[Official Event] Endless Flood

[Anguirus]

I was one of the last transports to make it out of capetown to durban with 3 datacenters when I sold on durban it said the databank part is over but we only made it home with 10 mins to spare. It counted the crew that I had but not the databanks. I remember barrier saying on discord the plugin might have messed up so thought I'd make a post.

[09.02.2025 19:50:18] You have finished the event: Capetown Crew Evacuation
[09.02.2025 19:50:18] Sorry, this event is currently completed. [me selling the databanks]

It was the only life where I made it out.

I know this event had plenty of salt, but what event doesn't nowadays.

It was fun to have big fleet fights and chaos all around, and I appreciate that we're getting cool events like this. The only real complaint I have is balancing, but with skill and organisation playing such a big part and people wanting to play what they like (which I don't blame them, I do the same), it's a fruitless venture to try to balance.

Great event with a lot of cinematic and tense moments otherwise.

Is it possible to pool all of our group/faction's points to one, as opposed to strictly per-player?

What no call out to Order sticking around and covering Cores (mostly zoner fueled) evacuation?

[Chronicron]

What this - and previous week's - event has shown is that two-front confrontations don't really work, and it's not due to factors that could be affected by the event management, the development or other staff. It's entirely on the community to make the fights and faction presence more diluted. The Core was an evident underdog in this one - with a relatively small playerbase and presence, that was to be expected, and for all fairness, the Core should have been given an even fight, with the reinforced Nomad Capitals attending to Cairo first rather than Capetown, especially since Cairo had a much higher damage cap.

Heyo, K'Hara|Du'Fre-Ka,Soh'r and Wilde.Vedrfolnir here. When the time comes, there will be a post or two on participation. Got alot to write at the moment.

I will however state that I do wish to claim the Cloak Mk. 2A, once the postings are finished and put up (i am aware I have an outstanding one from last weeks event but i have an awful lot of lancing to do and theres both only one of me and one braincell in operation on this. Don’t worry, ill get there… eventually.)

Faction rewards will be addressed when the time comes, too. We (Wilde.) are undecided for the time being.

Thank you for a mass murder event. Personally felt that the balancing could be looked into a bit better, as we had similar issues to last weeks sieges. Respawns should probably also be tweaked on the sides, depending on the circumstance. The move to Ontario of half the Order fleet was both welcome and amusing, but not what was desired.

It might also have to be said that event participants should have to group up, because it was noted that while the /gs showed correctly numbers, some groups deliberately formed several different, smaller groups or remained outside of their grouped up main force. This skewed the balance viewing of Day One. I should also point out that just because we had 28 people in that group, not all of them were locked in the main fight. Some were in different systems, some were in different areas of the same system (part of the blockade efforts). we not once had all ships in group fighting around one location.

We also were not aware that the sieges were not mandatory, meaning we could have just arranged an area to all fight that wasn’t in that godawful rockfest of a nebula lol. That meant we were right outside both bases when we didn’t need to be. Probably less than optimal reading on my part. It also hindered our real objective.

For those who have views on transports being engaged. In an event like this, they are very much counted. You are completing an objective that we are attempting to prevent. You are participating, and therefore you are both a valid pvp target, and a valid player counted in the numbers. Primarily because… well. You had combat ships hauling event goods. You didn’t really need transports at all to be fair.

To answer the “abusing respawns” issues that came up. I did make note of some Order vessels doing such during the event, and i kept tabs on the aliens side. From what I observed, both by docked ships and by those that were posting their respawns, we were adhering to it. There may have been one or two that slipped through the cracks, but 15 minutes is a drag when respawning, and a breeze while you’re in combat. Alot of us were commenting on how in the situation where we were being overwhelmed with numbers that we still didn’t have event respawn timer reduced to compensate. Instead, what happened was, half your forces got beamed to almost the furthest system from Mu.

Neither side is devoid of blame for excess numbers on people. Everyone did it. Except Core, who just had the unfortunate happenstance to meet the *entire* Siege fleet and decided not to log for it again. I don’t blame em, but at the same time… the Core side last week just steamrolled Zeta. Maybe this happens to be a bit of Karma for that? Idk.

All in all, the event concept and writeup was awesome, the balancing was a little ass both ways at some points and theres probably maybe tweaks that need to be made to these kinda events in future.

Okey, on behalf of most phoenix that were present, we enjoyed that event, thanks for that!
Kudos to the Order, awesome escort it was a blast.
Also kudos to the alien side, it was a blast, literally. Please send back our transport pieces back to kadesh.
And next time @Eternal.Journey HOLD STILL while I unload some refreshing hailfire on your face

With 4 pilots we did:

• 55% of cairo evacuation (and like 90% of the first day evac)
  
• 26% of order databanks
  
• 75% of the core evacuation
  
• 30% of the core databank
  

Thanks for the outcome mention, I guess. And don't pull a trojan horse in those magic refugee that we never dropped at fp11 >: (
I don't know why, I have a feeling that zoner will once again get the short end of the stick, as it's the classic disco running gag.
Don't forget OSI and MFE approval before making it the first nomad freeport, if the corsair don't take it first.

Now the reward!
I was (\^/)Epimoni, (\^/)Arkhaios, (\^/)Thelema, and (\^/)Skia
So 3630 crew and 10 databanks, it should be worth 200 Shipyard Components. If you can drop 200 Superstructure Systems to the bristol akutan pob that would be nice.
I'll also take Mobility Scooter Enjoyer as Custom Title.

Thanks.

Hey. Here [NCC/PG]Custodian. It was, after all, a pretty fun event.

I would like to claim the custom title "Deux's Chosen One".

And here is my RP about the event. https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2359249

Many thanks!

Is it possible to pool all of our group/faction's points to one, as opposed to strictly per-player?

The current event had both individual and faction rewards, and unfortunately I will not be adding any after the fact. I will continue to expand the faction rewards for future events.

[Hoffman]

I want my reward. Move 100 Shipyard components to Alba Station (my POB in Omicron Alpha) . My first RP report ever made, judge accordingly please

It is less "new rewards to add" and more bunching up all of our points for cloaks to one destination.

With the assumption that is still a no, I will have a Mk2 cloak on CNS-Medellin please.
