Well... I have some sugestions....

Try using Jove/ Soct ships in the events it would give an "omg! different ships!!" kind of fun.

Consider the Event a Incursion, in the system they are running. Show in the incursion menu as an event incursion, (but without all the weird effects... well maybe some...

Please read these!

Different for the sake of different isn't something we'd want to do. There would need to be a reason for those ships to appear that was organic to the storyline.

The Incursion GUI is something that we're looking into reappropriating for certain events, but haven't really delved to deeply into yet.

I like this idea. I also like the idea of more dynamic incursions (none sansha related)

For instance it would be expected that pirate factions would eventually grow annoyed at repeated capsuleer interfence in their operations (high number of mission runners killing their ships in a specific constellation or system) that they would decide to act by either invading a neighboring constellation, sparking a short term incursion style warning. A side effect of this would be surrounding constellations would find difficulties get missions involving that particular faction.


I realise a lot of this would involve massive work involved in changes to the game. However a simplified version, of a Dev spawned/controlled pirate faction fleet showing up to seige a mission station, with a call out for all local capsuleers to come to the rescue would also work.

I agree, the Jove and SoCT have an unique and mysterious feel to them, just using them because of that would quickly diminish those qualities.

That being said I'm somewhat surprised we haven't seen or heard anything from the Jove after the opening and discovery of w-space. As we've learned the Sleepers and the Jove share a bit of a heavy history so I half expected them to get involved a bit more in all that has been happening in relation to it. The Sleepers may still hold the key to curing their disease once and for all, still wondering what might happen if they hold a reunion of sorts. Granted with their tech the Jove could be flying their ships right in front of ours as we zip through w-space without ever noticing.


As for live events in general. I'm very curious to see what you folks all have in store for us. And with some of small teasers we've been getting I get the feeling it's going to be an awesome ride.

In this dark void we are like brilliant stars, holding within us both the creative and destructive power to bring a new dawn upon worlds or plunge them into eternal darkness.

So my question is, how hard is it to get a 'Scope' or 'ACN' voulenteer actor on the scene filming the events?

No need to voice it out (though the players comms could voulenteer the reporter in) Keep involved fleet com window open if desired and just hang out with the fleet involved.

If spice is desired, an intro video (ie breaking news or this day in history clip) then a news banner on the bottom.

I don't know but overall I have to agree that many live events go unnoticed. I mean somone told me new caldari was under blockaid the day tibus heath got shot. I'd never even knew the blockaid happen, and that the textual news story was far more prevailant.

As for being aware of live events ahead of time... via mail links, chat channel and groups I don't exactly am that enthastic for them. It sort of ruins the surprise for me you know?

Last event I was in was years ago but some guy in a iteron was dealing with a kidnapped daughter by a business man and we had to track the guy down a bit. That event also never hit textual news.


Before every live event, there are actors in various channels in game. There's also updates sent out to the @EVE_LiveEvents twitter feed before each event, giving clues as to where things are going down.

There's a lot of information regarding events on the Live Events forum section. Please feel free to check it out. In the same respect, please feel free to evemail me if you've got any concerns of questions Smile
