Elite Fighter Competition (Submit Your Starfighters!)

[Saera Willamina Savan]

I'll keep this simple, because it really doesn't need a complex explanation.

I am running a development thread / official competition to test out the latest Prototype fighter I have in store. It's not the Deathbell - that was a limited market-item. It's not the Stargoddess - that was a highly exclusive and private make owned only by name individuals. It's something completely new and unseen; as far as I'm aware, completely new to the entire site, but based on canon.

So what is this about, you ask? The "Best Fighter" of the the century! Well, of any previous century, but I'm looking for either modified canon or full-original. We (us; you and I, or hired pilots) will have live simulation dog fights to stretch out the arms of this Prototype, so to speak, as well as see if there are any fighters out there that can best it. The one with the shortest time (least posts maybe?) will be the winner! (...Assuming any can beat it, that is.)

1st Place Prize
1 luxury corvette or frigate, fully custom-tailored to the winner's design, from amenities to armaments.
1 Electrum-Plated Prototype Scale-Model Trophy
1,00,000 Credits
2nd Place Prize
1 Second-Generation Languor-Class Starfighter with Luxury modifications (weapons stripped/sold separately).
1 Ultrachrome*-Plated Languor-Class Scale-Model Trophy
500,000 Credits
3rd Place Prize
1 Bronzium-Plated Ventus Interceptor Scale-Model Trophy
250,000 Credits


Oh, and you don't need to be the manufacturing company to register! You just need to own one of their craft.
(I'd personally check in with whatever company makes your fighter though, your results represent their starcraft.)
Fighters AND Interceptors AND Strike Craft all welcome! (Space-worthy only, no atmo's)
If the Prototype cannot be destroyed, position will go by longest survival time.
* (There's not nearly enough 'chrome on that bad boy to make a peanut, so don't bother)

One more thing. In case one wishes to throw in a fighter but does not want to/cannot actually pilot it, we ARE looking for PC Pilots to fill in, and will be fully paid by RRDI if the hirer cannot afford to.

In case any of you want to fly for someone, or can't fly yourself.

 

[Tathra Khaeus]

Nevermind, swag.

Edit: >_> lol

 

[Aedan Miles]

I might be able to be in this but I have so much going on in real life I almost have to take a brief LOA

 

[Ak'lya]

Just t of curiosity, could we us this as our own Dev thread as well?

 

[Saera Willamina Savan]

[member="Aedan Miles"] - Take your time I can't start until there's enough people anyways. Not for the dev aspect, but in general.

[member="Strask Ak'lya"] - Probably not, as dev threads can only be for one thing and one per person, so unless you're trying to get a [unnamed RRDI prototype fighter] then no. Sorry!

@A/E - All participating pilots will get one free MMSA-10 Combat Flight Suit and one MMSHMD-A01A Flight Helmet, to KEEP!!

Awesome!

Any more takers?

Swapping to the Popo mindset for a moment, but without changing faces 'cause I'm lazy. For a large scale or a company submission? Probably not. As a personal submission for a unique/personal starship/starship upgrade? You could, yes.

Baktoid is offering one pilot the chance to be sponsored by Baktoid Industrial Systems and pilot an Naga Starfighter. We will provide any and all materials to make our pilot comfortable and happy during the competition, with a luxury suite, and VIP treatment.

 

[Saera Willamina Savan]

The date's been pushed to the 25th, hopefully to gain more participants by then.

 

[Aedan Miles]

Hey Saera I am gonna throw in a Devastator-class Heavy Fighter piloted by yours truly. Should be interesting.

 

[Nyxie]

Good news, everyone!​

​

I'm doubling the prizes. 500,000 seems just so little for a major military-industry corporation.​

[member="Ashe the Reaper"]
Sooo... This still going?

 

[Nyxie]

[member="Arrbi Betna"] - Yeah, just trying to get more people to want to get involved. :/
Also on Semi-LOA for the holidays right now.

[Nyxie]

I might be adding scroll/cron copies and whatnot to sweeten the pot.​
