Additional info, since Barrier is currently away. Two voice channels on the main Discovery discord have been created, one for the aliens and one for the humans.. The Wild staff ships along with the alien forces will be there, spectators are welcome to join.
New rewards:
If all alien event ships are destroyed, the human faction (indie + OF ID) with the most alien kills in this convoy event only will get two undockable gunboat solars in an appropriate location relative to the event's story. The exact location will depend on the winning faction.
If all alien event ships are destroyed there will be minor story changes that will reflect on the Wild's defeat.
