Space rugby

Space rugby

Space rugby is a team-based event involving tractoring a can across an arena. This template is based on JohnPlayerNotSpecial's event concept, their AAR goes into more detail. Most of the information on this page is from John's posts.

Objectives

• Participants are divided into two teams of equal numbers, and one player in each team is assigned the 'hauler' role.
• The hauler tractors a jetcan from the centre of the field to their team's goalpost to score a point.
• The defenders attack other defenders or ECM the hauler to prevent them from reaching their goal.

Set up for the host

• Anchor secure containers at the warp-in point, the centre point and the two goal posts to give players an idea of the field's proportions.
• The warp-in point must be 150 or more km from the centre point (to allow for warping between the two).
• Each of the goalposts must be 50 km from the centre point (players can't warp between posts since they're 100 km apart).
• Haulers warp to the centre point at zero before the match begins. Defenders warp to the warp-in point, and then warp to the centre when the match begins.
• The host jetcans something at the centre point at the beginning of the match (for example, 1 unit of trit). The two haulers attempt to lock the can up and activate their tractor beam modules and move towards their respective goalposts with their can.

Requirements

• The defender fits need some skills trained to level 1:

1. Small Hybrid Turret
2. Energy Pulse Weapons
3. Electronic Warfare
4. High Speed Maneuvering
5. Hull Upgrades

Fitting

• A  Nereus and a  Velator fitting are provided
• Nereus fit
• Velator fit

Additional information

• Make sure there are no OOC toons or non-uni players near the field while you're activating your smartbombs, you'll get Concorded.
• The event needs a minimum of six players, with three on each side.
