Is the event going to be on PartyTime, REDALERT, or some other channel?
As stated in his OP it'll be in OrganizedPVP

Burstorion makes an excellent point, to which I would add this: I'm not sure if I achieved it yet or not but I have discovered that it is better, more effective and quite fun, to be an excellent captain, in a medicore ship, than to be a mediocre captain in an excellent ship. Surviving pvp in a medicore ship takes skill, not equipment. Anyone can buy equipment, just go to the exchange or the C-store, but only experience can grant skill. Whereas pvp is always unpredictable, due to the human element, it is therefore the best place to gain experience. I actually got fairly good at transfering power to shields, hitting evasive maneuvers, dropping mines and plasma and using auxillary power to structual integrity (I don't use those confusing acronyms when posting) activating appropriate batteries and other bridge officer skills and trying to survive as long as possible so my teammates could attack as unmolested as possible until I was destroyed (which often wasn't all that long) and when I wasn't being pounded, I tried to increase my weapon power and add it where it would do the most good (sometimes just destroying mines or pesky fighter clearing or finishing something off) Sometimes just continuing to fire on a klingon ship can prevent some types ( I learned which ones) from cloaking, if nothing else. Have fun. That's the object of the excercise.
One word of warning: If you captain a Galaxy ship, prepare to be pounded on regularly for being "squishy" looking.One of my ultimate goals is to get a (reputed to be) "squishy" yet servicable Tier 5 ship and equip it with all the best consoles and gadgets to try and make it tough and reasonably damage producing; so I can see the message: "so-and-so was destroyed by "me", in the zone/combat chat window more often than the other way around, and to be in the top half of the heal/damage tally at the end of the scenario. I'll consider myself a good captain if I can keep my Galaxy "afloat" until my teammates can come to my rescue and I can significantly contribute to team damage output as well. Not neccesarily just a tank or an escort, more a generalist "man for all seasons" captain

If only people could actually make it into the game.
2 hours trying to patch it. Still not reached 60%.

Not going to make the event and it seems unlikely I'll make today's free giveaway claim either because right now this does not look like it's going to patch before I have to sleep. (as some of us do work in the morning). :mad:
I ended up missing it because discovered the wonder that is Team Fortress 2. However, I probably wouldn't have gone, anyway, because PvP is horribly unbalanced.
I agree with Voporak, was fun! AND got the ker'rat daily .
LOL I forgot there was a daily. That indeed was fun. Brought my Defiant in, got roflstomped by some PVP Klingons, came back with my Sovvy....realized why I hated my Sovvy (turns like a 18 wheeler with 18 flat tires) and then jumped back to my Defiant. All in all....loads of fun And I saw Bran pummel massive Borg
