Coz Council doesn't have enough of a player base? Isn't That is why They have ALREADY been given the alliance of BAF, Bretonia Police, Bretonia Privateers... "Because Council needed caps from an active player base"_as said by Antonio.... The way I see It, There is enough spam and shadowlogged ships to intercept the repair operations...

IT was a Gallic Loyalists vs Council and Bretonia Event... Outcasts unexpectedly showed up in Orkney and kinda messed up the ongoing battle ? Why ?? Coz The Sniffers have zo much ZOI they like to do whatever the yapshet they want thats why.... Or may be because Maltese Saw the Opportunity to strike its enemies while they are fighting one another and may be get to keep the spoils entirely for themselves...

May be it can be an Epic Three-Way battle... Who cares if they have been given "Official" bonus for the kills or not... May be this can give rise to a jagged alliance between GRN and Outcasts... GRN doesn't like sniffers but they gotta ally themselves becoz they have so many freakin' Enemies... I dunno.. However you wish to twist it...

Discovery Freelancer should be Unpredictable.. And Unexpectedly seeing a Maltese Army in a Gallic Loyalist vs Council & Bretonia Event is kind of a surprise... like What the heck are Outcasts upto now.. Wasn't there enough going on.. LOL.. It's Nice... Coz You don't really see it coming.. BUT Now you gotta deal with it...
Deal with the Maltese Army the way all you folks spam Snubs, Bombers, Caps and what not the moment you see ONE freakin RNS in Magellan... Stop Whining...

On another point of view
So You guys suggest I got a CR Dreadnought.. And If I have ZOI in Orkney (I don't know if they have.. but just consider.. for sake of example).. But Since CR is not mentioned in the event.. You guys want me to "create" a Coucil character ? Why ?? Or precisely a Bomber or Snub? Why??? I want to fight using a Capital Ship .. and I don't wanna spend money on a Council Cap Ship which I won't use later.... Why Can't I simply bring my CR Dread and halp whichever way I can... Or May be get killed by everyone coz they don't want my interference, Who Cares If CR is mentioned in event or not.. I just wanna have some fun...

You guys wish to log Council or Bretonians and Participate in the event.. Do It... Good For you.. If someone wants to be there and have fun.. What is so wrong with that... If Outcasts want to spam an army in Orkney just becoz they can.. What is sooo wrong about that.... If BHG shows up in Orkney to hunt down the Outcasts, What is sooooooo wrong about it.... Let it become a ClusterF**k If it haz to be...

LET PEOPLE DO WHATEVER THE HECK THEY WANT... THEY ARE NOT HERE TO DO WHAT YOU LIKE OR WHAT YOU FIND RIGHT..
People want to have fun, Let them have Fun.. Stop Whining....

Anyways apart from this....
To Whosoever it may concern...

Can we please have a tracker or something... To get an Idea for how much Repair Goods need to be delivered.. Or atleast tell how much was required in the first place...

The problem is that this is a server with RP rules, so "doing whatever the heck they want" and it "becoming a clusterfuck it needs to be" is not really promoting the spirit of the server. Exactly as I said, you just want to bring your capship and "have fun" , well so do we all want to have fun, but one mans fun is another mans frustration and anger. For example, your way of thinking is making me angry. The only reason you play this game apparently is because you want to use the biggest ship you can get to the most active zone there is and "have fun", without even stopping for one second and thinking about the lore and context around the event.

Do others a favour and get a Gallic/BAF if you want to participate in the event, no it doesn't have to be the biggest damn ship you can find this side of the universe for you to have "fun", player interaction is the same no matter the size of your ship, but judging from your writing you probably don't have much good interaction with other players. Oh yeah and about your "Who cares" attitude, plenty of people care. People that not only enjoy shooting enemies with the biggest ship that they can find, but people that came here to interact with others . Using words like "crying" and "whining" are unnecessary, forums exist for feedback and criticism, disagreements and agreements alike, if you don't like that, then don't participate or learn to participate in a civilized manner, simple as that.

There's one system that specifically exists for people like you, and it's called Connecticut, go ahead and have your idea of "fun" there, it is made for that.

HOW DOES IT NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE LORE ?
IT was a Gallic Loyalists vs Council and Bretonia Event... Outcasts unexpectedly showed up in Orkney and kinda messed up the ongoing battle ?
may be because Maltese Saw the Opportunity to strike its enemies while they are fighting one another and may be get to keep the spoils entirely for themselves...

