Default cool experience in PlanetSide

I'd like to share a little event that was very subtile but really left an impression on me.

I was playing my NC character as CE ("SpareBolt") and I was finally out of the que for Cyssor, driving my ams away from the warp when I arrived at some bridge.
I was about to cross it when I noticed friendly traffic coming towards me, so I backed up to make space...
Then I noticed it was not just one tank, it was one tank and 6 amphibius ground transports, driving in formation.
Being a reservist player myself I know how disorganized the common player is, so this was quite new to me, I decided to follow the tank and deploy when we arrived at the target, wherever this was.

I deployed the ams just outside the base where they arrived and headed in behind them. They where already inside by the time I got there and I saw there was no movement on the map, they were inside, but not moving.
I went in and finally arrived in one of those big rooms inside the base.
Nobody moved, everybody had taken a devensive position, aimed at all the doors they lead inwards.
The base was hacked and everybody stood still, no talking, no jumping, just completly still.

After asking one person, I found out they were all one outfit called 'fightclub'. They remained motionless until the first Terran took a look what was going on. They held that area until finally the rest of NC arrived.
It was cool to see such a disciplined operation being carried out.

That was my Off Topic story, thank you.
