After much discussion within the story team, we have determined the outcome of this event to be a draw.
What that means is both victory outcomes will occur:
The Battleship Beuvray has been lost to allied assault and will become a wreck.
One Corsair battleship will move to the New London theater as reinforcement.
However because of this outcome, this weekend's event will be different from what we originally were planning to do. You will also see the impact of this event's results there.
Additionally:
Future events will not use NPCs. Any special ships appearing in events from now on will be player-flown.
Future events will be designed to prevent draws unless this is a desirable outcome.
We are currently discussing a limited registration system to allow freelancers to participate without impacting the balance of future events.
