This was the first time I genuinely feel disappointed by an event. Not because I got my teeth stomped in because I'm trash at pvp and generally try to log the side I expect to be the underdog so that's par for the course .
But because of the decisions made, from the aforementioned split up Kusari camp, to the confusion on how to exit the Earhart system with the argonaut, to the hackers just completely invalidating anyone having been there. It was unenjoyable, the only highlight for me personally was making the call in group chat to destroy(/damage) the argonaut to prevent it from falling into hacker hands fully intact and then unloading 16 rage torpedo's on it before liberty and the hackers started realizing what I was doing. The Ontario jumphole being guarded by 3 hackers on the colorado side and 5-6 on the ontario side, while the Kusari and Liberty fleet were busy shooting eachother and the only people that made it were those that slipped past the blockade, was another sour note. (Though in defense of the hackers on the Colorado side, they didn't lolgank and just tried to CD).
I'm not sure I'll participate in similar events in the future after this experience, hopefully the team learns from the event and improves on the formula like they have with other ship escort events to date.
