Cherry -
I'll try and put together a team of LES-ers to do this. I know that I am interested and there should be a bunch of my sg-mates that will probably want to do this as well.
Thanks for organizing this, too!

heh thanks 
If anyone else needs something done in the future, I would be more than willing to create something for the event. All I ask is that I'm given around a week or so to get it done.
That gives me 4-5 days to be a slacker, 1-2 days to tinker with ideas and 1 day to get it done.
lol
yay! thanks, pea. It came out pretty sweet.

& Nice poster!
I'm travelin' down the road,
I'm flirtin' with disaster.
I've got the pedal to the floor,
My life is running faster.
I'm out of money, I'm out of hope,
It looks like self destruction.
Well how much more can we take,
With all of this corruption.
Been flirtin' with disaster,
Ya'll know what I mean.
And the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself or,
What you want to be - YEAH.
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
Chorus:
I'm travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Yeah! I've tried to turn my head away,
Feels about the same most every day.
Speeding down the fast lane,
Playin' from town to town.
The boys and I have been burnin' it up,
Can't seem to slow it down.
I've got the pedal to the floor,
Our lives are runnin' faster,
Got our sights set straight ahead,
But ain't sure what we're after.
Flirtin' with disaster,
Ya'll know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself or,
What you plan to be - Yea!!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
Chorus:
Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.
Flirtin' with disaster, baby,
Ya'll know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself or,
What you plan to be - Yea!!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
Chorus:

Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.

I assume these GM's do not give a badge. Seeing as this is the case, I'll be happy to bring my Kin to speed anyone up. He has flight and can make the rest faster.
I'd volunteer to lead a team, but if it's SG related, I'd rather let iltat have first shot at that.
Very nice poster. I think I'll join up on this. Sounds like fun

After speaking with him last night, he isn't ready to lead a team for this... therefore I'll run a Pingu team. Pingu Love as always will be happy to assist.
I may invite him to my team so we all have the opportunity of watching him faceplant at 30k.
Anyone wanna get demo record up so we can get a video of this fall? Perhaps someone can turn off flight and fall with him ;D

Well, if I'm not at Otakon during this, I guess I'll be on the Pingu Team. Should I be bringing my Ice Tank or Rad Defender?

I will probably show up, but I won't lead until I see Padre do a totally [censored] job leading and take over by force cuz he completely sucks. On the other hand, it's a guarantee that I'll die and fall a long [censored] way down.

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.
It's a penguin thing. Pingu FTW.
As i recall, the drop ships dont give merits either.
This is just for bragging rights. Correct?

If I can be, I'm so there. I'll try to bring friends.
I don't want to commit to leading a team though, since I'm not sure if I can make it.

Ok, Champion. The time has come where we, as a group, assault the Rikti Drop Ships . This Saturday, July 18th at 8pm est is your chance!!
Im putting the challenge out to all of you to gather up for something I know a lot of us have wanted to do, but wasnt sure if it was possible. Thanks to Dark_Respite posting this video they made, it became a very real possibility!
Now for the details..
Clearly this is going to require all team members to have flight. There are jet packs available for purchase in FBZ or run some bank missions and get 1 that way. Or you could buy 1 for like $6 bucks from the NC store.. the mini booster pack.
According to paragonwiki there are 2 types of drop ships : Red, Is wave 1 with UXB bombers and wave 2 is Yellow with NO uxb bombers. Clearly we will be chasing after wave 2 ships. Here are the maps of the flight paths
The following is something I copied from a post from people that have done these before and also plan on doing them on Virtue. I found the information helpful. May as well emulate those that have done this already:
Let's start with some information on the enemy, Rikti Dropships (not to be confused with the Mother ship):
- cannot be slowed
- are GM's (Giant Monsters); they scale damage based on character level (any level character can attend but SK's are recommended to increase power benefits)
- deal an initial energy blast of approx. 900 pts damage to a level 50 (try to keep above the ship)
- Enter a zone in 2 Waves. Each Wave files in 2 seperate Routes. Approx. 9 ships stream in through each route for an approx total of 36 ships per Invasion in one zone.
The key to success is damage and debuffers. At 20 bodies ( extensive forum searches showed that other servers assembling as many as 18 bodies would fail to complete a ship before it sailed outside of the zone) strict tactics need to be enforced. leap-frog tactics will be needed. A team would have to get in their initial round of hits in the race ahead of the ship to get another shot off. Each team doing so creates a "gauntlet" from which the ship eventually wears down and explodes. Now, last time, we had over a dozen captains with full teams start off (18 team leads each carrying 6-7 others). The leap frog tactic was drowned out by the sheer number of damage dealt in a "swarm" attack. We had ships down in a little over a minute each. 41 ships in all over a 60 minute span. Pretty much, as long as we have a good deal of debuffers, a good sized unit of 50 people should have the same results.
(information provided by Angry Angel. HERE is the original post)
We need team leaders! Im calling out sgs to organize teams for this event. If you wish to be a team leader please post here with your global so I can reach you for further details.. same goes for sgs that plan on attending.
Here is some information I found useful for team leaders :
To make assemby easy (last time we started assembling a full hour before start time and still had more show than expected.. in the end we had over a dozen team leaders) I need volunteer team leaders to: 1. Show an hour early. 2. Be vocal in /broadcast and fill spots 3. Be friendly and give a basic outline of what to do, who to target off of. 3. Give the maps linked above a good once over so even if you and your team lose sight of the targeter, you're still aware of ship paths for the random invasions.
Basically, a team lead will fill his team and wait for the pre-set Event channel to announce a zone. You'll take your team there and head to the path of your assigned targeter. Keep an eye on the /Request channel for recaps and signals.
I think starting this in Atlas is a bad idea, for obvious reasons.. too many people with their heads in AE and we may not be able to get as many people in as needed . Id like to start in Steel and go from there. Also, If you could please use your lvl 50 toons, that would be great.. yes, im sure there will be sk room.. but.. Lets optimize our chances, please.
Drop ship flight path: Steel Canyon
We will be following Squadron Pink.. if there is enough interest we will follow on to different zones. Team Leads will keep teams posted on this.
Now Im sure there is going to be a lot of confusion at 1st, please be patient, Were all new to this venture. Also, Im sure there is going to be a learning curve and may take some trial and error to get it going smoothly.. again, please be patient.
If Ive missed something, or if you have something to add, post here or send me a tell @Cherry-2000.
Thanks and hope to see all of you there.
