While it was a bit of a total mess, at least you guys threw us FW guys a bone. Unfortunately, neither side (Gallente or Caldari) was ready to take the bone and run with it, so it turned to a bunch of complaining and so forth.

I'd suggest to the event planners that they not give up on the idea of a live event such as this one, just because a first go at it wasn't well oiled. I think the biggest problem is you kinda caught us off guard with no warning and many of us were doing other stuff, so there wasn't a lot of time to get people active & ready in such a short time.

I'd like to make a few constructive suggestions.

Location was a bit problematic for the Caldari side. Abune is next door to Heydieles which is Gallente's home system for the bulk of their active pilots. This means in the event that Caldari had formed up a gang in time, it would have put us at a pretty heavy disadvantage, with Gal's being able to reship 1 jump away.

Granted Abune is likely one of the most active systems on our war front and we often fight head to head in that system, we do so with intel and a bit of pre-planning on fleet comps.

Caldari Militia, is a bit more spread out across the map, but in low sec the bulk of us live in either Enaluri or Rakapas. This is not a whine but rather feel it might be beneficial to the event planers to under stand the layout of our battlefront.

My suggestion would be to somehow give us some sort of advanced warning a short time before the event and to perhaps have them take place in a more neutral location that doesn't give one side or the other a clear advantage. I understand this has potential to also alert outside groups, but TBH that's gonna happen anyway being FW is filled with alts from everywhere.

Location wise, systems around Agoze, Vey or the ever so popular Intaki would be a nice middle of the road fighting ground. The area is already a hot bed for the guys doing the plexing and it's also pretty close to dead center between Heydieles & Enaluri.

On the Minmatar vs Amarr front likely Azard or Ezzara would be decent location unless you just wanted to toss it in the middle of the blob-lands and have a massive gank fest in Kourmonen.

Overall, I just wanted to say thanks for throwing us a bone it's just too bad we weren't able to take advantage of it. Was just odd timing for most of the regulars on the Caldari side, which didn't give us a lot of time to mount a attack. Perhaps next time it will go a bit smoother.


edit.. also while I have your attention.. Please fix the damn Pod not warping bug.
