 For 2024 most of our CC2 PvP events were kindly hosted by [[https://trickys.gg/events|Tricky's]].  This has given us a well managed and well attended regular PvP scene with signups and scheduling and has allowed us to select a curated list of mods for the game that augment the PvP experience.
+{{ :trickys-events.png?400 }}
+Games are regular with spaces for up to 24 players and planned for Saturday (2000 or 2100 UTC) and are usually every weekend with occasional gaps.
+==== Mods ====
+The mods we have selected have been chosen for a good, balanced PvP experience where skilled and new players have a good chance at success.
+The most significant mod changes are from.
+  * [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3098073689|Revolution 1.4]]
+    * Revolution is an extension on top of the UI Enhancer mod that gives us
+      * Fog of war - You only see who controls an island when you are near
+      * PvP Barge cap - Players can now no longer spawn vast numbers of cheap barges, this used to cause lots of lag and was considered against the rules
+      * [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891723169|Albatross AWACS]] - AWACS mounted on the Albatross instead of Manta
+      * Needlefish RADAR - Needlefish can see targets themselves, vanilla game they could not.
+      * Rebalanced Manta - Manta can carry fewer bombs/missiles, this has meant we actually see more air combat and dog fights, previously "Full loadout" games would see a fast team take out a carrier using Mantas in minutes, with very little enjoyable gameplay variety
+  * [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2937532682|Gentle Missile Speed Buf]]
+    * AA, TV, Laser and Cruise missiles are now much faster
+    * AA can now catch up with a Manta (slowly)
+    * IR speed is unchanged
+    * Laser is MUCH faster
+    * TV is faster but not able to overhaul a manta in a stern chase
+  * [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2769055606|Turbo Barges]]
+    * Barges travel MUCH faster (maybe too fast) speeding up logistics operations
+  * [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2824714936|2x Water Speed]]
+    * Ground units in water now travel twice as fast as the vanilla game, this does not feel un-natrual in game but you will notice the slowness without this mod
+  * [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3280370621|Tactical Operations Centre]]
+    * Adds laser guided missiles to the carrier
+    * Gives extra control screens down in a new room in the aircraft hanger - useful when there are more than 5 players.  Inspired by [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2827559599|Repair Bay Terminals + Capt Controls]]
