The only reason Rogues being added to this would make any sense at all is because we aided Harmony and Hellfire against the Concord battlegroup already, I don't think any Hackers actually showed up for Skorak's events but I could be mistaken.
Though considering Hellfire/Seps have very few indies and hardly any official bois (at least in comparison to the blue bois), and the blue bois have a ton of official bois and indies, this event could've been thought through a tad more.
Also the fact that Indie Pirate ID has kill bonus on people makes little sense, because unfortunately, the indie Pirate ID has no engagement lines, so even if they pirate the guys invading bering, they'd have to hope they don't pay a reasonable demand of 1mil in a fighter for trespassing and wait for a gank squad to show up.
I don't enjoy sh*tting on events, because I really enjoy the time and work put in by the staff, but this event just... you can't do anything with Hellfire and Seps like this, slotted events are the only thing that will work because there just isn't enough of them to do anything with.
As a side note to this, Xenos also did roleplay regarding this (more than Rogues did) and they didn't end up in this event either. Though considering it's aimed specifically at Hellfire and Seps, and if you added Xenos and Rogues, nobody would log Hellfire and Seps, just like now, I understand why they did the things they did.
So in summary, they had jack sh*t to work with here and tried to make a good event, that didn't end up being that great. stuff happens, I'm thankful they're even giving us events, helping keep the server alive, old staff gave one like what.... every 5 months? (Exaggeration I know but it wasn't bi-weekly)
Staff just didn't have a lot to go with considering Seps and Hellfire are dead, bland and highly uninteresting factions with no appeal, which also makes it hard for their official groups to attract players. Vanilla factions, best factions.
