It was my decision that not all events are not always going to be balanced based on the potential candidates online at the time, on the account that they are not balancable. The requirement for capital ships is not fully accidental, as players want something to -do- in their capital ships and thus their presence are made obligatory to take these events on.
Some of these events are easier, some are meant to outright block off a certain route or passage and need to be dealt with over time.
The Ish-Tar npc, however, has been spawned once over the course of the last week, in Galileo as an end-stage for the mini-event there. It was not meant to be taken on and, obviously, retreated into the anomaly short after. I am not sure how it ended ''on top'' of you given that it was spawned 10k away from you, but I have a feeling that cruising into the field of nomads was possibly a mistake on your part.
By all means, do not attend the events if you are not capable of finding a target for your ship to shoot or bring a ship that can handle the events.
I would say that the players would have had a bigger chance with a titan ship, but that requires a model. Cultists need snub participation due to the anti-cap missiles they use and your ability to disrupt them. Nomads PVE has different requirements.
