I was thinking about events and I have come up with quite a few ideas but I thought that to get more people active at one point we can do two weekly events 7PM (UK time)
one Saturday night and one either Friday or Sunday night, these would be quite big events and would last about 1 - 2 hours, I would spend the whole week (Monday-Friday) Setting up the event, thinking of ideas, spreading the word about the event (via mini events that set a story line or just telling people about it) and choosing who I want to play what character, each of the events on each night would be the same storyline and would both be connected just separated so people don't play for 5 hours in a row doing an event. The events the following week would sometimes also follow on but sometimes would be a new storyline depending on the length of the story and if I can keep it going without ruining it.
I was thinking that I could rotate them so one week is an on ship event and one would be a planetary event and keep rotating like that so people get a change but I would probably do a vote at the end of each event.
I've change my mind about up there ^, Friday and Saturday would be the event nights then Sunday I would setup a mini office and people can come in whenever they want and talk to me about anything they want about the events, I would also setup a forum post each week where they can comment if they did not see me, in those office meetings I would ask people what they liked about the event and what they want to get from the next event.
After that I would hold a vote on the forums that is open all of Monday where people can decide if for next week they would like a planetary event or on ship event.
My events would be vaguely scripted but I would let the commanders make most of the decisions about what happens and whether to capture anyone or open fire or where to search. This would give as much flexibility and would make the events more realistic.
Here is my idea for an on ship event
A cargo ship come into the air space and radio in that they are low on fuel and need help, when they land some weird looking and dodgy traders come off the ship, we welcome them in and take them to medbay as a few of them are ill from lack of food and drink, we escort them to medbay leaving only EOD and CG to guard the ship, once they have all got to medbay out of the cargo ship hundreds of droids and two sith apprentices come out of the ship and completely overpower CG and EOD in matters of seconds not giving them enough time to radio in for backup, therefore nobody knows that EOD and CG are captured until they are discovered later.
The two sith and 3 droid commanders along with a few droids go to the bridge and control station and completely shut down the ships defences allowing droids to attack the ship and land in MHB, HB1 and HB2. At this point people start to figure out what has happened and the traders are sealed in the medbay quarantine zone. Everyone moves out from medbay and walks along the corridor to get to MHB (front of ship bit). when they get there, there are barriers setup and there are loads of droids everywhere and some vulture droids flying around in the air, CTP take off to destroy the vulture droids and take down any droid ships left in our airspace, they then perform bombing runs in Y-WINGS over MHB to help destroy the droids, while this is happening all jedi have got to level 3 and are fighting the sith and droid commanders they take the sith down and droid commanders and re-engage all defences. By this time the troopers have cleared MHB and have breached HB1 and HB2 and the ship is ridden of droids and a few have been captured including a sith and two droid commanders.
Later on after interrogation of both the sith, droids and traders they find out that the traders were smuggling in the droids so that they could get information on the republic, they were both in on the deal and wanted to take down us down as we were known as a "Superpower" of the galaxy and threatened the dark side's invasion of the galaxy.
The event the next day would be the sith and droid commanders escaping and us placing a tracking device onto their ship leading us to the planet which would be the planetary event the following week, the ship would yet again be attacked but as a distraction by the droids, they would either be in MHB or ontop of the ship and there would be strafe runs by the droids on MHB. We would kill them all then retreat to safer positions to discover that the Sith and droid commanders had dissapeared, they flew out in one of our ships but luckily there was a tracking device on it, because all our ships have tracking devices built in.
This would be a very small and simple event but would lead on to a REALLY BIG planetary event the following week, maybe on geonosis, I'm not sure yet.
The week after I would continue this storyline as I have some good ideas for a planetary event with this story line where we have to rescue some troopers that were kidnapped and were tortured into giving away the location of our ship, which is how they knew where our ship was and knew our weaknesses.
Thanks for reading, sorry about the length but I've got to get all the details down. Please consider me for planning some events as I do have more ideas to come! If you would like to hear anymore ideas then message me in-game and I will happily post another thread about them.
