I can't speak for other Order groups, but only for myself, OBSC cant bring Caps to Bretonia, So all our fighters bombers gunboats are in Bretonia, We have only are larger ships in Omicrons so thats why i was only able to bring what i had. Or main focus just isnt the Omicrons, I did'nt see one offical Order| vessel so thats why i came with what i came. It was a nice event no matter what anyone says.

Go to sleep peeps. Log again tomorrow with fresh brains and cold blood before the storm unleashes. Calm down, sip some tea, eat a pizza and remember, it's just a game, it's meant to create satisfaction not dramas.

Aside from the lolwut caps that joined, which I'm totally with you about. Humans were greatly outnumbered (snub-wise) by the Nomads+Wild ships with a ratio of around 3:1 if I counted correctly. Especially when you have most of the pvp capable people on one side.
Kusari forces were basically 1 KNF fighter (me) and a couple of BD/GC fighters with a BD gunboat, and the rest of human ships were like an Order fighter and a couple of gunboats aside from the Osirises. I really hope that there's more balance next time.
Also holy crap wesker

If I had kusari destroyer with light mortar, nomad snubs wouldnt be problem but yeah don't have single ship for this event, too bad I'll miss this great event

I gave a chance to all capitals that were ganging on snubs to flee, multiple times. I've even let Izumu shoot me for almost three minutes at point blank without retaliation, just nudging him into giving up and go away in nom speech. Not a single word was offered back , just some ramming because why not.
@Alley, that suicide diving battleship was my fault.
I'm actually extremely sorry for that, I just completely miscalculated the whole situation.
Actually I'm the pilot of the Order Gunboat Lambda, if you can remember me you would
know that I'm usually the last person to ever shoot a Nomad unless in self-defense.
I just got a little overwhelmed and misunderstood the situation, I thought that thing
was some kind of 'boss', it didn't came to my mind that it was you trying to balance that
cluster... You know?
TL;DR: Sorry for that stupid maneuver, that was the first event I participated in with my
battleship and I just got overwhelmed by the situation that I stopped paying attention to
my fellow players. That usually happens only once, next time I'll regulate the ORG forces a little better.
(My fingers bleed now, but I <3 you Alley so don't be mad at my nooby-maneuvers.)

So, since I have woken up, I'd like to suggest something different for Admins. With the kill bonus present, it may lead to unpleasant situations I don't ever have to describe. What I would like to suggest is, along with Admin's presence (withno it it would be impossible I guess), to pay each player for participating instead of for killing.
How it would be executed? Well... I've found 2 options so far...
1) With admin present on the battlefield, he/she could simply /givecash some money for each participating person, for example 25 or 50 million, I will keep the exact numbers for you
2) Opening an invisible thread on forums, something like player requests. Players would need to attach their logs with at least some lines of their own rp along with some pictures to prove that they've been participating + a desired bank account to receive the money. Now admins after checking this thread, might send the money to those accounts.
Along with this, I'd suggest to nerf the killing bonus for a bit, the major part of event's income would be generated by participating, not by killing, so like ~10 millions per kill or something about it would compestate it.
As it is right now, it is rather a farming feast for those who know how to fly, while our newer part of community might earn no money at all. Such change might make it more appealing for them and encourage to log not only the most experienced side of players.
PS: Thanks for Irras

Your suggested change, in practice, does not change any issues that are present with the current execution with the plugin. People still gank, people still nuke themselves to prevent blues. Your suggestion simply causes additional paperwork which we have no intention to do.
The current bonuses, as I have already stated, will be reviewed after the observation of today's performance.
RE: [Nomad Incursion Event]: Kyushu (NOW ACTIVE) - Epo - 02-22-2017
It's true that you can't simply change people's attitude, but some bonus just for participating would be more rewarding and universal for all players, not only the ones with the most kills. Anyways, that's all about my idea
Cheers

It's us noobs who log to stronger side. Experienced players wait, see the situation, gather on TS and log to side where they can make more coin. They are making plans for tonight as we speak, I'm sure.
In case Spazz changes parameters, they will have to make more plans. In the meantime we will gank each other, cuz that's what we do.
P.S. Kudos to 2-3 heroic GRN fighters that ohlala-ed into a swarm of aliens yesterday. I was melting down, u charmers :*
