There were no tridents during this mission. Though I did start somewhere in the middle of the mission. I think it was Serco 100 / Itani 60 or so. So its entirely possible that they had moved far out of range, however, they didn't even register on sector list.

Again, no tridents at the small skirmish at M1. I joined close to the end. Serco 16 / Itani 55.

Also same radar issue as discussed in previous threads, with the exception that this time the only ship viewable was serco.

Edit: Upon returning to the sector, all 6 ships showed on my radar. 5 serco and 1 itani. Once the itani ship died, no other itani ships that jumped in would show on my radar, and neither did new serco ships.

Also, 6-8 ships showing on the sector list seems extremely low for a small skirmish even without the tridents.

I see no point in creating a new topic for this.

Small skirmishes appear to still be broken. I joined the one for b12 and was excited to see an Itani trident present. However, once destroyed, no tridents ever re spawned for the mission.

Also, once the trident was gone, the sector became a bot gank fest with a strong serco advantage. When I started, the score was 157 Itani to 97 sercoor something like that. By the time 2 serco players joined it was around 67 Itani to 57 serco. I don't think my 2 kills made much of an impact. In fact, it became un fun, because there would typically be 5 serco bots to 1 or 2 itani so most of my kills got stolen. I ended up in an atlas harvesting weapons.
