...post your name AND the primary race you are flying on the server! Three of you are gonna get lucky! I am planning a lottery to assign a 2 BP Battlecruiser to a casual player for each side who has never had the opportunity to fly one before.

Before posting your name, you must agree to the following:

    This applies only to those who have not had the chance to fly a BC or DN on a server during the past 12 months.

    You may not fly the BC for more than 20k worth of prestige.

    You must state your prestige upon getting the BC and once you have flown 20k worth of prestige later, you must self-destruct because its time is up. (this prevents you from reaping a cash reward and is not counted as a VC in this manner.)

    Even if your BC is available before the year 2277, you may not fly it till that time.

    Your BC, if it is destroyed, will be counted as a VC.

    You may not transfer this ship to anyone else or let anyone else use your account to fly it.

    You may not fly more than one account from the time you get your BC to the time you get rid of it.

    Your ship may not be upgraded in any way using CP points even if an upgrade is available, it comes and stays 'as is'.

    This lottery does not apply to RM's ARM's or Hexx.


You have until the day the server starts to put your name on this list and then I will announce a random winner at that time.

Good Luck!

Diz

Klingon this time. First ever.  Never had a computer that could handle the game before now.  Get it soon, too.   ;D  Of course, I'll be getting photon enema's for a while, so letting me fly one of those is kind of like letting Helen Keller drive your ferrari...

it's only BC's anyway.... 


one question:  Does the F-DN count as a BC this server?

3 BP. But in 2271, the F-DN+ is out and is a fine ship in most respects. The DNL is a better ship tho, for the kind of missions you all will be tasked with. So I think it will make for an interesting decision on what to build... I believe that should the F-DN make it through to year 2278 may be upgraded to a DNH... We need to clarify that with DH because I think the DNL version cannot be. It is of a differrent hull type.

Dn should be upgradable to DN+, then DNG, then DNH if it survives that long.
DNL can only (I think) be converted to a DVL.

DNLs can be converted to DNM.  In fact, you shouldn't be able to buildl DNMs, only convert DNLs to DNMs 

Not sure as to the FYAs of those ships though since they are conjectual, they would come out in 2281-2283 I think, for all races.   SFB has them as coming out in X-era which starts in 2281.   i'm thinking 2283.

What if the only BC we got before was grudgingly given on the last day of the server?

And a Fed BC isn't a real BC anyway

Ok, out of these:

F- Maxillius
F- Wraith
?M- Surfal
M- LyrKiller
I- Soreyes
R- Dallas

The players closest to the 'R' in the word Report are:

Dallas for the Coalition, he gets a KCR.
Soreyes for the ISC he gets a CCZ (Only ISC to apply, hehe)
and Surfal for the hydran? gets an H-OV or a Z-BCH if he's a mirak...

Players can fly them now.

But counting the VCs might not be a good idea if the hope is to get truely new players into bigger ships.

Dizzy, come on man, you never scroll down the pilots list? :o  I'm flying Rom on SG4, occasionally Lyran.  Since I gather you were trying to award one BCH to each side, I'm guessing someone else gets to fly it.  Though I'd take a KCR anyway :)

Wish I had known about this. I'd have put my name in the hat. Personally, I don't expect to be a casual player. Just didn't get a chance to sign up officially. Had originally considered going the way of Kermit, but I discovered from mere single player campaiging that it's not easy being green and decided to stick with what I knew when I was finally able to get to the Dyna. I currently fly as Kzin if possible, flying Hydran vessels only when I get blown up and have to work my way back up it Kzinti ships.

So much for getting a BC. Guess I'll have to make do with my heavy cruiser. I sniped a hex from the Klinks in that ship earlier today. And pounced on a couple neutrals. Also drafted with Kroma in a Z-MCC+  Wish I was seend some Drone Cruisers, though.
