I will be holding the ICE Tournament on January 8th, 2011. Game time will be at 9pm EST

This will be a 30k sector universe IF a beta version is stable at that point, or 20k sector universe if it is not.

This will be a 1500 turn game with 2 day turn bank

Corp size will be 8 players per corporation.

This will be a BYOC/DRAFT tournament. The drafts will only be used to equal out corp member amounts for corps that have less than 8, and will be chosen in sequence by the CEO's. Any remaining drafts after the corps are full will structure a draft corp if there are enough remaining.

Tournament rules, specific settings, and the host server will be posted at a later date.

Sign up for this tournament in this thread Thank you.

What does ICE stand for?

H

for January in ohio

.

Which 2 teams are playing or is this a round robin deal

You should choose draft or byoc. Those people not on a corp can form their own corp. I dont think its fair to the people who practice to take slackers in at the last minute.

H

It's open to any corp PH, as many corps that want to enter. There will be an end date set, and there will be a no megacorping rule. Plus the accounts will be pre-made with pw's sent to each player in the game to avoid any stragglers.

Helix, that's what this will be is a byoc/draft. If you have a full corp, you won't necessarily have to take anyone from the draft, or if you refuse to take anyone from the draft, then you can elect to play short handed. Also the end draft date will be set well in advance of the tournament date.
Edit: Also the corp size will be determined well in advance of the tournament date, at that point any new entries will be forced to create a new corp if they want to enter.

omg dont say that- ive had enough of ohio ice...

If for some reason Silver Wings hosts the tournament, which I hope this isn't the case, I, of course, would NOT not be playing. Hopefully I can find a fast, reliable host server and a sysop willing to go the extra mile to create the accounts in advance and send each CEO his corps passwords.

There is always megacorping. Which is why we stopped playing multi corp games. So you either have a round robin of multiple games or just 2 teams. Or do as you wish but with limited participation.

Sorry PH. As much as I'd like to have Kraaken participate in the game, ICE was started as a multicorp game just like BOTE was. Keep in mind that I am planning on appointing a trustworthy game op who will monitor and enforce any hard megacorping activity. Also the bank balance will be set to the original 500k to avoid this. There's not much anyone can do about info sharing, so that will not considered megacorping.

Also, I have decided to limit the corp size to 8, so if you get 8 members, you will have a full corp and won't have to worry about drafting players. Any players left over and that are not on a corp may form an addition corp if there are enough of them remaining. However, any corps signed up that do NOT have a full corp may choose from the independant players in the draft.

Boo!, Inc. will be bringing an 8 man team so sign us up. This time I will be CEO.

 1 Merchant Cruiser ()  Deployment: General 

The Merchant Cruiser is the standard fare for earning a living in the
universe.  These craft are moderately fast, well armored and have hard
points for many different accessories.  Many cartels use the Merchant
Cruiser as their only ship type.  The Merchant is the craft by which
combat specs are rated for a standard.

 2 Scout Marauder ()  Deployment: General 

The Scout Marauder is currently the fastest, conventional drive ship
known to mankind.  This small speedster can easily outdistance even the
powerful Corellian Battleships.  It is not equipped for controlling many
fighters or shields, but it fights at 2 to 1 odds due to its quickness
and small size.  This craft cannot carry mines or Genesis Torpedoes.
It may be small, but this ship's speed and range make up for much.

 3 Missile Frigate ()  Deployment: General 

Missile Frigates are really nothing more than a retro-fitted Merchant
Cruiser.  They maintain the same speed and range of the Merchant but can
carry twice the firepower.  Commanding a Frigate means that you cannot
take advantage of much of the additional starship equipment available,
but their combat advantages make up for that.  The Missile Frigate is
the only ship outfitted to carry the awesome Photon Missile.  These
weapons of destructions can turn StarPorts into space junk in short
order.  The Photon Missile was also used effectively in the Trantorian
conflict to totally destroy the enemy's home planet.

 4 BattleShip ()  Deployment: General 

The Corellian Battleship is a dangerous craft indeed!  This ship packs
the most punch of any ship in the Federation.  Battleship's can carry
four times the fighters of a Merchant and deliver them with a much
higher degree of effectiveness due to their superior combat computers.
The shield generators on Battleships are capable of shielding the ship's
fighters as well.  This craft is one of the more prestigious and powerful
ships available today.

 5 Corporate FlagShip ()  Deployment: General 

Few words can actually describe the sheer awe associated with a
Corporate Flagship.  Only available to Corp CEOs, this huge craft is
the ultimate in power and capability.  Not only can it carry up to
20,000 fighters at one time, this ship carries a powerful combination
of options that will make any foe turn tail and run.

The most impressive capability of the Flagship is the TransWarp Drive.
This device enables the ship to TransWarp to any other sector in the
Universe provided one of your fighters is already there emitting a
locator beam.  Without this, a ship can disapear into TransWarp and
never be seen again.

