As stated, this battle will happen this coming Saturday, April 11th at 5 PM MCT (5 PM Pacific, 6 PM Mountain, 7 Central, 8 Eastern, 1 AM GMT [if you blokes are on daylight savings - if not, midnight]).

This battle will allow for a maximum of four participants from each side (Zion, EPN, Machinist, Cypherite, and Merovingian) and will be both server and rank inclusive. If you wish to participate, you will be granted a slot on a first come, first serve basis. That is, whoever posts first in one of the four Next Renaissance threads secures themselves a spot in the battle, with those posting after them functioning as alternates.

If you would like to register a new ship for this battle, please register at hovercraftbattles.110mb.com and notify me of your registration via a PM. Your ship will appear on the form on the original site and I will manually update the new one. You can get a good sense of the rules at hovercraftbattles.110mb.com/Rules.htm. If you have any questions, please PM me.

This battle will be special - both in scenario and map arrangement, and those who participate will have their experience values received doubled. That is, if you win and survive, you will receive 6 XP. If your side is victorious, but you are disabled, you will receive 4 XP. If your side fails to achieve victory, you will receive 2 XP.

The objective for this map will be for Merovingian or Machinist/Cypherites to pass Zion and EPN forces to exit the map through the side on which EPN and Zion will begin. The Merovingians will achieve victory if one of their ships can pass through the Zion side. Machinists/Cypherites will have to send 2 ships total between the two organizations through the Zion/EPN side in order to succeed.

Should this happen, Merovingian forces will achieve victory (6 XP if alive/exited for victory, 4 if disabled) and will reduce the maximum amount of XP Zion/EPN can achieve to 4 XP (if they are able to eliminate all Cypheites/Machinists from passing through, 3 if disabled). Zion will lose automatically if the Machinists/Cypherites can pass 2 total ships between their organizations through the gate, but will still be required to defend against the Merovingian forces. Under such conditions, the Machinists will achieve victory, and if the Merovingian forces manage to enter, they will receive 4 XP for their victory (3 if disabled).

If you have any questions, please post them here and I will attempt to answer them.

The current lineup is:

Zion:
1. Fenshire
2. Omega
3. Deffdog
4. RedBindi
Alternates (in order of wish to participate received):

EPN:
1. Lt0Brien
2. Gerik
3. Neopill

Whoops, missed a detail. The battle will occur on Syntax at the Camon Central hardline at the aforementioned time and will be coordinated by a character named HovercraftBattleCoordinator (this is an alt of mine, obviously).

This should be the protocol for all following hovercraft battles as well.

I'll be there, but I have not yet decided which ship I will be using.

Looks like we get to work with Fen, Bindi and Deffdog again. INTERESTING!

I don't know if I can make it at the time, but want to fight. Check me at the Merovingian's side as an alternate participant, so other captain's have a first chance.

Since it appears that the Machinists/Cypherites seem to be at a disadvantage (but has minimum participation) and since this is a special scenario requiring them to send at least two ships through the Zion/EPN side in order to succeed, if Machinist/Cypherite participation does not raise greatly overnight (or at the time of the battle) they will be compensated six drone ships with statistics comparable to those of the EPN fleets used for the No-Fly Zone battle. The Machinist 3 will be statted at 3 hull, 2 energy, 1 shield, 0 ballistics while the Cypherite 3 will be statted at 2 hull, 1 energy, 1 shield, 2 ballistics.

If there is Merovingian participation in a minimal ammount (1-2 participants), they will be compensated 2 drone ships statted at 3 hull, 1 shield, 1 energy, 1 ballistics. If there are no participants, there will be no compensation.

Since the Machinists seem to be going up and I have word that EPN may not show as many as I had previously been informed, the circumstances for drones will be as such:

Machinists will be compensated enough drones to match their numbers to the Zion forces.

Cypherite forces will be assigned enough drones to match their numbers to the EPN forces.

Merovingian presence, being a minority since they are only one side, will be granted enough drones to equal four total ships, so long as participation is there (which it should be, seeing that Synapze and Tek have both expressed interest).

Questions, comments, concerns?

Good fight to everyone tonight!

Zion/EPN won.

Congratulations to TekMon for achieving the rank of pawn, to Gerik for achieving the rank of Devout, and to Deffdog and Omega02 for achieving the rank of Captain. Deffdog, please post here or PM me where you would like your extra stat point to go.

It was a long battle with many possible outcomes around every corner. But I think I can safely say that I won't be hosting any battles that large again for quite some time, as they take a while and are very hard to manage.

The second to last map is still up on the combat page if anyone is interested in seeing it.
