Considering:
1: The old existing playerbase - 75% will be against Corsairs - and some of the best PVPers being OCs
2:The need for new players to participate in fun events and hopefully tell their friends about it!
3: The "Kansas" debacle - where everyone chose a side, over logged and the fun was gone
4: Lack of turrets and turret efficiency on the PoBs
5: The "Freedom" of choice for players to participate in what ships they want in what will be "DTR vs Freelancer Discovery" Event
6: DTR being the main recruiter of new players and main activity generator for the past year
7: 1st Navy activity hours after the Kansas event - yes, that was quite a drop in activity! (Point 6 applies to 1st Navy too)
8: Personal and subjective opinions aren't relevant.
BALANCE THE EVENT! GIVE THE DEFENDERS A FIGHTING CHANCE! Yes, that includes the PVPers in the server splitting up and actually fighting amongst themselves. Enough Duck hunt! Fight someone who's on your level, not NPCs with extra neurons.
KEEP THINGS BALANCED AND FUN FOR EVERYONE! ESPECIALLY THE NEW PLAYERS! As someone said: they are the bread and butter of the server!
