I think people will expect event staff to make mistakes in future and will definitely over-react at smallest opportunity.
Events might as well be detached from the main story development, and just be a times of activities that bring fun and rewards without any lasting consequences then, or with minimal ones.

Nothing new. The place has always been like this.

As much as I want to put a stupid message on here because it's Mep and that's what happens...
I can't agree more. It's why I've come back, as have a lot of people who are old school. Freelancer is such a unique game. And this community, for good or bad, is so unique.
I really don't want to see this community try and hang itself, because goddamn it's unique. Where else do you get a game that's 16 years old, with such a vested community in a system of the game that was never actually built on?
There's a lot that we can complain about, and there's a good reason why many complain and don't leave, because there's nothing like it. Like I said, for good or bad, we all appreciate what's happening. Because some of us, really don't want to move onto most other games because... They are either *Insert expletive of choice here* or have a really low replay-ability factor.

Wow. I am so glad I didn't participate. Though the few Order people that made some alts to join said they are far more confused than anything.
EDIT:
Considered doing no strings attached random events to stress-test the concept and ruleset before applying it to something that can have an impact, even if of least grandeur magnitude?

And that is a shame. You are missed as a player.
To all, I know I've made my share of mistakes as a player, more recently then before but I own them.
I've also been an Admin so I know how much work goes into this server and this game. If I had more time, I would do it again. FYI, it's the only game I play anymore as I still love it. I can't change Doc. He is what he is but I can expand other characters.
Seriously though, I think it's time to end the finger pointing and blaming and make this game the game we all love. I mean, we wouldn't be here if we didn't.
