Pirates can interrupt our mining ops. camp our gates and just generally be annoying. All we can do back is blow them up! NPC space needs weekneses, they have massive number of ships, but i've never seen them mining! they have tech 2 modules on occasion, but i dont see any NPC controlled moons! With such a large role in the eve universe, it should not be surprising to see Pirate mining operations and control towers set up on moons, or even doing PI stuff. lets take the next step toward pirate awesomeness, and make them a real threat!

Actually, these "wastes" are some of the best meta and are what set EvE apart as a different, unique and worth playing game!



Edit:

Did I say how infinitely, poetically awesome is the blog picture?



glad you like the picture :) it's a CCP Arrow creation

Gentlemen,

As the Angel Incursions into Empire continues to unfold, I would like to take the time to encourage high sec miners everywhere to fight this injustice against our people in the best way we can. That way is of course mining. Get into your barges my friends and mine those precious rocks.

By mining as much ore as we can, we are keeping industry in the empires alive. Keeping ship building alive. Most importantly, keeping the fight alive.

Get out into the fields my brothers and keep those yields high.

When it comes to PvP, I am like a chiwawa hanging from a grizzley bears pair of wrinklies for dear life.

First one varies greatly depending on complexity of event and time held. Second is also pretty variable but the devs are always going to be massively outnumbered Big smile

Just what we need, events. Let me guess what will happen.

CCP Event Dev1> Lets go run an event.
CCP Event Dev2>Sure, What shall we do.
CCP Event Dev1>Lets blow something up
CCP Event Dev2>Wow, what a great idea, you are a genious, no one will guess we are going to blow **** up.
CCP Event Dev1>Thanks, we did some brainstorming, had a meeting and it just came to me, Lets blow something up.
CCP Event Dev1>We must not tell anyone in game about it, I want it to be a surprise.
CCP Event Dev2>Wise move, we wont tell a soul, well apart from Goons.
CCP Event Dev1>Of course, we have to tell our Corp, cos we need help with this.
CCP Event Dev2>So whats the plan?
CCP Event Dev1>We get a titan into empire and blow **** up.
CCP Event Dev1>Then the Goons come in and blow the mother f***** up. Loot the prize uber rare BPO and Goons save the day.
CCP Event Dev2>You think we will get away with it, should we not give another corp / alliance the chance to win?
CCP Event Dev1>We have never done that before, why change?
CCP Event Dev2>OK, lets roll. We need a rebrand. Pretend its all new rather than same old ****.
CCP Event Dev1>With all the staff working on Dust all we can offer is Same Old **** and more broken promises.
CCP Event Dev2>We been getting away with it for years. The events on Dust will be better, console players are dumber than Eve players.

CCP Event Dev1. Roll on Dust. Goodbye Eve.

Same old **** I fear. Waste of dev time.

Well you couldn't be more wrong :)
I really think a lot of you posting negative comments really need to read these:
http://community.eveonline.com/news/newsFromEve.asp?of=true&newsTitle=angel-cartel-conduct-oddelulf-attack
http://community.eveonline.com/news/newsFromEve.asp?of=true&newsTitle=angel-cartel-second-strike

We did another today and they have all been RP pirate faction events, not tied in any way to the dev caravan of last Winter or the goon events (I don't even know what these are to be honest) and they are not tied to Incursions either. So time to remove tinfoil hats and get some facts together about the events :)

I can not find any part of this post that is grounded in any part of reality. Other than the devs wanting to run an event, but that's a given.

I am very happy to see live events back again, EVE's setting is one of its biggest attractions to me so this sort of thing has been sorely missed!

My only comment is to encourage the team to keep on posting news reports and in IGS threads covering the events that are run, and to try to run events fairly often outside of what I assume to be Reykjavik office hours. Many players just won't get the opportunity to join in at that time of day.

I suggest getting Hilmar to cough up for some overtime, this stuff adds value to the game and provokes player generated content. ;)

I hope you devs don't get the idea that I was trying to troll the caldari event that happened a little while ago, today D: I came there was a member of Ushra'Khan, the Tribal Liberation Force, and a gallente/minmatar loyalist at heart, seeking to disrupt Caldari defense operations how ever I could.

This resulted in me tricking the caldari actor character into undocking from the station in his pod, so that I could give him a drake, which he had lost earlier in the action. I said I couldn't dock because I was GCC'd... he said thanks, undocked, and got podded.

Also, all my talk about taking that fedo to the vet and freeing the animals was not troll-talk, either :( Both Sebastien and myself IRL are vegans and all for animal rights! And shooting fedos is bad. Also, Caldari experimenting on animals is bad, and Sebastien supports the Guristas who were freeing them from their pens. But doesn't support so much the fact that they now have to eat those slaver hounds in order to survive in the wilderness :P

Any way, it was a fun event! All of them have been, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop. Please don't label me a troll :(

I am assuming that the crew will be rotating in and out of the events. with only a couple running the event at any one time.

I also assume
-> that these devs have other tasks they are working on,
->These events also is a means for the devs to interact with the players,
->There only a couple devs using automated tools to help them run these events
-> Not everyone will want to participate but those who do will have a deeper experience in eve because of it and spread the news of Eve's Awesomeness to the world.
-->Like Worm holes these events are optional you don't a have to do them if you don't want to.

Someday I will have the time to play. For now it is mining afk in High sec. In Cheap ships
