I agree that it is a poorly planed event, not because its all the way out there, not because its in selfproclaimed SA dominion, no.
It is a poorly planed event as the first contact we get from jove are ships that the major corps will have a tough time taking out.
What chance would I have if I accidently ran into one?
Im in a mid cruiser with standard gear, I not only dont stand a chance odds are if they drop in on me they will vaporise me and whatever force I could muster.
And dont tell me the jovian ships coming through are battle ships... why would our first encounter be battleships?
why not let a few jove frigates be seen in areas, the admiral or whatever he was is a renegade, there are jovian ships after him isnt there, they need to scout out where this renegade is holed up.
Let a few weeks pass by with small scirmishes where jove frigates scout out the 0.0 sectors, no need to bring in BS's untill way later.
Its the clasical old save the world syndrome, everything has to be so damn big.
After a few frigates have been downed then let some cruisers scry the systems where they loose smaller ships not untill a number of cruisers have been lost should BS come in.
That said, I have no idea wether the ships are BS's cruisers or even industrials, as far as I know the devs may have taken out a jove cruiser and picked a fight for the fun of it.
I just hope it starts small where we the small players can get in on the fun.
Lastly, no way I go into SA on some vague explanation the GM's wanted for others to be in on it, if they wanted that then there is plenty of empty space for the jove to hide out in, they want me in the event then place it in neutral space. I doubt I would go to an organized mass event like this anyways as best case cenareo, I come back with my ship intact and not too badly bruised. My odds of gaining one of the fabled BP's... 0%
Its SA area, so I bet they will demand the loot. I know they will not say, "Oh you got that container, good on ya, move along."
Sorry CCP, this is not an event for me.
