We broke a long time record in global player numbers yesterday. Disco has not felt this "alive" for me in 2 years.
The convoy with 20+ ships was awesome, and had interesting rp, and triggered tense pvp.
The whole exhuberant "let's run DROP" atmosphere changed into a darker "Let's be aliens now!" and it created a dark, remarkably authentic scenario in which alien raidforces would be awakened by the traffic in Delta and would prey on them. A strong alien presence also generated interesting situations of Core-Zoners-Order either fighting aliens, or using the aliens to dispose of their political enemies.
Thank you to the Admins for making this one.
It changed a rather negative atmosphere of "QQ, ZOnerZonerZoner, deleteCore, Rage" to something constructive that I would say is widely received as cool.
I would suggest - for a follow up event - to give something to Core, who atm moment got the short end of the stick (but also do not lose anything at the moment by the event). I would suggest a "positive" task (of reinforcing their defenses? Digging in?), not a "intercept and destroy" (except if Core wants that actually). I would say talking to Lyth is the way to find out which way they want to go.
Great job!
These events are the way to make Disco feel dynamic and give "real" reasons to log, play, interact.
