On behalf of a friend I am posting his request for CCP's response toward a recently incident in Serenity Server.

His letter follows below:

Dear CCP
Rumors have claimed that with the help and authorization of CCP, Tiancity the agent of Serenity server have issued a GM ship Polaris to a player ID called FM8052记者. The owner of this ID works for a player owned online radio station FM8052 which reports events in Serenity on their online channel. Recently the radio station reporters have encountered difficulties in reporting the ongoing war in Serenity due to malicious aggression from the warring factions. In order to safely broadcast the ongoing war, they have asked Tiancity for help and this is how the authorization of a GM ship in Serenity came to be.

Though many restrictions have been put upon this ID and the ship, I still have some doubts that needs clarifying.

1. Did CCP really authorize the ship and know the whole picture that it will be in the hands of an individual player and the ship could go anywhere it wants with total immunity from any kind of aggression? (NOT A GM!! ALSO NOT A ISD:IC MEMBER!!)
2. Is it really necessary and acceptable to authorize such a privileged ship to an ordinary player on his request just to report 'news'?
3. What kind of precautions have CCP and Tiancity deployed to prevent this player and ID, if unfortunate, breaking the integrity of Serenity and EVE-Online?

The Players in Serenity love this game and this incident concerns us greatly. We hope to hear from CCP and explain the situation as soon as possible.

Yours Sincerely
EVE Player in Serenity Server

If you think it's unfair then apply to ISD. (ಠ_ృ) ~ It Takes a Million Years to Become Diamonds So Lets Just Burn Like Coal Until the Sky's Black ~ (ಠ_ృ)

Apperently the reporter was dumb enough to get caught and podded in a covops and asked for official help. The funny thing is that they did actually issue the Polaris Observer with a brand new ID for it. I know that ISD:IC members take part in embedded news reporting on Factional Warfare among the 4 empires but this is something totally different. I doubt that CCP mistook PVP faction wars for Faction Warfare of the 4 empires since they are literally the same words in Chinese.

Similar to the ISD on Tranq. The same is probably done on Serenity but have different requirements/restrictions/name.

Huh...

Tiancity claims that they have had help and authorization from CCP to issue the ship. My friend suggests that CCP might have not seen the whole picture. the Polaris Observer issued is owned by a player organization and could literally strode the whole eve universe with out any restriction.
Imagine a invulnerable ship doing recon daily at your doorsteps.
Gives me goosebumps

The player own organization clarfies itself as having nothing to do with Tiancity the Serenity Server agent. Yet Tiancity issues a Polaris Observer to this organization without any early notice and claims that they have had authorization for CCP. This is what my friend is skeptical about.
