This is the proposal for a project that I have dubbed, for lack of a better name, the Brooklyn Project. It, in essence, is to create the largest Remote Explosive cluster reasonably possible. In order to achieve this goal, a group of 32 mercenaries would need to be assembled, each with Aurum, Minmatar Loyalty Points, and the skill Demolitions V. Having access to Logistics class dropsuits also helps, but is not required. Each participant would need to purchase at least one of each unique Remote Explosive type, for a total of 9 (3 ISK only, 3 AUR, and 3 ISK/LP). In total, this equates to 36 deployable Remote Explosives. With 32 individuals in a single match able to deploy this, it would be a total of 1152 Remote Explosives. At 1500 damage each, the mass of Remote Explosives would have a yield of 1,728,000 damage. Needless to say, this is a lot.
In order to actually make this happen, a Planetary Conquest district would need to be used to ensure the gathering of the required people. In addition, the Friendly Fire would allow for the Remote Explosives to chain from a single source [Citation needed], and explode in a single massive blast.
I, however, do not have the required Aurum nor the Minmatar Loyalty points to make this dream come true, or, more importantly, a district to use. I ask you now, my fellow Dust Bunnies, to join me in seeing the Brooklyn Project to fruition. I will create a chat channel soon [tm] in order to orchestrate this event.
I also realize a larger yield could be attainable with people leaving after deploying their 36 and a new person joining, but I don't care. 1,728,000 damage is enough.

Ghosts Chance wrote:you forgot that you can also place proxies as since your using a district FF will activate the proxes as well.
meaning you have another 6 types of explosives per person...
this would nearly double the end yield of the blast
You are right. I will update to OP.

Ghosts Chance wrote:this could probably also be done in a well co-ordinated mass QUE of faction warfare.
Could, but PC seems like it would be easier to reliably coordinate.

True, but they would set off the Proximity Explosives and have an unreliable yield.

If you give them a heads up I'm sure they'd love to coordinate with you monitor the impact of this event on the system and game client for each user.
That would probably be a good idea, thank you for the heads up.

I don't think that it would work against a MCC, but I will be sure to try sometime.

That would probably be a good idea, thank you for the heads up. Certainly. I'm just passing along the word CCP Mintchip gave me when I tried to organize a systematic withdraw of the corp wallet with international players. Is 6am PST the best time to hold an international DUST 514 event?
On second thought, this project may not be the best of ideas.

Yeah, so as it turns out I have good ideas, and poor followup on said ideas. Nothing has happened thus far, though the renewed interest in this thread has inspired me to renew my efforts.
