The event seems one-sided.
Why play the pirate terrorist who blues transports? We all know that leads to either heightened playerlist avoiding, and/or salt.
Instead, you can make ~600k per trip.
I realistically cannot see more than a handful of pirates garnering 6 kills, in order to break even by not playing the lawful side, by the end of this event.
There is no incentive to play the unlawful side, economically and socially.
Tie in the fact that the game just had an economy rework and introduced heftier moneysinks, kinda unproductive to just let the player base print money like this.
These are my first impressions and concerns about the event, and it is only the first evening. So we will have to see how it continues up until the next weekend.
