The rules are there. If you're feeling like one side is being too much - ask the staff members who can actually do something about it. Sorry, but I can't do much here other than ask them to kindly balance each other and to keep mutual enjoyment in mind.
That's sad. I wish you could actually do something since you run the thing. The report is there, I'll observe what the staff members will do, thanks.

Your idea of fair play is 1 cruiser vs. 1 gunboat with you in the cruiser.
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

Indeed.
Indeed a 3v3, sadly your partners left you. That's actually the only good fight I had today. This is how it started btw
What are you rambling about here? You can’t go up against snubs with a cruiser and then start spouting “fair play” nonsense.
First of all, from watching that video, that brain-dead cruiser should have pulled back when only a single snub was left.
Second, if you want a 1vs1 ,cruiser against a gunboat , then go to Conn.
Third, as was already mentioned here, your idea of “fair play” seems to be you in a cruiser and the opponent in a gunboat or in a snub.
Maybe it’s time you learned to fly snubs?
I am not a native English Speaker, so i make grammar errors.
But it annoys me when people make silly comments about that... especially brits who for the most part can't speak their own language let alone anyone elses!

Brings a Cruiser to an event where the opposing faction has snubs only, complains he's getting 2v1ed /3v1ed and demands ooc that a gunboat appears, files a report and then additionally complains on the forum pretending to be the worlds biggest victim of mass murder and wrongdoings so big brother Staff comes in and vanquishes those sinners! How dare 3 snubs engage a cruiser! My not so funny sarcasm aside, if you're bringing in cruisers as a snub player ( I know you play snubs can't lie to me, so that's on you ) you're in no position to complain whatsoever about a 3 (2 of which are bad players) v 1. The Victim Mentality has engulfed Discovery and somehow certain people giving the shittiest experience pretend and yell that they are the one receiving the shittiest experience.
p.s continuous combat docking deprives the opposing factions of points in the event and goes against the spirit of the event.
Something that's a little awkward in snub fights in this event is that the NPCs can be a real hindrance and tilt fights unfairly, and make for awkward rp. This is an old problem of course and I don't expect you to have an easy fix for it, but I think it should still be noted.
If it's possible, it could be interesting for a player surrounded by enemy NPCs to be prioritised for friendly NPC spawns or something, if an enemy player is also present. Or, dumb down enemy NPCs if an enemy player is present.
Also, shouldn't combat docking count for something too? I was fighting an adversary and they combat docked, which kinda-technically counts as a pvp death, but I didn't gain anything.
To address the Combat Docking. If you have visual (or any other sort of) evidence that your opponent did, in fact, combat dock - you may submit those in this thread. And do include the names of other people who were engaged in a fight (if there were any). You and all included in the assault will be given a compensatory point and payout after the event had ran its course.
As for NPCs. :shrug: Sorry, but you'll have to negotiate with players on the other side.
