If you calculate it that there can be 10 caps with 4 primary turrets, 9 million hitpoints are gone after 9.222 seconds
Wich is kind of not really what is intended I guess.
HP on capital targets have been adjusted to 18 million.
I'm more or less banking on the fact that all of the caps won't be able to focus these targets 100% of the time.

The caps can simply ignore the Nomad forces and kill the objectives while their fighter wings deal with anything else. I'm not convinced that this will work at all.
I think that's a bit too late now, as multiple players have already registered their caps. I see the capital ship targets are something that could make the difference in this event, and I think both sides should have a chance of winning, so I don't see a problem with making very tough capital targets. 50 millions per target, maybe? Even if the capitals don't make it, there are lots of VHFs with Torpedos and Bombers, I guess.
The problem is simply that caps will severely imbalance this event as they did with the Newcastle one. There is no way to kill a snub that is hugging a Solaris battleship and killing a battleship that is protected by snubs with snubs is also very difficult, unduly so, since the Nomad side has nothing to compensate for this imbalance.
It'd be fun to see some people turn on each other due to rivalries.
It's a little late to deny caps as a whole. Sadly they're there to stay.
Coordination can be powerful indeed.
50 million HP is quite a lot. Paired with the fact that humans are probably not able to respawn (Unless the admins decide that snubs should respawn for a bit, which is a possibility seeing how things go)
I'm going to keep things at 18 million HP for each of the nodes, since I don't think the capitals will be allowed to respawn.
I might not be home in time for the event. I'm going camping. I've made a document and had Hannibal test things on his end to make sure he can spawn everything in properly with a script I wrote, so i'm sure that things will still go if i'm not around (i'll try to be)
Are Nomad indies also allowed to participate? Also, will they be able to respawn after death? As you've mentioned humans, I'm wondering about alien side
