Great Event !

Finally I feel like Han Solo, the fastest smuggler in the galaxy.
The added fun is trying to not even shoot once but shooting for passing the time as waiting own teammates to return our flag so the capture chimes in

It’s so much fun and especially good for cunning and sneaky play.

 

This event is horrible

 

Thats the greatest thing about it, an event where dealing dmg is secondary

 

Special kudos to one of my heroes Bittersteel who intercepted every enemy thief squadron and made it possible to deliver Daily Mail on time

 

Dobson...you are part of the developer team correct?

Flag carries are weighted too high. Speeders will naturally get to the flag faster and get more carries. You shouldn't be rewarded for carries that dont get capped.

 

Considering half my teammates don't understand that you have to capture a flag to win, I don't mind the extra incentive to have them actually try to ... wait for it ... capture the flag.

 

Had a great runs earlier today with @Keane_Shatter. Dual speeder fleet seems to work perfectly. Also tactics and teamwork have the biggest role in this event.

 

I love playing speeder + shooter, then you can focus on capture while your shooter defends. Coin distribution heavily favors the speeder tho. I might start handing off the flag to my shooters if they're close to the capture.

 

I’ll be honest when this event first started, I was not a fan of it, I actually thought it was horrible. Vented to my guild about it, and got some good feedback/advice from them. Now, I think this is by far the best event yet. Some games I try to capture, some games I defend, every game I’m having a blast! ....and it helps when you’re fleeting with @BITTERSTEEL

 

It is really important that the team splits 2/3 for capture and defend, but I've found teams don't really know how to split responsibilities... we need some commands for that.

It has been much more interesting than any other event, and it took a day or two for players to "get it" but when they did the matches became interesting. There is some really interesting strategies to be had with boat type, items, fleeting, by map, etc. A little better coin balancing would help for next time.

 

I think this is a very good event as the players get more creative. If we can get 50% more coins due to the length of battle would be great. I also created a thread about coins distribution after battle because this event is a team battle.

Good job dobson!

I was useless for my team at this level

 

Only speeders and enforcers would've liked ctf. Seriously the worst event ever for every other boat type. The bias against non yellows was astounding. Matches vs 4 or 5 yellows was common, usually with only one or none on my team. Was almost impossible to get any decent coins.

If you could get 10 coins without capturing yourself, then it'd be fine. The concept was fun, but constantly smashing the enemy flag carrier so your team can capture and only getting 5 coins really sucked.

 

I play speeder so I usually get more caps than my shooters and defenders. If they seem to be doing a good job defending, I just give them the flag lol.