 6 Colonial Transport ()  Deployment: General 

The Colonial Transport is a massive structure that can only barely be
called a ship.  This huge craft is ideal for moving large amounts of
products or colonists from place to place.  Though it has a standard
drive, this ship is rather slow due to the mass involved.  Also, the
combat computers are rather limited on this craft due to the excessive
needs of the navigation computers.  The Transport is not outfitted for
carrying or deploying mines.  Conflict brings the Transport's major
weakness to light.  Due to the size of the craft, it is very hard to
defend against fighters.

 7 Colonial Transwarp ()  Deployment: General 

The CargoTran is a large ship indeed.  Though not as fast as some of its
related trading cousins, this ship can move vast amounts of goods.  It is
typically a pacifist's ship as it does not carry much in the way of
offensive capabilities but it's very large array of holds makes up for all
of that.  The large shield capacity of this craft makes it safe to wander
hostile territory as well.  This ship is considered by many to be one of
the top money-makers in the Universe.

 8 Merchant Trader ()  Deployment: General 

The Merchant Freighter is the ideal ship for those traders that do not want
to concern themselves with political matters.  It is not a very powerful
ship in combat, but its strengths are many.  This ship can carry a large
number of shields and manages to outdistance most ships.  After all, "Those
who fight and run away, live to fight another day" still holds very true in
the universe as we know it today.

 9 Imperial StarShip ()  Deployment: General 

The commercial version of a Federation StarShip is not available to just
anyone.  This craft is only available to those who are commissioned by the
Federation to aid in their cause.  StarShips are the most closely guarded
technology in existence.  They can carry massive assault power and through
the use of the TransWarp drive, they can deliver this power almost anywhere.

The Imperial StarShip is truly the most powerful ship that a private
individual can command.  More information about qualifying for a Federal
commission is available at a Police station near you.

10 Havoc GunStar IG ()  Deployment: General 

The Havoc Gunstar is a recently developed ship that owes its existance to
new developments in micro-miniaturization.  This mid-sized ship is the only
one of its size to be able to house a TransWarp drive.  Though it doesn't
carry a large amount of holds to fuel the TransWarp, it still has a decent
T-Warp range and can arrive at its destination packing a moderate fighting
force in the bargain.  Watch for this ship to become the favorite of the

11 Grid Master (Markham Space Tech)  Deployment: General 

The StarMaster represents the latest in technological advances for star
travel, meeting the needs of those who desire a ship with great speed and
medium cargo capacity.  Developed to counter the growing threat of space
piracy, the StarMaster posesses a formidable fire control and weapons
system, and a high shield capacity.  The price for this state-of-art craft
is not cheap, but discerning traders will find that the investment will
pay for itself in the long run.

12 N/A ()  Deployment: Manual  

The Constellation is the direct offspring of the Correlian Battleship.
While not quite as powerful as its distinguished parent, the Constellation
makes its own mark with greater speed and range.  Traders have dubbed it
the "baby battleship", but this "infant" is one of the most powerful and
maneuverable ships available in the universe today.

Offering substantially higher combat odds and fighter capacity, the T'Khasi
Orion is an excellent intermediate ship.

14 Tholian Sentinel ()  Deployment: General 

Young corporations in need of planetary defense should consider the
Sentinel.  With its new planetary combat guidance system, this ship's
normal combat odds of 1:1 shoot up to 4:1 when defending a corporate
planet.  When an enemy ship enters a sector containing a Sentinel set in
defense of a corporate planet, the hostile vessel must first destroy the
Sentinel and all of its fighters before it may land and attempt any action
toward the planet.  Remember:  The Sentinel was designed primarily for
Planetary defense, if used for offensive purposes its combat odds are 1:1.

15 N/A ()  Deployment: Manual  

"Big, slow and ugly...", seem to be the words most often overheard when
someone is describing the Taurean Mule.  Designed in direct competition
with the CargoTran, the Mule is somewhat faster and possesses a higher
cargo capacity, but it is even more vulnerable to piracy and attack than
it's competitor.  However, this is still a good ship for traders who have
staked out "safe" trade lanes and do not have to worry about enemy attacks.

16 Invader ()  Deployment: General 

A recently designed vessel, the Interdictor Cruiser is fast becoming
the great Equalizer of the Universe.  It is as powerful as it is large
and packs a tremendous punch in modern combat.  Unfortunately it cannot
use a TransWarp drive due to its size and its speed is not a great asset.
The major attraction of this vessel is the Interdictor Generator that
creates such a large gravity well that no other ship in its sector can
warp out!  When an Interdictor Cruiser arrives on the scene you had
better give up all thoughts of running away. In addition this ship is not
an atmospheric craft and cannot land on any planets.

