Confusion about the latest nomad attack

[Sombs]

It was a stress test more than anything else, really. You probably already know that I tend not to do these that early in the morning, usually.
As for the numbers, you can ignore about 20 of them, because the nomad 3 event missiles are currently borked and do 100 damage per shot.

There were no nomads with torpedoes, however, so I am not really sure where did you get that from. The nomad bomber event npc has a snac and a CD launcher, a ship that is easily destroyed by snubs. You had quite a few near Manhattan before the timer ran out, so I am not really sure where they went by the time the spawn happened.

I am simply rather surprised that instead of walling off the area from civilians due to the numbers or doing some sort of similar roleplay expected from the military until you could muster the numbers, you were inclined to fly your ship right into it, die, then post a thread about it. Not that I did not expect that as, in the end, I rolled my eyes and despawned them.

Do not think that going into these PVE events will be easy. Not all of them are going to be balanced to your favor. You will just need to get your head around it.

Ouh, Spazzy, not every knows you that well. I don't know what your schedule is. What I know: Your schedule is [NOPE]d up. ;3

I mistook the missiles with torpedos - doesn't really make it better, though. I think the entire confusion is the result of a lack of transparency about what the event was intended about, though. I mean, look at what exactly happened. We got the coordinates, so we moved over with all the ships that logged for that time. Three capitals, one cruiser, one snub and one newbie gunboat. No bombers, at least not when I was around (and I was around at Hattan when the timer was at 7 minutes). So what we had, we brought. We didn't know the nomads would move anywhere, nor did we know that anyone else would log in time. After all, the only public announcement about it was ingame for ten minutes in the early hours and then in the shoutbox when I posted it there.

Let me say I'm a bit confused by what you're writing here right now, though. Usually those events feel like they are to fight hard NPCs. You often encourage people to respawn and go in again. We did out little RP lines, however the group consisted mostly out of newbies and beginner-roleplayers. Of course there is no coordination. People see NPCs, people throw everything they have at the NPCs. Either they don't know better or are used to it from previous events. Apart from that, there were no civilians around.

So it is pretty much a bunch of misconception from both sides right now, and that is exactly why I made this thread. There is a lack of transparency when those events happen. You can't make those quick-quick-events and expect people to plan out their roleplay behavior adjusted to that. They log to kill those NPCs. I take it you took this thread with a bit of salt, however that was not the intention of it. Tell people what to do and they do it, because usually they don't expect interactive NPCs.
