Pre 4.86 Event Round Two

[mjolnir]

It should be the players having fun at whatever we come up with, which so far has been the response that I've gotten on the event.

Yet there were quite a lot of things that were pointed as negative. Hence why people expect those to be adressed.

The last event was set up quickly because we didn't know that we'd have a server available that could run these things - so I was operating under a time constraint. This time we've a month to get ready.

a) it was announced a week before, and during the whole week I kept PMing you with stuff, to be ignored. Similarly many of the other things which were not properly done (like nav maps), could be done by numerous people on the dev team and tested and re-checked on the test server

b) when we have a month now then I guess we'll do it properly.

As I said for the first event, we're staging things that are supposed to have happened between 4.85 and 4.86 - and we're doing it with 4.85 ships. The players are getting the chance to be the npc's - the ones that come in endless waves, fight gallantly, and die bravely (and in mass quantities).

Yes I did propose battleships on both sides to have less primaries (= 4.86 like) and more defense turrets, interestingly enough that's exactly what NPC loadouts have now (in 4.85).
Same situation for the much discussed Kusari destroyer loadout, NPCs use 1 Razor and only 2 primary turrets ( on the right spots), not exactly similar to what was the loadout available for players.

Anyway loadouts are just a small fraction of it, it's the way you decided to runs this that's problematic.
