[Regional event] The Scouring of Bering

[Skorak]

There are no bonus credits. The bonus system is just active to count shipments. The price has been heavily increased instead.

Guys so running into own mines is an accident and doesn't count, them docking doesn't count
But I assume the carrier blowup bug does?

I wanted the kill so hard I lost the kill haha - kept shooting
Don't want money sent, just the point

Target sdf-marcos or something like that. Big kudos to him for not docking!

Commander Amy West will provide evidence if she would be so kind, I believe I did shoot the final blow


And then kept shooting the corpse in a fit of rage for my own downfall

Hello.

Please add points to the separatist side (Lyndon.Sherburne), for killing the navy here.

I've read through this entire thread and apparently a lot of people are discontent that LN and LSF seem to have the upper hand in this event. But, isn't it obvious that the state law enforcement would and should both outnumber and have a significant advantage over the separatist forces? At least from a purely logical perspective.

I must admit that I don't particularly understand this idea of forceful balance. In fact, I feel like in many cases it should be imbalanced rather than forcefully homogenised.

A good example of this forceful homogenisation can be found in ships and weaponry. By my reasoning - shouldn't the military have access to superior technology in comparison with the pirates, separatist and common rabble? Instead, all factions have access to pretty much equally strong ships and equipment. Which seems somewhat illogical. At least that's my take on it, as someone who is very new to computer games in general and fairly ignorant of their ways.

As for the event, what is a bit disappointing to me is that after some experimenting I found out that doing missions against Liberty Rogues in Pennsylvania brings in almost twice as much credits as smuggling all of this contraband materiel between Separatist bases which has a financially discouraging effect on further participation.

Yeah just next time make higher bounty amounts for the weaker side killing ships from stronger when there's such a big player base imbalance, easy fix

To address this point primarily, the Separatists are not simply angry, disgruntled pirates, they're a rogue Navy battlegroup with the same weapons and training as the Navy. The major disparagment is numbers wise the Navy has the fall back of multiple other fleets to rely if necessary, while the Separatists don't. While you could claim the Separatists ships are older, so is a number of Liberty's non replacement fleets.

The Legion is more or less near the same category. Ex-Navy personnel with the training, but home grown weapons and tools for the job opposed to using the same weapons and ships. However weapons made from the need for survival, with similar combat effectiveness limited by a mindless bureaucracy failing to wield that weapon. In raw material terms, Concord V Seps/HF isn't much of a lack of material as much as it is a numbers game. Concord can take a few swings on the chin and receive replacement ships in the blink of an eye, Separatists/HF have to preserve as many forces as they can because they don't have the reserves to pull from.

Thank you for your explanation, DarkTails.

[Skorak]

No one who actually wants to enjoy combat on this game would agree with in role play balancing.

It was a mistake not adding Hackers and Rogues to the event.
