Dropships. Heroes -& Villains this time. 17 & 18th
Judicator Hirotoma: i knew we could net 60 GJ all
Amazing event, 60 was just absurd though also, considering the turnout and excellent coordination, inevitable. Going to come back and edit in some screenshots nabbed over both nights later.

Skyway
Don't know her but she just happened to fly behind me right in time to block the shot:
You're in the way!

This was good for a laugh: when the first call went out for Skyway, nearly the entire raid crammed into a single monorail car
All aboard!

This is about as far into the zone as the first wave got.

Had a blast taking down dropships the last two nights, using DH in Sharkhead and then Skjor in Skyway, Talos, and Atlas. Thanks to all the team leaders and organizers who made it all happen.
And a special thanks to my teammates throughout the evening Saturday: Infatum, Princess Lee, Jinni Kindle, Homonid, 3 Mile Isle, Neon Apocalypse, Moe Metal, Corinda, Frozen Blayze, Xanthica, Ice-Cream Headache, Source Current, Psintorallikaro, MX-2000, and American Sun. It was a pleasure working with you all.
Here's a few screenshots of Skjor and everyone else in action over Skyway and Talos.

I'm just tickled I was able to get in on the last of it before the end of the night! The Angry Angels rock! Next year, we'll get it again!
What's this? Looks like I managed to take down a dropship all by my lonesome!
((Are you kidding? Silver Streak taking down a dropship would be like Glass Joe KO'ing Donkey Kong! ))
All that actually happened there was people were moving so fast to get to the next one, while I hung behind for a few seconds. I was trying to find out if you took damage for being in the middle of that explosion - the answer to that is no, in case anyone else didn't know. Personally, I think it'd be cool if it were an extreme self-destruct - an auto-kill within a rather large AoE. It'd be a lot of fun to see a dozen or so heroes drop outta the sky, and to hear the cries of, "Oh no!! I'm too close!!"
In any case, I'm sure this is what those aliens INSIDE the dropships were feeling like!

It was great fun and I'll go through and see if I have any nice screenshots (Pretty sure I do)!
I just wanted to come here quickly and thank everyone for stirring up a different kind of fun for the night/weekend! (And to see the official tally)
60!!
Great job!
More importantly... immeasurable fun!
Thank you all!

Way to go, Virtue!
This was an amazing amount of fun, and certainly felt epic coming together to take down those dropships. To top it all off, we managed to beat our record from last year.
Those Rikti had better think twice before they invade our city again!
The call sounds: To Skyway!
Heroes assemble to attack a Talos dropship's thrusters!
The Talos dropship responds by beaming Rikti crew to the earth.
A dropship attacks in Atlas Park!
But heroes open fire in defense of their comrades..
And they don't let up!

1. <jawdrop> Seeing how many posted gorgeous screenshots, I can't see anyone else saying, "Invasion sucks because of lag." That's some damn beautiful lag.

2. -This- was the best. I did freeze for a moment when I stared at the mass of bodies using the tram. Skyway was the first call so Ouros was not the best option, the SG base portal was there but I thought public transportation would be more adventurous.. My "little blue hand" must have passed a dozen behinds before I could get a firm handle on the door.
3. All the personalities, known and discovered, that evening and the evening before made it perma grin-worthy. You just can't beat the charm of Virtue residents.
4. Someone asked when we're doing this next. I personally like once a year for any given event. Keeps it special. Right now, all I want to plan for is double XP weekend, i16, and GR. And the Holidays. And dinner.
Thank you all for setting aside a slice of your summer weekend to join us. I'll see you all soon for the 2XP teams. <3

I didn't get any pictures of the dropships going down, sadly, but I did get a screenie of the globe party after!
Relaxation after a furious battle!

I'm the oblivious set of wings dancing in the wrong direction far left. Didn't know the last of the remaining sqaudron was all faced a different direction. Next time, someone should really pop me on the side of my head so I at least turn a little. =p
That's a great costume. The girl in the hot pink, black, and white.. centered and flying. Looks like one of Kegan's signature uniforms.

I see a Paladin! =)

Edit: On second thought. Maybe I wasn't dancing.. Maybe.. I was praising you all -while standing- for maximum praise coverage... Yeah, that's it. =P
I'm the girl floating off to the right next to the guy with the Nemesis staff. The one in the platforms. Yay for trippy Psi blasters with cool names!
Nothing beats a good pair of bootie stompin' platforms!
I see the American Sun! Front and Center, and Hot as always!
(Hint: He's the one on fire.......)

*snerk* Hey, don't complain. I got mapserved at the afterglow, and didn't make it back on in time to be in the picture.
