Litterbox 5 General Information
Litterbox 5 will be and OP and SFC3 Campaign running on separate servers, but
with exactly the same maps. It will be a 3 week campaign. Projected starting
date will be Monday July 5th at 8PM EST, barring any major disasters.
Story Premise.
A Scientist in the 2263 era has made a device, which was the precurrsor of the
Genisis Device that is affecting the Timelines of space, causing the fabric of
time space to be torn apart. The effect is resources from the early timeline are
being sucked through time space "portals" into the future, which are creating
planets in the future. In other words, asteroid fields or protoplanet matter is
being sucked through time to form worlds in the future. This is causing a slow
drawing of resources in the past to the future, which then affects the future
timeline.
The key VCs will be taking exact points on each map in the D2 and D3, which will
simulate placing "Time Anchors" at these focal points and closing the "holes" in
time and space. I will be doing DB edits on the races econs during certain
periods to show the effects of this phenomena. So the more of these "focal
points" (VCs) you take, the better your economy will be. Also taking these focal
points away from your enemies, will cause their econ to suffer. So you can save
your econ and destroy your enemies by working together on both maps.
The Sides will be:
Orion Pirates - Federation/Gorn/Klingon/Lyran vs Romulan/ISC/Mirak/Hydran
SFC3 - Federation(Gorn)/Klingon(Lyran) vs Romulan(ISC)/Mirdan(Mirak/Hydran)
Shiplists for OP will be the new untested DIP 1.6 shiplist.
Shiplists for SFC3 will be based on the Battlezone Mod 2, with changes in both
common settings, core and loadout, to bring the Mirdan in to replace the Borg.
If some of you would like to try the SFC3 side of things, download the Battlezone
Mod 2 and patch at
www.battleclinic.com. I will be putting out a LB5 patch for
this along with a full installer later this week. This will allow you to
practice and see what we have done with the SFC3 side of things. I hope to have
the DIP shiplist and installer done in the next few days. Karnak is squishing
bugs in his missions, and I will wait for him to finish.
Rules will be posted later this week. Forums will be located at Battleclinic for
all the races. I will also need a Surpreme Commander from each side to
coordinate both maps, plus a RM that will coordinate each race on each map. 2
ARMS, one to fly on each map will be needed too.
Im still unsure if Im going to do a registration or not, but will let you know
soon.
My hope is for all D2 and D3 players to try both games, and work as a team to win
the campaign. Maybe even make some new friends and build some bridges to help
expand both games playerbases.
Oh and if this all fails miserably, well we know whos fault it is!