17 Assault Trader (~BFerrengi)  Deployment: Used by alien race Ferrengi 

This craft has been identified as the Ferrengi's primary scouting vessel.
It does carry sufficient firepower to pose a threat to some of the smaller
Federation-design warcraft though.  The Ferrengi seem to excel in developing
drive systems and the Assault Trader makes this readily apparent in its high
speed and agility.  One craft by it's self can be handled, but be warned that
they prefer to travel in convoys.

18 Battle Cruiser (~BFerrengi)  Deployment: Used by alien race Ferrengi 

One of these warships was recently sighted off the Antarian Nebulae.  This
craft was unknown to the Federation until a hapless materials transport warping
from the StarDock to a Federation Outpost was set upon by a pair of these.  The
crew managed to return the above info before contact was lost with them.  From
the debris left in the area, it would appear that these ships pack a powerful
punch.  No escape pod made if off the 'Sport to provide further details.

19 Dreadnought (~BFerrengi)  Deployment: Used by alien race Ferrengi 

The U.S.S. Constellation was destroyed recently when it was engaged by this
new class of Ferrengi vessel.  The craft dropped out of a cloaked mode and
attacked the Constellation before they even had a chance to raise their shields
or return fire.  All commissioned StarShip Captains have been notified that the
appearance of one of these weapons of Destruction is a Priority Red demand for
assistance.  Civilians with appropriate defenses have also been asked to aid in
the defense against these powerful ships.

Thick Oxygen/Nitrogen atmosphere.  Specific gravity within 0.7 to 1.3 Earth
normal.  Random, but mostly manageable weather patterns, with temperatures
ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.  Fertile soil, excellent for Organic
production.  Mineral deposits, very good for Equipment production.  Chemical
elements good for Fuel Ore.  Class M planets are excellent for human
colonization and promote an excellent population growth curve as well as a
very good population harmony quotient.  They have an above average
"habitability band".  Drawbacks include overpopulation problems, political
unrest and human-induced destruction of the BioSphere.

Organics.  Very little precious metal making it bad for Equipment production.
Common Chemical traces making it great for Fuel Ore.  Class K worlds are
average for humanoid colonization but an arrid and hot climate requires
specialized colonists.  Narrow habitability band but a generally stable
political environment as the population must depend on each other to survive.
Higher fatality rate than Class M worlds.

mining for Ore more difficult.  Organics production quite good, (one of the
best) but a poor environment for building Equipment.  Class O planets are
more challenging to habitate, but are almost as safe as class M.  Good
population growth curve and decent population harmony.  Their entire surface
is habitable with proper gear with the only drawbacks being the costs to
settle and build citadels.

-30 to 50 Celsius depending on the width of the habitability band.  Excellent
Mineral and Ore deposits but harsh conditions only permit avg to below avg
Equipment production.  Soil is excellent, providing higher than normal
organics production.  Colonist specialization is necessary to maintain
population.  Good - very good population harmony quotient.  Above average

4 ICE

Extremely thin Oxygen-Nitrogen atmospheres.  Specific gravity from 0.5 to
1.7 Earth normal.  Meteorologically unstable causing violent conditions.
Temps range from -10 to -190 degrees Celsius.  Full life support necessary
for colonies and death rates are high.  No workable soil base so hydroponic
Organics are limited.  Modest mineral and chemicals exist so production of
Ore and Equipment will be below average to none.  Class C planets NOT
recommended for colonization, their violent condition makes it extremely
hazardous.  Some Class C planets have been adopted by the Federation and used
as prison colonies with very effective results.

5 Volcanic

Extremely thin Oxygen / Nitrogen atmospheres.  Specific gravities are within
0.8 to 2.6 Earth normal.  Climate patterns are violent with temperatures
from 45 to 400 degrees Celcius.  Full life support required for colonization.
Zero workable soil and harsh conditions make Organics production impossible.
Good trace elements for equip but conditions make production a gamble at
best.  Excellent Ore production possibilities as material is often ejected by
volcanic activity and found on the surface.  Very dangerous for colony growth
as unstable planetary crusts often lead to the complete loss of a colony.
The Federation has been known to use Class H planets for defense of key
sectors due to their large Ore base.

6 Vaporous/Gaseous

Heavy ranging to very thin atmospheres consisting of various elements, mostly
comprised of helium or of hydrogen. Specific gravities can range from 0.2 to
8.0 of Earth normal. Climate patterns usually extremely violent with temps
ranging from -200 to 400 Celsius. Full life support required at all times. No
production can sustain itself on a Class U planet.  Some miners have hinted
at very valuable products that they have extracted from Class U worlds but
the Federation does not have them in its "Official Guide to Mining". Class U
planets are not recommended for colonizations as the environment is harsher
than being in space itself.
