Order vs BHG vs Nomads Battle #2 Event Feedback Poll

[Cond0r]

Worse/Yes/Yes

I cant say that I didn't have my share of fun on this event, as did everyone. But, in my opinion, it was badly planned. First of all the loadouts on ships were just terrible. The BH bomber had a snac and nova while the Order bomber had a snac and cd, which makes absolutely no sense at all.

Secondly the Manta had Buckshots (which are 750 speed) and Debs MK II (which are 650 speed), and at these events, I have no intention of flying to Freeports, getting bribes and buying new equipment just because whoever set the ships up never heard that different projectile speeds screw up your aim.

Furthermore, the loadouts on some capital ships were terrible as well. The Osiris had good default loadout (anti cap) but the Bullhead and Thresher had horrible - not so good loadouts respectfully. I mean, the Bullhead had every possible capital ship weapon on it including Cerberus turrets (if I'm not mistaken). Maybe the person who equipped them wanted to see rainbows when the weapons fired, I don't know.

There is also the fact that the Order were spawning in their guard system, which made changing equipment for them very, very easy, while the Bounty Hunters had to travel for 20 mins to get to their guard system and back.

While I support the 'third side' and all, the co-ordination was just horribly planned. Almost none of the players on this 'third side' aka the Nomads knew what to do or where to go when the restarts for them were enabled. Not to mention that you had to travel around 100k to reach the battle, and then travel 100k again when you are killed or if you want to resupply. For people like myself, who had no idea how to even get out of the damn minefield surrounding that Nomad base, it wasn't fun. Not to mention that no one knew what the Nomads were supposed to do, or when to attack. Even Keeper players, at one point said: "//Where are we supposed to go and when are we supposed to attack?"

For me the experience was worse because the battles weren't at all fluid. At one minute 15 Makos are camping Toledo, undock killing everything, and after they got bored of Makos everyone switches to Osirises and then 15 Osirises camp the Freeport, killing every Hunter that comes by.

The battles in the previous event have been more fluid, more flexible, with more places to engage in and divide the fleet.

Yes I want to see more events, but not planned and executed like this one (I still voted yes). I want to see players encouraged to get in a fighter, or bomber. I want to see players encouraged not to immediately hop into a damn battleship. It is not fun when you are the only one in a fighter, and are being shot at by 5 Battleships, 4 Destroyers and 3 Gunboats (4 of those cap ships being full solaris).

A small ship furball would be more fun then 15 Battleships camping one spot for 2 hours. Also, either give players the same ability to change equipment, or don't give them that ability at all. More organization would also be nice.

And for Gods sake do get the equipment and loadouts right.

My feedback.
