I didn't partcipate in the first half with the stuff involving the OC. But I must say that from where I did take part, it was really really fun. Lots of factions active, lots of action. And the brawl at the end with Corsairs+allies vs Golden C+Bundschuh+GMG was intense although it was also really confusing with all the different alliances. A diplomatic hell but that was also kinda the fun thing about it.
