

As an owner of a Dreadnought and a Heavy Escort Carrier, maybe we might consider forming a core Dominion group, to take on all comers en queue. Since there's an element of historicism here, I'd like representation on the Dominion side approximating the relatively even distribution of ships depicted in the last couple of seasons of DS9. I'm open to debate on this detail, depending on how much interest there is.

...


And yes, one can't help but feel this is perhaps the 25th century equivalent of being an American Civil War (or whatever conflict people bothering doing this with) reenactment - but I'm game if you are!

So set your Polaron cannons and Spiral Wave disruptors to maximum, because victory is life, and the Founders don't settle for a draw.

EDIT: Let's say, trial run this weekend? Early Saturday evening (EST), to accomodate our UK representatives?

My bug it is!!!
The more dominion we have, the better:)
Great idea Ereiid! This would be an epic battle. Maybe make a quasi tournament out of it. Start with ten players each side. Then lowest contributors of the losing team gets eliminated. Teams get rebalanced after every two rounds.... We should talk and make this wonderful thing happen:)

Traull, as part of the admiralty, I defer to your leadership and experience on the matter. If you want to come up with scheduling, balancing schema, brackets, rules or whatever, please - take the ball and run!

With any luck, this may be the sort of event we revisit toward the end of the Dominion lockbox cycle, and perhaps have more Dominion ships available.

I mean - it does occur that this is about as close to a third faction as we've had in the game thus far. Let's use it!

My little bug's cannons stand charged and ready however I've got a Chinese New Year dinner to go to Saturday evening so wouldn't be able to make it. Is it possible to have it earlier in the afternoon on Saturday or maybe have a few different time slots for this event?

PvP? Dominion War era ships? Res is there. I only ever fly a Defiant anyways, so I can get behind this.

You're sure we can't shove you in a Chel Grett? Even temporarily?

Even if I offer you all the candy in the back of this windowless van?

Well, I was gonna inaugurate tonight with a test drive.

Balancing is clearly going to be a lil' trickay, hence the feelout. So I'll be signing on in a bit to maybe start seeing how things come together for the UK timezone.
