Pre 4.86 Event Round Two

[mwerte]

I'll write up a semi-comprehensive list when I get home from work, because I'm fleeing this accursed windowless place right now.

Semi-comprehensive list of all that I felt could be done better next time around.

• Lack of co-ordination between sides.
  
  
  
• Lack of Fleet Leaders controlling each side.
  
  
  
• Weird instances like the GRN docking on IMG bases (Java and Holman) and KNF docking at the gate construction site.
  
  
  
• More consistant fleet leaders, who (A) know what their doing (B) can control the masses (C ) can organize the fleets to be more then just running into a furball and dying (D) can help prevent some of the rather inane stuff, like KNF dessies fighting with the GRN, and vice versa, and LNS caps fighting in the Taus.
  
  
  
• Less armor on capships. Seriously, cap VIIIs on Valors was just a bit much. Give the caps normal VIIIs, the fighters an armor V. (or whatever's just enough to survive a nuke/mini razor)
  
  
  
• Give ships a variety of weapons. I.E. give a fighter 2 debs, 4 faction guns (or 3 of each if a faction has more then one gun), a missile or two, a mini razor, a train CD, a nuke mine, a screamer mine, ect. Let each person mount what they like best. Capships too. Different fighting styles, ect.
  
  
  
• The constant re-engaging. Which is fine, to a point, but when you have 5 battleships shooting you, you kill one, and it's back in the fight before you've killed the next one, it becomes slightly aggravating. Have a cool-down period. Unless there's a FLHook method that can stay with multiple characters (/restart makes it really easy to avoid a character temp ban), maybe an account ban? Or have the spawn point be a handful of systems back from the fighting. It might be possible to make it so that even if you dock somewhere to buy bots/bats/ammo, you don't respawn there. (via character deletion?). It could make running a worthwhile tactic.
  

Just some thoughts, don't be afraid to ask for help.
