We're up to 17 19 Registrants!

Tentatively calling it:

Cutoff for sign up will be this Friday (End of August 16th) OR 32 Participants (Would be a lot!), whichever comes first.

Initial Fleet + Variant submissions deadline will be next Thursday (End of August 22nd)


And yes, only content will be base game (vanilla) and Ship/Weapon Pack will be used in this tournament.

Some other mods the tournament will use: Fleet Tester (for building and testing), AI Battles (required for fight, participants do not need it), LazyLib (library mod), GraphicsLib (graphics and library mod).



edit:
added deadline information on intial post

clarified technical details about submissions

There's still time! Sign up using the link in the OP, and join the discord. You will need to be somewhat familiar with the game and comfortable editing a text file to build your fleet.

This should be entertaining. I like the quick format and tight restrictions, and hope we see lots of cool vanilla fleets :)

Initial Fleet Submission is still same
https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20190823T2359&p0=1440&msg=Fleet%20Submission%20Deadline

Some clarifications in laymans terms / a sort of F.A.Q.:

Fleet.csv may be revised between matches - participants can change personalities, add/remove/change variants as much as they like!
20 Variants is simply the maximum.
Participants may submit fewer than 20 variants.
Only Unskinned, Cosmetic Skins, Luddic Path (LP) Skins, and Pirate (P) skins are allowed. Brawler (TT) and Sunder (U) are skins for this purpose and not allowed.

Stations, editing modules on modular ships, Derelicts are not allowed, ye cheeky squirrels.
Fleet and variants will be reviewed given reasonable time to check rule conforming/that they are error free. ^_^

Time in between rounds (matches) will probably be 2-3 days, streamer schedules depending.
Sharing fleet/variant information with fellow participants is allowed, though fellow contestants may not necessarily be willing to tell. :P

All but the Finals will be Best of 1s.
Finals (and possibly semi-finals?) will be Best of 3s

Admiral AI is not perfect, disasters and brilliances can happen, spontaneously!

Streams and VODs will be in at least 720p. If you're interested in Streaming, contact Astraltor#1119 via Discord!

I have a question about the capital ship rule - is that solely determined by classification or logistical profile?

Looking at the doom for example.

It has been brought to my attention that Militarized Subsystems halves the effective DP for any ship with civilian hullmod.

Emergency declaration that Militarized Subsystems Hullmod is hereby disallowed.
