Seeing how successful the long running system PvP (AI v AI) is going, managed by Uomoz: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=4187.0 (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=4187.0), I thought I would propose something slightly different:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the signup for the 50 kilocred classic battle royal is now open! This winner take all tournament will pit customized fleets worth of to 50,000 credits each against each other in a single elimination, AI on AI tournament bracket! The number of rounds will be determined by the number of entries, but all battles will be streamed LIVE from http://www.twitch.tv/thaago (http://www.twitch.tv/thaago)! Hang out with your Starfarer friends, chat, and compete for bragging rights and a sig medal.
The Rules:
Create a fleet worth up to 50,000 credits - weapons are free, but the hulls and regular/veteran/elite levels will cost you as follows:

SHIP'S CREW VETERANCY COSTS:
Spoiler
To know the cost of a certain crew level on a certain ship, multiply the ship factor for the veterancy factor needed:
- Fighter: 5
- Frigate: 10
- Destroyer: 20
- Cruiser: 40
- Capital: 80
. REGULAR: 50
. VETERAN: 100
. ELITE: 300
How to sign up:
Post on the thread below your fleet's name and any title you want associated with it. Then EMAIL me at myname [at] gmail [dot] com a roster of your ships and all the variant files attached (please put Starfarer in the subject) - I won't be messing with them so make sure you get them right! I recommend Trylobot's editor.
How it will work:
I will make a bracket with everyone who signs up, then post a time for it all to go down! The winner of each battle will advance with all ships repaired to fight other winners. Losers will be out unless popular demand wants a losers bracket as well for 2cd place! If there are too many battles then I'll split the event into multiple days, but all battles will be recorded automatically so everyone can watch later.
Lets get this tournament started!
