[Official event] Journey of the Argonauts

[jammi]

Hi all

The Hackers were an intended surprise, yes. I asked for a wing to be assembled as a way of throwing a chaotic curveball at the event. From observing, the Hackers were generally outnumbered but were far more coordinated in Kepler. That said, I didn't expect the impact would be quite that decisive.

The exit JHs were also set to Kepler and Copernicus - I'm not sure why the names on the Earhart side didn't update, so I am sorry for the confusion that caused. I'm aware that this information being more accessible probably would have changed the calculus on where the fleets went.

As for the event ending, we had intended to run into engine problems and have the Lifter stall as soon as an intercept happened. But there wasn't one - my understanding is the majority of the participants were preoccupied with an unrelated fight in Galileo.

When the interceptors did arrive in Ontario, the Lifter halted (at Cochrane admittedly) to provide a chance for a last minute reversal. Unfortunately Barrier had a situation come up and had to leave immediately (which is where the F1 occurred).

We'll be reviewing the feedback and have already taken on lessons about how the event ran. We'll factor that in to future plans.
