The game has to be stopped in an ever more interesting phase. Unfortunately, witp is unflexible and additional aigroups led to the collaps of the pilot system. Both sides lost about 20-30% of the pilots in the airgroups without any reason (other than the witp-code). As we couldn't guarantee it won't happen again, the game was stopped.
