Quote:Wasn't that already set before the event? I thought the corp side was meant to win, when they had 30 free slots for their transports/escorts -and- a repair ship, while unlawful side had only 8 total. So I don't really see what's there to debate, it was a "meant to win" event from the very beginning, 30v8, no?
In no way was I expecting the corporate side to win. Infact, it was less than 20 ships on our side, not 30, and I don't even know how many you guys had - more than those who signed up formally.
We had so few escorts per transport I'm surprised your bombers didn't just pick them off one at a time and achieve your desired objective. Hell, two of those Herons were nearly unarmoured.
Quote:Also, it wasn't "two bombers and a vhf", it was only 2 Katanas.
Well, whoops, I got it wrong in the heat of combat. I didn't bother to get the Pirates to list their ship types beforehand.
Quote:I told the whole group multiple times to move away from Sapporo (KSP station near NT gate) and try to catch the convoy near the sun instead.
So much for the ambush I was expecting, it was more like a roadblock.
Quote:Basically, there were a bunch of problems, including ... a general lack of obeying the attendance list and aforementioned regulations.
I'm going to be enforcing this like hell next time. If I don't get ganked first while typing.
Edit:
I learned plenty of things from how this whole event turned out, and have plenty of changes to implement.
Next time, I'm sure it will all be a much more positive experience.
