I see my name is scratched from the gallic side so it's all good.

Now we have that weird situation when all the PvPers join one side, are then mingled across both by the dice, then the half on the original side leaves, but the other half stays. Maybe a notice in large red letters in the original post, something like "please read who has already applied before applying" would be useful? I'm sure none of these coincidental occurrences were intentional, but were merely misinformed, innocent omissions.

Whats the point of these? Everyone needs these to have organized pews? I never understood the desire to only ever go into a balanced fight that had to be pre arranged. If no one cares and its just for the pew why not have these in conn? these registration events that dont allow NEMP's because whiny players cant handle a loss seem super oorp to me. if no one cares what side they wind up on i just dont understand what the point is.

Why not set Embrun to a billion HP and let the Gaians (and whoever really) try to destroy it over the course of a week? Then the factions can organize attacks, and if a side has worse odds because they are outnumbered, they could use a balancing factor to give the underdog a better chance, like using NEMP's? Or hiring freelancers inrp. Give it some time, real time, and a real 'objective', the real consequences of a victory for the Gaians or not can actually be enticement to join a side and help.

This is literally just show up, line up, pew, end. those seeking blues get what they want, tons of opportunity for the rest of the server thrown away. Story artificially moves on which is actually not moving at all as such. There are many ways to balance out these situations to make them interesting and attract people, and it would help if players were given some notice a battle like this was coming, they could prepare by organizing, seeking players to join them, etc.

Its like this, I havent played Gaians as they never interested me that much so far, but if a real battle breaks out over a battleship, and its fall greatly effects how the Gaians move forward, vs how the Enclave moves forward, I'd grind to make a cruiser to jump in. And if it cant be taken down in a single assault, I'd keep at it if we could continue to try shaving off HP with every attack.

Let super weapons and repair ships be balancers. Making repair ships work on bases like this opens up a whole new role and chance to score back. Enclave guys might not have a huge force that can get on all at once but if they cant defend the ship they could always try repairs between attacks.

Or maybe instead of insisting on micromanaging teams to indulge people who are much afraid to die in 16 years old arcade space shooter we should just let people play as factions that they are actually interested in playing. Maybe even with the friends who they actually enjoy playing with.

You can still play with friends, they will just be on the other side. After all, is it not more fun to have a challenging battle against your equals, than gang up with your equals against [insert adverb] challenged players? Or am I a dinosaur here and the world has evolved without my notice?

More challenging battle can be done with adding weaker side more gunabots over enemy superior fighter force, for example. Not to mention that for some reason only snub battle is being a concern. We clearly did not stomp anyone at the last event, and there's zero evidence to suggest that we would do it here. But I assume that opposing faction have ruled out otherwise for whatever reasons they might have against us. At least there are rumors that there were massive complainings from their side to event organized, as they had a higher chance of losing a snub part. And actually refused to register. I am not appreciating this win or not play mentality and I fail to see why staff member would support it.

Did you not refuse to register yourself after the teams had been made equal? Is this not the "win or not play" mentality that you are speaking against?

It suffices to say the rumours are false. Please don't accuse us of things we haven't done, thanks.
