Live Events Discussion

An idea for some small scale events:

Following the general lack of positive reaction from the Empire pilots after the last event I had the mental image of capsuleers still shaky in their new bodies slamming into their agent offices and demanding to know what the hell happened. More importantly they would also be asking (somewhat more quietly and menacingly) who the fleet officers were that let them down.

The events:

These would be small scale fleet actions based around the ghost site mechanic. The capsuleer would be delivered a sealed message by 'a friend' detailing a time and location at which the officers deemed most at fault would be on a border patrol. The site would be deadspace and a hidden timer would be set (much longer than the usual ghost site timer of course) after which re-inforcements would arrive.

The agents of course would turn a blind eye (since it is they who are providing the leads)

Rationale: Some agents feel let down by their superiors. They have worked very closely with their capsuleer contacts for quite some time and have a loyalty to them too. In fact many would probably be questioning their place in the empires and looking more longingly at the clone vats across the corridor...

These would be limited engagements providing fleet combat. I think it would add some flavour to the current mission for a limited time, would fit with the lore of the empires losing control and capsuleers taking more.it could also be good fun to allow low-sec located fleets to be able to locate and lock on to the distress cyno dropped by the officer after a certain time. A mix of hi-sec/empire/low/null sec fleets engaging in deadspace could be a lot of fun...

heh, I'm not trying to justify or go over the last event anymore, just come up with some mission ideas that could get something fun out of it.

This idea would only really be missions that are randomly available for say a month. Perhaps there could be some limited live event(s) at the end of that month where those with officer tags (dropped from the destroyed officer ship). They could of course bring a fleet. Then the live events target fleets could be commanded by the CCP driven NPC officers who were present at the event :D Could be fun for us and them i think.
