We're working through changes that will hopefully resolve these issues. If they don't, keep telling us what's broken.
In the future, we'll likely try to patch bad NPC patrols out if they'll grief players at their spawn area, before a running event of this sort. Next time we'll make preparatory steps, and we're starting to create routes through which we can better test the consequences of changes before we act on them in the future. This kind of problem shouldn't reoccur next time.

All criticism is useful! We will get it fixed, guys.

Granted.
Please be a bit patient with the new Team.
With the sudden exiting from the Team of Durandal & Xalrok with little or no handover notes, the new Management hadn't quite realised what was involved in the organising of an Event.
They are seeing that it isn't just a matter of throwing out an Event and watching the outcome.
In future there will a lot more planning involved and, as Lanakov said, more discussions between the different Departments.
We ask for your forgiveness and hope you will just go out and have fun. After all, it is a Game and not life or death.
@Markam have informed us that Xalrok informed the remaining dev. team about how patching the server should be done. And yet, as a matter of fact the event is getting thrown in overnight with multiple disadvantages for the Federal side listed above while Imperial is moving around unrestrained. For whatever reason the changes for the event were only made serverside and a patch that is already long overdue - is still not released despite the dev. team's knowledge of patching process and Imperial Rheinland being in development for roughly six months. Perhaps, if you were not prepared for it - it should have been postponed until everything, including necessary patches, is ready.
I am sure that is basically what I said.
I will try again.
The Devs thought that putting in an Event was just matter of making the Event and sitting back. (most know what thought did).
Now they have learnt it involves a bit of planning. (duly noted) Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
It also requires a bit of communication between Departments. (duly noted)
They are still trying to find their feet.
Yes Xalrock left 'some' notes, but if the Update isn't ready, then it can't be added. This was an Event to lead up to that Update.
I also know it has had some Server side fixes, as I have been trying to get it to work.
And as I asked in my previous Post, 'Please be patient with the new Team'.
It is still a GAME, not Life or Death. Go and play and enjoy shooting things and getting paid for it. You aren't going to lose an pixel power.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
The BDM| apologizes for the OORP in local this last fight. We thought the gunship bugged the cloaking device since he instantly disappeared without the effect. Hence everyone started spewing at each other in local.
That being said:
There were two people that had self administer errors, the points were not recorded as a result.

{DHC} is, unfortunately not part of the event, so you wouldnt get points anyway. They are no more valuable to the feds, and the imperial side, then you average freelancer merc.
I flew on the federalist side this time on a VHF. recorded most of the fight, missed like the first few minutes. But enjoy! I am trying to be a balance guy, have ships for both sides.
He had no health and rammed into me by accident whilst he was flying through our formation to get cover. Boom. Was completely unintentional and the SMR briefly contemplated killing me for it.
