Live Events Discussion

all i got was that ishukone got through

and aid wasn't all they were carrying to the planet

Is there more news on it? All I got was a message it is pinned in a constellation, then a short time later it got through. Was it dev or players, etc?

Doing this stuff via mobile so is tough to check maps, but if I am correct in reading the tweet, they went through a low sec constellation correct?

Well, the tweet says it was the Uusasai constellation. I misread the system in dotan on my phone here. It is a highsec constellation it looks like. My bad. If it was highsec, then how did it end up under capsuleer threat? That is what confused me.

If the starting point is Malkalen, then Ishukone may be the ones who would have brought the aid package. While Heth says that Ishukone was negotiating with the Federation, they may have just secured a way to provide aid to Caldari Prime after the fighting was over. They docked at a Federation station just to be on the safe side, since Ishukone is still a Caldari corporation and wanted to show that they meant no harm to anyone in the Luminaire system and on Caldari Prime. Not all of the Federation knows that Mens Repola has nothing against the Gallente and worked with Jacus Roden (and Mordu) to acquire a prototype templar.

Well, in expansion to that, how did goons or whomever it was know to be camping? I thought live event announcements were supposed to be on twitter? I saw nothing. Facebook? Nope, nothing there from eve.

So was it in live events channel or locals? I understand if it was live events. I was not able to get on eve at the time.

The point of this particular post is not against prepping for a gank. People can prep up fast. Just a clone jump and move to follow. Freighters are slow. I have read there were player escorts.

But there are posts about how they will use so and so channels to link news updates, etc. Which I admit, I check regularily. If a "convoy is leaving in 30 minutes" I will take a break from working on the bike in the garage and log in early. Every time they do another event, it seems like it is less about story and more about just gank and free kills in highsec. If that is what the live events team wants, then just leave the fic alone and roam with failfit cockroaches in low and null.

yeah, catching a live event can be a pain

really? i caught some if this discussion from the live events channel, but what few live events i'd been in previously were highly inclusive

The event started in the Live Events channel, then moved to a rp-only channel "Command Comms" (though the actors frequently spoke in local anyway).

The convoy consisted of 4 Rhea-class jump freighters that departed from the damaged Ishukone station in Malkalen, and slowly made its way to Kamio, while escorted by both a Fleet Coordination Commission [FCORD] and a 4th District [4TH] fleets (each numbering about 40-50 capsuleers).

The freighters docked in the local Sukuuvestaa station, while conferring with both their leadership, and the capsuleer fleets, who were in contact with eachother and a Federation Navy operative in Luminaire. It had become apparent that a Goonswarm fleet was waiting in Uedama to ambush the convoy, so the capsuleer fleets feverishly tried to find an alternate route before the Ishukone freighter captains turned back home. In the end, a few FCORD capsuleers made their way to Seyllin and cleared it of interference so one of them could light a cyno beacon on the Metserel gate for the freighters to jump to.

The freighter captains were most hesitant to let the cyno ship into their fleet, as it wasn't a Caldari they trusted. But, they went with it, and soon found themselves in Metserel, only 3 jumps (Du Annes, Pettinck, Luminaire) from their destination. The rest of the capsuleer fleets only just made it back to Luminaire by the time the freighters arrived in-system. The Federation operative thanked all participants, stating that he would make it home to dinner with his husband after all, and Goonswarm went home grumpily without any Ishukone relief convoy freighter kills. Finally, CCP Falcon thanked everyone in the Live Events channel.

Thus ends my interpretation of what I think I saw happening ;-)

It's not "people", stop defending CCP. It's a game, they should put on Live Events to entertain the PLAYERS, and further enhance the game story. Excluding people because they don't want complications is a total fail. You shouldn't need a "chance" to participate. I'm so pissed at how apparently chicken**it the supposed RP'ers/Devs are. Why put on a defense force if you're not going to defend? The Platinum Members decided to x up for a scaredy cat force. I got about 8 random guys in a fleet (some of them I see have commented already) and we were looking for information to help in the defense and get some pvp going, but the scaredy cat force was doing what they do best, avoiding conflict. I even commend the Goons, who were having fun and enhancing the game story also. I was very much looking forward to getting into it with some Goons while defending the freighters. Next time I recommend taking the path you're supposed to take with the biggest defense fleet you can mass with EVERYONE who wants to participate. Make everyone in systems along your route suspect when you enter every each system as a Concord security matter. Gate camp? Too bad, defense fleet - defend. I'm starting to see why everyone complains around here, I mean what a waste of our time that was.

But hey, at least the freighters made it safely and 40 Platinum Members got to pretend they were important for a half hour! It's not like this is an internet spaceships game famous for blowing people up or anything.
