I know I’m not the one You would ask but…
- Haven’t noticed any “crisis” around. No unusual amount of drifters, not player ships killed by “new” NPC on gates…
- Checked few sites. Fleet content, not for solo players. Hard pass from me. Wasn’t interested to find group to participate.
- New “drifter technology”? As a player who will be Alpha for observable future I won’t have an access to it, surely. And even If I had - there’s so many ships, weapons and modules in the game already. I really do not see anything I’d personally wanted to have.
Overall, I think the End of the Event doesn’t make “Cheers rang out across New Eden…”. It’s rather sad day for the Event farmers 
Especially if the content was good and rewards rewarding.
