The first mission on Waterson was take control of Esamir. It was actually a lot of fun and I earned a ton of experience.

Had some pretty good fights and they seemed rather concentrated instead of spread out all over the cont like usual.

Our last one was like this and we thankfully all picked the concentrated battles.

Does the bonus at the end for participating increases the more time you spend there?
Some bloke was claiming he had up to 80%.
I'll have to find more than 30mins to play to find out for sure, or read the main forums.

And the bloody instant action can still take you to a different continent than what you are on.

Latest Alert on Briggs started at 8:40pm AEDT
Ended at 8:48pm with a Vanu victory.

.....they held 11% of Indar

The trick to winning these "games" is to Gal up your entire faction and hack all the empty outposts that have 1-2 capture points, and ignore bases altogether.

You gain most ground with least amount of time spent.

That's if you start planning to win these contests....

On the other hand, it does make people go to the respective continents so you could in essence make a fight of it if you so wished and didnt mind coming 2nd or 3rd as you still get a lot of XP.

Not a bad addition, but there are so many ways to just exploit the win.

Exactly my thoughts. The only bright side I could see is that if the opposing faction is gal ghosting, it can be relativity easy to either ESF up and try to hunt down their mode of transportation, sending them back to the WG to grab another gal.
That or try to pick the hexes to attack that remove the most amount of links from them.
The VS (*ahem*) pushed our WG and took our link whilst we were prepping Sungary. We lost about 20 min because of it.

It has potential but it seems designed to promote ghost hacking. (and 'blue shelling' the dominant faction)

No idea, I didn't see what kind of xp we got from the alert.

It was fun, Esamir got red fast, even with all that NC zerg rolling out!

After that, capturing Indar mission sounded easy, but It wasn´t, I had to leave 1 hour before the mission ended, but we had 40% of the territory when I leaved, my outfit members told the exp was split across the % of control to each faction.

10.000 is a great sum of EXP, but I thinked we was going to get easier missions, not a continent control mission!

Also, most TR went to Amerish waiting for the capture Amerish mission, that never pop out.
