"An Aircraft Carrier is 100,000 tonnes of Democracy" - Henry Kissinger EVENT SUMMARY: This is an event taking place a week after the release of the Carriers Update for NEBULOUS: Fleet Command, a military simulator set in a distant space environment wherein two different factions (The ANS - Shelter Alliance, and the OSP - Outer Systems Protectorate) are embroiled in war. The simulation includes inertia, damage modelling, ranging and detection simulation and missile warfare - and now carrier warfare. Players have a set of hulls for each faction, with which they can configure the internals, the systems and the weaponry at will, so a large part of the game is won by how you decide to outfit your fleet. Will you use cruise missiles to harrass and engage enemy ships from cover, or swarm smaller and simpler missiles to attempt to overcome enemy defences via quantity? Will you take a refitted cargo liner, outfit with gigantic broadside fixed cannons a-la ships of the line from the age of sail? There's a tonne of possibilities, before even getting into battle. We'll be hosting a few games of MP Nebulous, either internally to the community assuming full numbers, internally against the update's newly-implemented and improved AI if not full numbers, or externally playing against randoms if that works for folks. ++EVENT RULES++ General: 1: Players must have pre-built fleets coming into the event. A minute or two whilst getting a game going to adjust something is fine - 30 minutes to build a new fleet from scratch is not. - 1a: There is pre-built fleets for both factions that can be taken, so if the fleet editor isn't your vibe, do feel free to take one. Here's a steam guide to the Starter Fleets. 2: There will be a 5 minute break between games for personal admin. 3: No Exploits or Metagaming. 4: When joining a team, there is an option to show your fleet. Do not click this until the teams are fully filled and finalised, else it confers an advantage if there is team switches. 5: Standard FK Ruleset for good conduct applies. 6: In the case of something outside of this ruleset related to the game, the Event Host has discretion in ruling. --EVENT RULES-- ++NOTES++ Game Settings: Max Players: 8 Scenario: Control Time Limit: 30 Minutes Uniform Team Factions: Yes Victory Points: 1000 Team Points Limit: 3000 per player Map Pool: Aorta, Arroyo, Avora, Caltrop, Cicada, Honeycomb, Pillars, Tombstones, Tumbleweed, Yukon EVENT REQUIREMENTS: SERVER INFO: Host: Deltabacon Password: On Request MODSET: Functionality (Optional): Show Hidden Stats - Adds several stats which were previously hidden to the Fleet Editor, so players can take them into account when building their fleets. Neb Maps (FK) - Small download of the maps, can be done in-game but ideal to have them in-advance.

"Just as it has always been, when our memories of the ancient world fade into twilight, a new era dawns to fill the void; an unfamiliar path with a pulse of its own, a tempo not dictated by the labor of men, but accelerated by the rhythm of machines, launching the world into an age of bold innovation. From this cauldron of steel and sweat, a vision of prosperity emerged; harnessing the untold power of the elements, turning night into day, creating new designs that brought the world's stage to the masses and providing an experience that many had never imagined. The advent of mechanized warfare brought devastation like none the world had ever seen, providing a window of opportunity for some to dictate conformity as regimes spread their ideologies with a heavy hand, inciting the world to the brink of war. And yet, some chose a different path and, through their vision, brought unique prospectives to the world. As singular proponents of free thinking remained striving for peace in their endeavors to unlock the secrets of the universe—some of which, would fill our hearts with fear and regret. And as this progress unfolds, the finite nature of our world becomes clear; our survival, the survival of all the world's peoples, depends on our ability to coexist in peace, but this peace is tenuous. Although mankind will always look onward, yearning for more, searching for new boundaries, only to break through them, with the understanding that this world is one, in which, we all share, comes the responsibility of knowing that the decisions you make today will have a lasting impact on the generations of tomorrow." — William Morgan Sheppard - CIV V Intro - August 24, 1932 -> January 6, 2019.

++MISSION BRIEFING++ During the late Cold War period, American forces were deployed in West Germany at a key access route from Eastern Europe to West Germany. If Warsaw Pact forces were to ever invade West Germany, it was highly likely this route would have been used by their forces to exploit their overwhelming numbers and speed-based tactics. This point was known as the Fulda Gap. Protocol put into place by American forces dictated that if the Fulda Gap fell, nuclear weapons would be become an option. US troops were drilled continuously on a possible response to the Fulda Gap being broken by Pact forces. Often times they never knew if it was a drill or the real deal. This one is not a drill. ++BRIEFING COMPLETED++ EVENT SUMMARY: This is an event organized between FK Gaming and Unqualified Minds. This will be a heavily themed mission with a focus on multiple different objectives. The mission will be making use of a custom Modset provided by Unqualified Minds which will be posted as well at the bottom of this event page and in discord in a compiled list. Weaponry within the mission will be restricted to role specific weaponry and will be limited to a select number of options to reduce prep time.
