Oh and, as I forgot the main point I wanted to write about:
This event was really nice. Disco hasn't felt that active in a long time. Loved it!
I think that - for future events - there could be some sort of incentive for the opposing force, like a kill bonus on ships that carry the event cargo? (if that is possible). Core players somewhere have a point when they say: we had no real reason to go aggressively after transports, even though the blockades were at times really tight.
I also liked the surge of forum rp that was generated. That was where Zoners excelled.
I would have liked it even more if Zoners had also challenged Core in space more, but I guess this is too much to ask these says (without a ZA)
And, I -loved- the AoI move with the NEMP to pour gasoline into the fire. Great move.
