There's a few points that I want to make to, hopefully, make the upcoming events more fair. I'm speaking for (what I assume) are all of the people who've flown the Unidentified ships, because from what I could gather we pretty much have the same opinion.
First, and probably the worst part of this, the Repair Ship. The Repair ship was always on the Barge, making it impossible to do more than a scratch. We tried (and did) to kill it a few times, but when it has the ability to respawn what is at most 50k away from the Barge, and at best like 5k, then there is not much point in doing so. By the time it's back, it'll have healed the Barge to full in a few seconds while the Unidentified side has to chew through over 6 million HP.
Second, the bases. It was very unfun for everyone involved to have to always fly from Omega-7 to whereever the Barge was. Dying as an Unidentified felt incredibly punishing while dying as a defender literally did not matter because of the number of people, but also because of the amount of bases they had available for them to dock at. There was at least one in every system, sometimes multiple.
And last, the people who defended the Barge. Yeah, this was an event, but that shouldn't mean that Auxesia + Zoners + Corsairs + Coalition + Bounty Hunters + MND + Freelancers should be in the same group, not doing a single thing about each other. What this did was that people who would normally shoot each other, and possibly the Barge, just rallied together and played the Defender role when the Event was set up in a way where they were allowed to attack despite not running the Unidentified ID.
And while the NPC's were present to "balance" out the event, they really didn't do anything at all in the end. They've scratched the Barge in 41 before the Unidentified people joined together to shoot it, but that's pretty much it. During the important parts of the event, they've just been killed while chasing a lone bomber or cruiser, and not focusing on the Barge like I imagine they should've. Also the fact that the Battleships were hostile to us as well, meaning they really weren't on our side either.
