Red vs. Blue is a chance for people to hang out, shoot each other for fun and test their ship setups on the EVE Test server called
Singularity (Sisi). Doesn't matter what your allegiance is on the main server, as this is strictly for talking with fellow posters, having good fun and an education in internet spaceships. For all this you need to have the latest Sisi client installed,
either by copying your existing EVE client to a separate folder and patching it or (this method is prone to fail) download and install
the full test client. Then add "/server:87.237.38.50" to the client's shortcut. Be sure not to overwrite your existing EVE installation!

HEREWhen you have the Sisi client installed fly to the
FD-MLJ solarsystem in Syndicate, preferably before the event. There are several Free For All attle beacons for different variations of ships. These are the only places you can have non-consensual PvP on the server! The best part about it is everything on the market is seeded at 100ISK per unit. From Iron S ammo to Dreadnaughts. Always buy ships and modules in stocks of 100 and ammo at even bigger ones for saving time. Pre-buy and fit all your ships, mods and ammo before the event! This can be easily achieved by buying everything in bulk and using the all-new fitting tool to save your fittings and using them to quickly create multiple rows of fitted ships. Read about specific shiptypes below.
On the marked day we will all get in system, check to see what comms we can use (Have TeamSpeak or Ventrilo installed tia) and divide ourselves into two fleets - red team and blue team. After that there will be a series of face-offs as one team jumps through the gate into the other one. There are only three rules of engagement:
1. You can warp away, but you must warp back in on the gate after you do, unless you're the last one alive in your fleet.
2. No peeking at the other fleet to see what ships they have in advance.
3. NO PODDING!
Everything else you're allowed to experiment with, this includes stuff like faction implants and T2 ammo. This is on the test server, so test!
