Thread: Duel Night; Starsider
), I caved and said I'd go ahead and organise duel nights on Starsider, should the interest be there. Now, I'm in Deepspace regularly, like everynight and I see people up there, but I think the task is to encourage some of the newer players etc.
, but I really wish to organise this so other people can goout and organise this even when I'm not there. In fact, I'd like to be as free from responcibility as possible. I like organising and pvp, but I'm not one for individual disputes or resolving them Some thoughts on how things have been done and some ideas for future improvement--
1.) Let people set up their own duels. As the administrator of duel nights, act more as a record keeper than a referee. Allow duelists to challenge each other to matches and set rules (e.g. missiles, distance to start, etc). That really eliminates most of the problems with relics and RGIs--if a pilot doesn't want to face one of those down, he doesn't have to.
2.) Definitely do it in different types of terrain--asteroid fields, wrecked space stations, active space stations, and so forth. I can give you some suggestions, if you'd like--I tend to like running PvP events in a wide variety of terrain, if you hadn't noticed. 
(Events I organized included Trade Federation wreckage at Naboo, the frigate at Endor, Station-Star 1 at Tatooine, and Solar Phoenix 2 in the Karthakk system, plus the wrecked Rebel station and derelict corvette at Yavin IV. Regular open space is boring. )
3.) Bets could be handled by either a third party or just trust people to be honest among themselves. :: shrug :: I prefer not to have organized betting, but that's just me.
4.) Heavy RP on this--I'll see if I can dig up some of Cody's stuff when he used to run it.
5.) Spectators--let's try to bring a yacht or two out to wherever the duel night is being held.
6.) Time--run it for an hour, or maybe two hours. I like Thursday nights, personally, but I'll try to attend whenever it is held if I can. Friday nights are often busy, though.
Have the betting take place on the yachts... and do massive advertisements in the large cities prior to launch (for spectators, etc)...
Tuesday Night Fights
Thursday Night Fights
You know what would be cool too? A NASCAR style PVP event. Crafted Components Only - though impossible to enforce.
Oh another idea for the events -
An escort event...
1 POB + 2-4 Escorts vs 2-3 Raiders.
No missiles for the raiders.
Love the idea of a duel night and I would be more than happy to participate.
As far as the fear of component decay I am sure that respawn will not be as rushed as in the mass battles so there should be plenty of time for a trip to DS.

Exactly. Plenty of time for repairs, and with the high number of Rebels running around, most of us would be more than willing to /vrepairother any Imperial or privateer pilots with blown out parts to let them limp to DS.
I guess we 'could' start it up like Fightclub
First rule of Starfighter Club...Don't..er..hang on. Do talk about Starfighter Club...
Second rule of Starfighter Club..er...you know the drill.
Oh and... NO EPULSE!!!!
I'd definately be interested in participating in this. 
I've been dying to see if my junker X-Wing can actually compete with the Higher quality top of the line ships.
