EVE General Discussion

about the other very limited ships in eve (not talking about the ishukone scorp) but the gaurdian vexors, the silver magnates, the gold magnates, the imperial geddon and apocalypse. the raven state issue, federation megathron, and the tribal tempest and revenant, there was little. or just NO argue about it. so why would it be with this stratios emergency responder.


i guess it has to do with you new generation of eve players. unknowing about somer blink. unknowing about those other rare items. so now they see somer gives a chanche to get a special and very rare issue (only 3 ships) of the stratios. they see it to late. they dont play somer. and they go full mad they didnt get anything, or a got chanche. but if u read the damn forum posts that came with eve vegas. then u should have known somer was giving these ships. then u HAD the chanche to participate and win. but since most of you find lotteries bad. you dont participate. or some of you dumbbears dont even read the forum post. and then you find out later. and get jealy. and go full mad. and that somer gives it away. i understand ccp chose this 3d party. its the most used. and also trusted 3d party. i would love to hear your reactions if they gave evealopalous the ship to give away.

i have a feeling this new generation wants everything for nothing. giving nothing. doing noting, and reading nothing. and that this generation of eve players clearly dont know, or WANT to know. that UNIQUE items are a UNIQUE part of eve.

and i dont realy understand you have to be so angry about wich 3rd parties do it. cuz do you realy expect CCP would use YOU for giving the ship away ?

Tasty!

you know this is a weak argument of nothing dont you ?

+25 drone bandwidth

want.

basically takes this ship from 'pretty good' to 'really ******* good'

Since ccp had to stop somers rmt they had to find another way to support their favorite scammers

Indeed.

CCP originally was going to reissue 3 Gold Magnates (since none exist anymore).

However, people complained that re-issuing the ship would cause the non-existent ships value to drop.

Soooo, CCP said okay, no Gold Magnates. However since people have already invested in this lottery we will create another unique and collectable ship to be given away... which we now see before us today.

There will be 3 of them in game, ever, and you'll never have one. So just relax.

link pls

I recall you could sign up to get one for free but the more money you gave to blink the better chance you had to win.



CCP changed the event prizes to be a Stratios Emergency Responder for all 5 winners (instead of gold magnate or guardian vexor), with the top two winners getting an option to receive an all-expense paid trip to fanfest 2014 instead of their SER.

Pretty sure everyone with an active account would be interested, but CCP decided that randomly selecting active accounts and deduplicating using IP addresses or other payment methods was too hard, or not be fun enough, or not have enough community involvement, and instead gave the rewards to Somer to distribute, in effect meaning that despite the freebie ticket, the highest chance to win would go to whomever played the most Blink, all assuming of course that the winners were chosen as stated (a big IF to a lot of skeptics).

In b4 the lock.
