Proposal - Have some dev time allocated to repairing Live Events team tools

Back when the Events Team put on the Incursions Events they had some tools that allowed a single actor to control many npc ships.

This allowed a smaller team to put on much larger events and gave them the ability to follow-the-primary pretty much like player pvp fleets. (have a look for some screen shots of 50 Nightmares shooting one poor players shiney ship)

Apparently these tools have "broke" see here [url] https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3889909#post3889909 [/url]

This meant that upto 40 devs were involved in the last live event (herding cats anyone?).

I'd like to ask the CSM to see if they can get some dev time to fixing these please.

If no effort gets put into live events, they will continue to have issues. A bit of devtime love behind the scenes would definitely help scale up the events better, and make non-EUTZ events more plausible.
