This would be me explaining the boarding group process to my family:
All troop carriers will assemble at the north entrance. The heavy transport ships will leave as soon as they're loaded. Only two fighter escorts per ship. The energy shield can only be opened for a short time, so you'll have to stay very close to your transports.
The ion cannon will fire several shots to make sure any enemy ships will be out of your flight path. When you've gotten past the energy shield, proceed directly to the rendezvous point. Understood? Good luck.
It was crazy, but I learned today that it doesn’t matter how early you get there on EMH days. You just need to hide between ticket booths and jump in a line when it changes from EMH to regular. We got here at like 6:40 and lined up in the 2 lines they had reserved for regular entrance. Then my wife went to scope out other lines and found one that changed over. We were in at like 7:35. Now I’m parked outside Black Tap with 22 ping.
Is it just me, or is this lasting an awfully long time in backups for a Saturday on a 3 day weekend? Playing from home and got a backup notification at 8:01, but backups are still available at 8:08 and counting...
The unfortunate thing about backups lasting while the entrance lines are so long is that it DOES mean the entrance procedure inequality is coming into play.
I suspect that also played into some people even getting into the park by rope drop.
