CANNONBALL
What is a Cannonball?
A Cannonball is a checkpoint race in Eve. Based on a few films, the spirit remains the same: anything goes.
Commonly, our Cannonball events are titled with a number, e.g. CANNONBALL 250. This means it's a race of 250 jumps as the shortest route.
What are the rules?
Place an X in Local Chat at every checkpoint system.
That's it! Obviously, our community rules still apply (Don't be a dick!), but as far as the cannonball goes, that's the only rule to it.
How do I know the checkpoints?
Once the first pilot reaches a checkpoint, the next checkpoint is revealed.
How do I win?
If you placed an X in Local Chat at every checkpoint system (in order!), and reached the final system, you have to find the host of the event. First one to be within 2,500m of the host wins!
Will we be going through Low/NullSec?
For shorter cannonballs (100), the host might be kind and the safest route be as viable as the shortest route. However, for longer ones, expect to go through some nasty systems!
What can I fly?
If it's not explicitly stated, anything! Interceptors, Strategic Cruisers, Freighters, anything!
Are Implants allowed?
Yeup, any implants. But be aware you might get podded if you go into Null!
Is Jump Cloning allowed?
Yeup.
Is podding myself allowed?
Yeup.
So you're saying anything goes as long as I put an X in each checkpoint local?
Yeup.
... So I can shoot other participants?
Yeup.
