Events like this are extremely difficult to balance. The amount of participants on either side is unknown, as well as the ships they bring. Unless you organize the event in a way that people need to register to take part, it's a lot of guessing.
Honestly if they wanted to limit caps they should have limited them all across the board, it doesnt take a genius to see how the instead chosen method would backfire considering the number of factions against the alien side without any reason to compete among each other
It was a nice event. Unbalanced yes, but it's always hard to do these things.
In any case, thanks for organizing! Was fun fighting alongside factions i'm usually supposed to pew.

at the same time, I think it would be best if heavier ships were allowed for the alien side
Probably would have been better the heaviest ships weren't available to anyone, as battleships are generally unenjoyable to fight in bulk at the moment, and also cause a disproportionate amount of lag compared to other classes.
Once again, I have outlined a leaderboard based on currently available information. Please list all characters you played under when claiming a forum title or a spot on the leaderboard. Note: event ships are excluded from the leaderboard.
(in order to avoid insane amounts of ties, I've decided to restrict the leaderboard to those getting at least two kills).
Three out of four frigates were taken down:
RGS-Lethe died to BDM|Ins.Franz,Mueller, Cazadora[TBH], and BDM|Grimm.
RGS-Styx died to A/)-Optio.3, A/)-Optio.2, and A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith
RGS-Acheron died to A/)-ACV-Cepheus, Cazadora[TBH], and DTR-CNS>Cimitarra
The bustard CV-Tinsdal was destroyed by the combined efforts of DTR-CC>Heraklion, A/)-ACV-Cepheus, DTR-CNS>El_Chapitoo (and many more).
All the above mentioned characters have received the bounty amounts mentioned in the original post.
Finally, I hope everyone enjoyed the event - as usual, I welcome feedback here or in PMs. I have a good sense of what to adjust for the next event of the same type, but more feedback is always welcome.
