Syndicate Missions

friznit · Post by **friznit** » January 29th, 2007, 0:36

As part of the new ISS ('The Syndicate') plan, management will regularly be handing out missions to member corps. These will vary in nature, some but not all will be compulsory. We won't neccessarily gain anything by doing these missions other than helping the Alliance, but corps that never do any will be asked to leave. This thread will be for posting and planning missions assigned to 5punkfleet.

Mission #1

To enable the cyno chain for Tuesday 1930, we need small POS (no structures, and fuel for as little as 4 hours), in the following systems:

Mai, ERVK, U1-C18 and one in D2EZ

I have volunteered 5punkfleet to take care of U1-C18. Location is 12 jumps from JK- in Omist. Travel route is through LV space.

Form Up: JK at 1830 in PvP ships. Will need one cyno capable hauler pilot able to carry 7,000m3 (preferably blockade runner) with cyno fitted. Recons should fit a cyno and carry spare LO.

We will need to buy a small minmatar tower on Monday night and jump it to JK. We grab some fuel from the POS in JK and escort the hauler, cyno ship(s) and enough LO for 4 hours continuous running. POS and cyno are to be in place by 1930. Once the cyno link is running, the gang can go roaming for targets, returning to offline the POS when done. We should be done and back in JK no later than midnight. A prior recce of the route and target system would be useful.

Volunteers for the prep please. And who wants to FC this one?

/Edit; Scratch this it's not true (I have tickets fr the Magic Mumbers :D ) ------> I can be on Tuesday for the OP, but not Monday for the prep (assuming that's the plan)

Instead, I'll try to be on for prep this evening. Catch you all laters

As we're likely to be a small gang, I suppose short range gang fits rather than fleet snipe fits would be order of the day?

Any advice on BC/Cruiser fitting for this size of OP? Pobably I'll refit the ratting domi though. It is insured this time afterall

Actually, If we're jumping the small tower down any chance I could shove my recon cruiser on that jump so I could use it tuesday night? I'll trade bum loving for it.

Scratch my request for the jumping of my ship, was getting ahead of myself. If no one else wants to I can FC if needed.

Next time I won't bother asking. I'll hand out tasks and if they're not done, you can go join fw4ppers and mine veld in empire.

I dunno what happened, but I see two people above you in this thread Friz that both volunteered, one to setup and another to FC.

If this is gonna be one of the "you have to help or else" things, I personally won't be able to do too much. My playtime is limited as we all know.. I pay my fees and do what I can when I can.

I dunno about everyone else but i'm confused as to why there is a PO'd Frizzie...

i might be able to make it. I feel like i am catching a cold so i might be home all day tomorrow, so if so i'll be on unless i am running to the bathroom.

i go to work i'll be home 3 hours after it starts but can meet up when I get home.

so i'll be there in some sort of capacity friz, just don't count on me being there in the beginning.

Sorry for the rather curt post. I really don't like having to make things compulsory. It's a game after all, and forcing people to do things flies in the face of having fun. On the other hand, it is an MMO and alot of what we do requires teamwork. This was the first of many important missions that we'll be running for the Alliance and yet once again I found myself sorting everything out by myself between getting back from work and the start time - buying the POS, getting fuel, loading a hauler, podding an alt down there to fly it and organising the escort gang. I had kinda hoped that by posting instructions in this thread 2 days in advance that someone would take the initiative and help out a bit. Next time I'll hand out discreet tasks to individuals since this seems to work better and is clearer for all.

As it was it was pretty disastrous - turns out Manglement hadn't bothered to get diplomatic clearence to put a POS up, we got shot at by a hostile fleet, the POS was bugged so I couldn't take it down (it's still there) and it was only thanks to Count's last minute convo's that we managed to get out with our ships intact. In many ways it reminds me all to well of the chaos that is my RL job!
