(BTW making AI rep red to Core would also help since of extensive amount of white nicknames confusing people). While about cooperating that`s was really clear that today Auxo/Sairs were just literally helping each other, like playing a one side united against Core, I am probably sure that Core can just handle that anyway, that`s rather atmosphere issue.

Mars POB won`t stay right in front of Gammu tommorow right? Or what the starting positions of everyone will be? Like if we just gonna fight in front of Gammu it blocks AI/Auxo to restock(since combat docking will occur on Mars POB)/respawn properly or people gonna be focused right after undock also encouraging AI/Auxo to use Sairs` bases, literally again making their cooperation against Core inevitable, or I missed some point where it shouldn`t be a 3 way?

Like basically making for each side something like a green zone out of a front to gather a new wave or restock always works good in such events.

This is clearer, thanks.

Keep in mind that tomorrow, staff are controlling the event ships (except for the Phoenix SRP), so players best fly with them if they wanna keep them alive. That should solve the issue of where the fights will happen.

Regarding restocking, there's nothing preventing people from doing it. But of course, if you do it in view of other people you were just fighting, you're PVP dead. We already warned people not to re-engage too quickly after dying, so people will hopefully pay attention to the respawn timer. The Mars POB will stay where it is, yeah. Remember, while you probably can't restock on Gammu or Mars, you also don't really wanna fly the whole distance back to Livadia or Ciutadella and miss a fight. Keep in mind also that this is symmetrical: Core and AI are spawning near Gammu, Zoners and Corsairs at opposite ends of the system. This is pretty much as ideal of a set-up for an event as you can hope, and the rest is just "player RNG".

How players choose to "ally" is part of this player RNG. If I see certain sides being created with an uneven fight set-up as a result, I'll be modifying respawn timers accordingly. As you may have noticed, we have very rarely created engagement rules for events. How people choose to rp the situation is up to them, within reason. And Auxo allying with Corsairs against the Core seems reasonable to me. It's one of those things that is left to the players exactly because I don't want to tell them how to play. I just outline the scenario, and have people interact with it to the best of their understanding. If you think something people do falls within rule 1.1.1, make your case in a report and staff will discuss it.
