Basically
-event started
-we were diverted to a nebula
-pirates attacked scientia
-we were ordered to stop the pirates
-we attacked attacked a pirate who "stole the prototype"
-we destroyed the the pirate which turned out to be a decoy and most of the people went on to attack each other
-a few attemped to down Willy
-pirate ended up getting reinforcements slowing the few that remained to chase down Willy
-Willy ends up getting away with heavy pirate casualties

afther that
- There was a Neutral K'Luth dread called "K'Luth test subject" that needed to be escorted to Scientia.
People jumped in and fired at it, a stray PCM from Slinki killed it.
The pirates had escaped with the device, the blueprints or even both.
With Scientia's Population almost whiped out. the laberatoriums database whiped and the lab it self almost destroyed.
The research that was so hoped for, was lost. the data still avalable would help with the re-research of the technology but it would take a couple of years to recover.
with UGTO and ICC both physically and politically batteling it out in the Epsilion system, and even the K'Luth taking a beating. The pirates are strengtening there power.
A picture of the event.
and a other.

Well, too bad I missed it because of technical problems. Hopefully there will be another event soon.
Really disappointed,

This is very disappointing. I miss this while at work, thinking I am gonna read about the new game dynamic with the new technology and I come to this.
The thing I THOUGHT it would be was: Server-controlled beacon firing, making it easier to tag cloaking vessels while preventing beacon spamming and substanial lag. I thought the server would detect I have beacons on THIS arc, so when it can be nearly certain of a hit, it would fire one of my beacons. It would not fire at ships already beaconed, it would stop blind-firing for ships that are already cloaked. THIS seemed a nice developement to look forward to.
Whether this is how the event was intended to unfold or it was ruined by lack of cooperation by the players attending the event, it seems like little more than one of the times Mir are spawned in the MV. Definately a good time for the players online at the time, but hardly worth a week-long build up.

Imo this event wasnt changed due to player actions.
Well we already knew that pirates would be intested. Soon after the announcement of the scientia event there was a roll play in the mv. Multiple "Pirates" were discussing about the discovery with an ICC representative and a Scientia Represantative. Once the discussion ended the UGTO representative entered. This indicates that kluth would not be the focus in this event due to the lack of interest. So it was a clue that pirates were the focus of the vent.
The event was also well planned. Because scientia was specificly given no inf so it could be turned over to the pirates faction. Also the the so called demonstration at the nebula served to keep all factions ocupied untill the pirates jumped. Not only this people were specifictally told to turn off all engines, which kept players from being able to move full speed early on (which inhibited their ability to combat the pirates).
Shortly after the event, shig mentioned that it was unexpected that the experiment left the "cage". Which indicates that the experiment shouldnt have been the focus.
So players probably didnt change the outcome of it. But this was a pretty well organized event with wonderful roleplaying by the staff. I have to give a two thumbs up for this event.

With equal numbers as the pirates it wasnt possible, had the entire ugto/icc task force come. We could have destroyed Willy.
