No offense to the event, these events are good things to keep busy with, but this is also a negative effect of kill counter events. We literally make the battles about mindless pvp. Now this event does have some consequence over the BHG station, but no one really cares. BHG are practically non existent anyways.
I'd get involved if it were over a more important station, or a shipyard, and there was a larger goal of saving the station. No one cares about kill counting or kill denial when there is a bigger picture to worry about. If something actually is at risk, ships will fight to the last to save an important base or system. Or if ships do withdraw by docking, all that matters is you got them out of the battle. That is a win too. If a base were under siege, forcing a BS to dock helps greatly.
I dont mind kill bonuses but we focus only on jamming people into pvp, when we could set up a scenario that would get players focused on the goal rather than who got away. If a base is under siege, if you drive away 10 battleships that would attack it, but dont kill any, if you saved the base all the damage that would have come, thats worth more than any amount of kills in my eyes. Inrp thats also worth a promotion or medal.
