    I would love to see a Sanctioned ladder match ran by Uber once we get a bit later in Beta.... something like 1v1 matches with a playoff type system, and the winner should get one of the new united named after his handle.

    IE: If I won (and i wouldnt, I suck) a new bot named Ferg or something :)

    I think its something you could podcast / livestream the final matches, build a lot of PR for PA and Uber and get the community evolved.

    Also press gang Brad as a caster / announcer.....bring sticks, he looks like a big guy that can handle himself lol.

    Would anyone else like to see Uber run tournaments or other events like this? I love how CCP does the Huge Alliance Tournaments and lately even doing EVE Opens that people have to pay to get into, and had a $10,000 cash prize split between your team.

    How about they 'finish' the game first? They've said they'd like to do things like this eventually, but really, if you're gonna put that much PR behind an event you really should make sure the game itself will stand up to it.

    Yes. We will have ladders etc. We are trying to get the base game stable but we have a lot of plans along these lines.

    Oh I agree they shouldn't setup a tourney tomorrow, Like I said maybe have the first one in late beta, near release, it would be really cool to have a unit at release named after the winner, its something that pops in the wiki trivia section heh

    Ladders and rankings will be awesome, glad to hear that it will be in the game....100% agree fixing bugs and pathing etc is the top goal for now,

    Thanks for the response
