What I learned from Interceptor CTF

• 2000 coins to get the bonus box was too much. I estimate it was 5 hours per day of continuous play to get that.
• Once one grinded for 10,000 Ship Pieces to buy the Interceptor it became quickly apparent that was a tiny fraction of overall the Ship Pieces required to level it up... I've seen estimates of 170k+... which is 3000+ hours of grinding . It's new nickname is The Grinderceptor.
• 2 Speeders vs no Speeders is as good of a guarantee of a win as anything in Battle Bay
• Napalm and constant explosions makes it rough to play on older devices that can't keep up with the stacked graphics
• Carronade is amazing in this event. I had no idea how much they slow down ships and turrets, which is important in CTF.
• RIP Blue items. 50 Ship levels with nothing more than HP to gain feels like shields should be built into boat levels. All that's left after that is Turbo and Bandage. Build Turbo into ship levels and make Bandage a Yellow. That, or add more Blue items. The current situation causes an unchangeable meta across all boats.
• Using lower level ships or items didn't impact matchmaking. In fact as a 3k player, never been in NML, every one of my event matches had 4-6 NML players all with 1000+ higher Gear Score. If this is how it's going to be, I'll start lobbying to remove Gear Score matchmaking in favor of Infamy matchmaking in all events going forward.
• That being said I did fairly well.. but only because I acquired my second T5E weapon during the event. Ranked matches now seem tame. I'm afraid what will happen when I add 3 more T5E weapons to my load out.
