Ages ago I used to do small mini events in game. Quite oftenn these were "in the spur of the moment" events that had mixed results mostly because they were so unplanned but also mostly because I was still learning the systems and made a few mistakes here and there. Now that I am more familiar with the systems in place I would like to start these sporadic
mini events in game once again but with more planning. I'd like to get more factions / people involved in the planning to make part of it more streamlined.

So my question is, and what I want feedback on, would you like to see these back in the game? Do you have any suggestions on mini events or what you guys want to see? Rewards? etc. Bare in mind these "mini events" won't be advertised on the forums. They'll be advertised in game with little to no notice. They'll also be short events spanning roughly no more then an hour.

I have a few plans already. I also have a lot of tools to work with so events such as PVE elements, random buffs to trade routes, spawnable PoBs with many models to use, PvP events etc.

This sounds exciting a good way to spice things up for regular players. Depending on how frequent they are they can increase the average amount of players in game.
Looking forward to them.

Very much in favour.

You may also want to take a middle approach, for example announcing the day before that things will be happening in-game between X and Y time. That still gives you flexibility in where you go and what you do, but puts people on notice that they should log in and find out what's going on.

I'd also suggest creating a new opt-in role for events on the community Discord that can be pinged as things are starting.

If ever you want a hand with event prep or management, I'm always happy to help too.

Definitely in favor of mini events. The few times I've seen them (mostly swarms of Nomads circling in Delta, and massive PvE to survive against them), they were pretty fun. gives something to do when nothing else is on
