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.
Starting date will be Monday July 5th at 8PM EST.
STORYLINE: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 VICTORY CONDITIONS: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.
On OP, you must take the blackhole hexes that are surrounded by asteroid fields. This is the anomoly that is sucking the matter into the future and draining your resources. The closer these Blackholes are to your empire, the more econ you will lose.
On SFC3- You must take all planets that are not in your origninal space that match these blackhole hexes.
This includes Cardassian, Ferengi and Pirate Space. The closer these planets are to your empire, the more econ you will lose.
Taking a "focal point" near and enemies space and preventing them from taking these hexes on both maps will go in your favor, as your enemy will lose economic resourses.
ALL MAP VC'S, ARE WORTH 50 POINTS EACH PER ROUND AND MUST BE HELD ON BOTH MAPS UNTIL THE ROUND ENDS. EACH
ROUND WILL END SUNDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT EASTERN STANDARD TIME.

Basic Rules for both servers:Both servers will be Line of Supply based servers. You can attack any hex in the neutral zone or enemy empires (2deep for enemy) and turn it neutral, but you may not flip it to your races hex unless you have a line of supply that can be traced to your homeworld. This LOS can be traced thru allied space.
You may not attack more than 2 hexes deep into enemy space. Deepstrikes are allowed only 2 hexes deep.
Bases are destroyable on both campaigns.
You may not place any base next to and already existing base. All placed bases must have one hex separating them.
The disengagment rule is in effect for both servers. You must leave the hex for 10 turns if you disengage, and 5 turns if you are destroyed.Any player disputes are to be handled by the RMs and ARMs only. No posts in general chat or the forums are allowed.
