Okay.
So the RFP is doing a recruitment drive toreplace losses bulk up numbers, and since the population has proven to be rather reticent in regards to willingness to step forward, the marketing firm hired is posed with a quandary. Simply put, they've a limited budget, most of which they've pocketed already, and they need a lot of pictures that'll awe the masses so the RFP recruiters can approach them while they're gawking. So they've set up a competition! All pictures taken will belong to the firm for use by the RFP, and the best picture (as judged by the unbiased and completely professional panel of judges) will be awarded a lump sum of 100 Mc.
There is no price for also rans, other than maybe prestige.
(And the real objective is to get an influx of "pretty" screenshots to try and balance with all the technical ones of modules and ships, testing and maneuvers. The price is naught but mad props.)
The basic rules are:
Unlimited budget (but as the "price" is supposed to be 100 Mc and the honor, if you want a chance to make a profit, try to keep the total cost of all ships (yours and enemy) in the sandbox mode to less than a total of 100 Mc.
The RFP may (or may not) reimburse you for showing off stock designs.
Screenshots should be taken either while zoomed in on a fleet, or in combat.
Ships used do not have to be practical or at all sensible - anything goes - but for the sake of setting up good photo opportunities in a timely manner, a fair amount of deltaV - and maybe also responsive maneuvering thrusters - may be recommended.
The only need for an enemy craft would be to give you something to shoot at to show of pretty weapons fire, explosions or stuff like that, or to generate aesthetically pleasing battle scarring on your craft.
Bonus points for showing off the RFP coat of arms. Minus points for showing the RFP coat of arms with significant battle damage visible on it (around it is fine, great even, and incidental battle damage on it is a romantic touch).
Don't forget that the subject is only one part of the picture composition - the setting/background/backdrop is also important - it's probably best not to try to take pictures in low orbit of a gas giants nightside... Unless maybe you're shooting for a moonrise/sunrise shot.
If there's a story behind the set up for the picture, do share it. Making of material is also accepted.
Nuclear flash photography is strictly restricted.
