[Nomad Incursion Event]: Kyushu (Concluded)

[Mickk]

The battleship encounter at Kyushu is already enough. It has a static battleship and can spawn another battleship with escorts.

Meh, remember in Vanilla it took pretty much the combined efforts of several faction to make the Nommies go back to where they came from?

I know that this is a 'limited' incursion, but I'd still want as many ships as possible to throw at the Nomads if they popped up thru a random hole in my sector.

It's hard to log for the Defender's side, when there are Wild and Nomads following basic RP and shooting traders passing through, and getting 25 million for each easy kill. It's an event that favors the Nomad gank.

What this event encourages to is weird in general, to be honest. I was surprised to see traders were supposed to bring wartime supplies to the battleship at Kyushu, which takes literally one lane to move to in Kyushu. Since the nomad side is expected to be a threat to those traders, the nomads are expected to hug the trade lane between the New Tokyo gate and Planet Kyushu. Nomad Liberty Rogues. The event bonus counts only for Kyushu, so the partaking people with sirius-wide terrorist ID (all Wilds, K'hara) weren't encouraged to intercept traders on the rest of the route. Cargo piracy isn't a thing with this commodity either, and with the event commodity plugin. So what could have been done from the opponent side is literally just either hugging that one trade lane or log a pirate and intercept the traders in the other systems of the route to tax them, which wouldn't have any impact on the event.

I mean, there were quite some people that either stopped logging once something nomad-ish was in Kyushu, or the traders were moving off-plane or even took the way over the Taus to avoid that one hot spot. When I saw that, it felt like those guys deserved to reach Kyushu for not really making any profit with this, as they could have done any other trade route and would have gotten more moneys. Makes me hope those guys get something that was worth the countermeasures. I think, given the numbers on the nomad side, people weren't encouraged to actually log and fight against mainly |Aoi and Wilde. The only real danger were the Serpents, who consisted mostly of people that logged for the other side before. As a reaction to that, knowing who those people were, they got fought merciless.

To be honest, what I would have liked to see was a certain optional goal. Kyushu is one of the few systems that are blessed with containing a Research Station. The station is pretty isolated, however accessable from multiple points. There are enough jump holes leading to Kyushu. What I would have liked to see is an optional commodity with the aim to create something to disrupt the new jump hole. Have you ever moved to Omicron Zeta? Something like the thing the Nomads have there. Either a Jump Hole Disruptor or a Singularity Flux Cannon to shoot at the Jump Hole or whatever. The optional goal could have decided whether the event stays for another few days or is ended early. One could have even added a third stage after the construction of said anti-Jump Hole thing, where people had once a day the chance, at a set time, with a registered Base Construction Ship, to start out at the Research Station and have to move to the Jump Hole to place the object (quasi like placing a new PoB, just that it will instantly get deleted and replaced by a more appropiate model/object). The nomad side would have to prevent it at all cost, and the human side could have gathered for that one major fight to ensure the BCS reaches the target location (which probably would have simply resulted in the human side logging all their ships to fight the nomads first and once it's secure, they would have brought the BCS in). If the human side fails, they can give it another try in one or two days again. Again, with a set event phase time and a registered BCS. And in the meantime, people still bring the wartime supplies to Kyushu, to ensure the Planet can sustain the defending ships and the battleship.

The event is actually a bit longer than you might think. Just wait until the nomads reach their goal or the supplies are fully delivered.

"Longer than you might think" - Don't say that, Spazzy. So far only Foxglove was able to say that without causing awkward moments when it happened. ;3

Uhhh What?
I bought 5k of wartime supplies, solt them on the Battleship and got this message? What happened there, Spazzy?

[Sombs]

Did you buy exactly 5.000 units or did you buy one time something less than 5.000 and another load to get it up to 5000?

I bought Exactly 5000 Units.

[sasapinjic]

Or you sold in wrong place , perhaps in Planet by mistake instead in Battleship , or in another Battleship ?
Anyway , dosent mater , just buy cargo back if sell in wrong place and sell on right place , it is cargo value thats matter in this event , not bonus , since bonus is only 1 credit per unit .