As the Council Leader above me haz mentioned.. Both the fighting sides can turn against the Outcasts if they want.. Whatever... Do It...

By "Who Cares" I only meant that why it has to be The mentioned sides showing up in the system.. It is an open event.. Not like only certain registered factions only can show up.. Its nothing mentioned like that.. If it were a closed event where you require registration and sutff.. It were a different thing...

Connecticut is for Out Of Roleplay stuff.. And it isn't as active as a system with ongoing event..

If people like to take their "Biggest Ship" into the most "Active" Place... There is nothing wrong in that... For shooting or interacting with players.. For Whatever reason it might be... Their Choice...

AS For your ASSUMPTIONS about me... I made a Council Bomber on the very first day of the event.. And I have participated as an Indie council Bomber most of yesterday and this present day.. and obviously I did not go "Hey I'll destroy all your transport" *pew* *pew* *pew*.. I don't need to justify that as I already take screenshots of the Interactions I do...

The Only Difference is.. I don't mind suddenly seeing Maltese ships appearing in Orkney.. For me it was fun seeing them out of nowhere.. I don't understand why people have to bash them out on the forums for doing so...

You have your own definitions of "Fun".. Other People have theirs... If they are doing it in their ZOI, Not Breaking any Server Rules.. What is so wrong with that... Log your ships.. Deal with them,...

I'll stop whining after I start whining, otherwise it's a bit difficult, thanks for the advice though. Don't worry, I won't request those restrictions just because of a child's rant. People were not demanded, but asked to chose the factions this event was meant for, you are still free to play anything you want without having to be loud about it.

After a bit of thinking the only technical issue I could find with the participation of those not listed as eligible for the combat bonus is that their participation may prevent others with eligible characters getting the combat bonus they worked for. For example, a Valor taking out a Redemption almost entirely by himself will not get his reward if the last shots are fired by a Ranseur, nor will anyone get any bonus in an opposite case if the last hit on the Valor is made by a Deimos. It would be useful and quite considerate from everyone to keep that in mind when participating in combat in Orkney.

"Outcasts unexpectedly showed up" Hahaha, that's an oxymoron if I ever heard one, it would be more unexpected if they didn't show up.
It doesn't, they were just there to shoot stuff, your argument would make sense if they actually came there and did something interesting except just shoot at *****, like make a deal with someone etc.

Nobody's denying you the right to show up with whatever the hell you want but just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. And then don't expect people to not criticize dumb stuff happening in the event. Again you're talking nonsense. "For whatever reason it might be." There is no reason to bring your highly valued capital ships in a middle of a war zone far from home. If we all can just make up reasons just to do whatever the hell we want this wouldn't be a roleplay server it would be a wantplay server. I too want to bring my kusari gunboat in the middle of the system to "have fun" but it would not make sense whatsoever for me to do it.

Sure it is an open event but that event was made to promote factions other than lolcasts, those guys could've just as easily made 7 Maquis/Council/Brigand/GRN characters and made it much more interesting. You're not thinking about the context of stuff you're just criticizing people for criticizing.

As about the assumptions? What assumptions? You said it yourself:

"You guys want me to "create" a Coucil character ? Why ?? Or precisely a Bomber or Snub? Why??? I want to fight using a Capital Ship .. and I don't wanna spend money on a Council Cap Ship which I won't use later.... Why Can't I simply bring my CR Dread and halp whichever way I can... Or May be get killed by everyone coz they don't want my interference, Who Cares If CR is mentioned in event or not.. I just wanna have some fun..."

And now you're claiming you made a character on the first day, give it a rest man.

TL;DR: Just because its not against the rules doesn't make it immune to criticism and doesn't make it fine.

Yeah I find it alright to be criticized, it is you who is using terms like "crying" or "whining" while shouting that "It's all allowed." and telling people to shut up so you don't need to apply my own words to me, that's not how logic works. And.. You can't really RP a trigger happy reckless maltese army since it wouldn't be an army then.

Well of course I'm telling people what they "Should" do, you're doing the same thing, thats what the forums are for, its not about "w(h)inning" or anything its simple as
trying to prove my point as you're trying to prove yours, but the difference is I'm not telling you to "stop whining" and "stop crying", I am just trying to prove a point as to why is something stupid to do.
That's fine, I'm not even upset, people get angry, just try to reply without getting all worked up about it. You're just going to feel bad after it. Apology accepted , although it wasn't even necessary as its not like
I'm offended or anything, but still its a nice gesture.
