If you were going to play Union, some weekday nights i would be interested, as "The Soviet Block" (inv/ss) needs to get up in level.
Currently 13, but struggling to maintain interest in playing an early gimped toon.
for ref, i am usually around Mon,Tue nights 8pm gmt.
Do you really think playing in an all-tanker team makes tankers seem more appealing? I believe seeing such a team in action would be equally exciting as watching continental drift in slow motion. There is just not nearly the amount of synergy like with overlapping debuffs in some all-squishy teams nor the same feeling of accomplishment after doing something with squishies that normally would have been done with a kind of tank.
The only way I could see this as an interesting (and working) concept would be to layer as much AoE effects/damage as possible, such as a kind of 'elemental team' where only ice and fire sets are allowed.
Don't get me wrong. I really wish you good luck and all that, but I think once the initial thrill of a one-AT-team is gone you might feel that the advancement is slow and the fun quite limited.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
it is not my intention to make tanks more appealing its my intention to get players who want to be a tank the chance of getting started. I have thought about the damage capabilities of the tanks too, we will be an unstoppable fortress but the damage capabilitie is low so i would suggest to add about two other AT's to give more damage potential if thats a good idea to the ones participating?
I would be interested however i would prefer it to be on the Defiant server because that is where i want a Tank. Im not too sure in what i want to be however im thinking either a Stone/SS or Ice/Ice. . . but im not 100% sure.
Its a good idea though, not for say like a 'superteam' but more of a chance (like you said) to just get a Tank without it being a slow long task. . .
I look forward to how this turns out 
i would prefer defiant too myself

At low lvl there is hardly any problem with damage output, SS and stone are from start very good damage dealers, followed shortly by axe/mace. Ice and fire are the late commers, ice does okish damage but strength is ice patch, where fire has a early AoE start and later on Burn.
MaceX (my Stone/SS) was build together with Encore, my Fire/nrg. We could splash through missions very fast, from SO onwards it was unyielding and invincible only.
If i would pick a support AT, i would go for a heal/buffer. Something that give mez-protection and extra output. Kin or Empath would be best fit, closely follewed by Rad due AM and the -res debuffs. Specialy higher lvl they never have to worry, pick a mob, check for 2nd groups.. they can run in without problems, nonstop bashing everything they see.
During the late 20s and early 30s i often teamed together with a fire/fire and a ice/SS tanker, 4 in total. By then you just all rush for the boss, the rest being damaged by the lotsa aura's and AoE's.
I would love to join with a ice/fire, but my characterslots are full

thx for the comment Synergy-X =) gives me hope to actually level a tanker past level 6 
Yeah i have decided on what sets i am going to be. I am going to be an Ice/Ice Tanker called Aurors (Natural. . . if it matters 
) and im waiting in Tutorial (Just for the Badge) just incase this team does happen .
Come on people its your chance to get a Tank while having some fun and a new experience!

anymore takers? this is a great chance to make a tanker
i would love to join, unfortunately i have no toon slots left on defiant, and have only quite recently started a new tank (fire/ice) on onion anyway
no more interested? just a few more =)
I'd love to join this as well, but I've got enough teams of my own going on right now.
As for the entertainment value of the team, I imagine it must be fun for 8 Tankers to split up and each heard 1/8th of the whole level back to the same spot for clobbering.

starts to look like a team ^^
Heyas,
I've a level 19 Stone/Ice Tank atm, but my 26 Invul/Axe has got a bit boring so I might delete him & make a new Tank. Either Invul/SS or Fire/Fire.
Send me a tell when your thinking about starting @Xtream
Xtream
PS: I'd prefer Defiant
50's -
Scrappers - Xtream & Ouroboros Enforcer. Controllers - Vanguard Phoenix, Midnight Protector & Mythical Illusion. Tanks - Stone Cold Sober. Blasters - Ultimate Solution & Crey Prototype. Defenders - Lucifer - Bound. Peacebringers - Xtream Justice. Masterminds - Xtream Malfunction. SoA - Arachnid Lord
i think it would be better if everyone started a new tank (u can always switch to the tank u want when we reach that level) and we will play on defiant =)
so far we have
1 @Serephia Stone/Stone tank
2 @nimgim Ice/Ice
3 @Bleach Stone/ Ice
4 (Sinergy-X?)
5 @Xtream Invul/SS or Fire/Fire

ps: we have two open spots who can be filled in by tanks or a different AT so if any is interested post here 2 =)
I have a hankering to play an Invulnerable/Stone Tank because you don't see many around
lmk when you are starting and i'll see you in tutorial
Ok Ok i know i have a habbit of changing my mind over what sets i want but i have come to a final conclusion based on what i want out of this Tanker.
1) Good survivability with no movement, damage or accuracy penalties. Also means if i need to herd i can do so with ease.
2) I will be wanting to PvP with this Tank and i need a Tank that can take and deal heavy damage as well as having some PvP bonus with stuns ect.
3)Although the concept of an Ice/Ice Tanker is good i just dont think /Ice will on par (damage wise) with the likes of Energy or Stone Melee. . .
As my FINAL desision for what Tanker i am going to be, i will be joining you in Tutorial with an Ice/Energy (same name but this time im Magic!), i even made a nice build for it . Hope this starts soon!
Heyas,
Created my Tanker today Couldn't wait!
Elite Assault Agent Invul/SS.
I did the tutorial but left him in there after leveling so I can help others & hopefully we can all go for contaminated badge!
Xtream

Defenders - Lucifer - Bound. Peacebringers - Xtream Justice. Masterminds - Xtream Malfunction. SoA - Arachnid Lord
Likewise with Xtream i made my Tanker too and we got the Badge together :P. We are still in the Tutorial so we can give the rest a hand if you want the badge .
Aurors - Ice/Nrg
i am thinking of starting the team with the people we have now if thats fine with everyone i will begin to set a date any ideas for a time and day or even days (i have vacation ) so let me know =)
I'll start whenever your ready.
I'm free tonight, but doing a TF on Thursday so won't be free.
I remade my Tank (didn't like the cossie ) so i don't have the badge now but still in tutorial

I have had my thoughts at a tanker for quite some time now. I tried it several times but i can never seem to get any higher then level 6 before i make another troller
. But everytime i see a stone tank i know i want one too 
thats why i suggest a tanker team. This is the chance to get that tanker you always wanted! What do you guys think is it doable? are there enough takers for a team? The times and when we will play are open for thought. I can do it almost anytime in the week at any time.
