Shuttle Events Shows Again the need to takedown the Faction Wall in PvE Queues

I was able to get on in about a minute with my Fed/Fed-Allied Rommy during this weekend's Shuttle event

My KDF toon was sitting and sitting for over five or six minutes (and that was the second try).

See the difference in queuing

The waits are too long for KDF queues and that is what spoils the events for KDF players.

    The problem is, you are highlighting the Fleet Alerts. They have always been faction specific and would not work as cross faction queues. The other PvE queues are cross faction.

    They could easily be made non-faction specific at level 50 without a lot of issues.

    TBH I think there needs to be a Starbase 24 version for KDF as it's one of the more useful queue's Fed side while leveling. Gorn Minefield has too many breaks in it when you can have a quick shoot in SB24.

    SB24 is actually in the wrong spot. It should be in the Pi Canis block. I think it should have been a war zone instead of a fleet op. Also, the Fleet Alerts are not, nor intended to be, level gated.

    For some reason, I pictured KDF-aligned Talaxians flying Na'Far...and I died a little on the inside.

    You used to be able to go into it whenever you wanted to mid mission or not.

    Last night I noticed that the queue for KDF fleet defense (shuttle) had about 10 people in it.

    After reading multiple threads here about how not enough KDF are doing that queue, I decided to just deal with the inevitable loadout mishap that would arise from using a shuttle, gear my little fighter up, and signed up for the queue.

    Then it popped and the game client crashed as the map was loading. So I went and played EVE.

    No point to this story.
