Also thanks, Guard!


Somer Blink does't support the community. They are a Third-Party for profit organisation that was created for the sole purpose of fattening their wallets. all they are is a gambling site. They do not support the community in any way shape or form, except by heping people blow their isk.

Isn't that Stratios that's been discussed on the last few pages just the same one that was the new prize after the Guardian Vexors etc were cancelled? If so, then why does anyone think CCP has 'unpaused' the declared pause in the rewards programme?

There are two types of EVE player:

those who believe there are two types of EVE player and those who do not.

This, yet CCP is blind to it either intentionally or through stupidity.

not to be rude, but you ISDs are irrelevant.

we're unable to get an answer to a worth while issue, do you really think you're relevant enough for ccp to investigate if we do have an issue with your moderation?

if you answered yes; stop kidding yourself.

For the time being we are pausing all plans for rare in-game rewards to select third party contributors. We want to carefully consider your feedback and determine what our framework should be and what improvements to the level of transparency are needed so that the rewards program serves its intended purpose of making the EVE Universe a better place. We’ll also make prizes and rewards a summit topic when the CSM visits us this winter, as well as consult with them until that time. Some of this work has already started, and the result will be a formalized and transparent framework for everything related to supporting all types of fansites and third-party community services. We aim to circulate our initial design to the CSM in the next few days, and you should see a dev blog in a few weeks.

That’s it for now, let us know your thoughts.


I take it CCP has unpaused the plans for rare in-game rewards to select third party contributors. The worst bit is the Stratios Emergency Responder should never have been given out to these parties. The Ishukone Watch Scorpions at least were re-skined with worst stats than any other scorpions. The Strat Emergency Reponder has nearly twice better stats. So I have a few questions here.

Why was the way to obtain these ships not revealed to the player base prior to them being put in game?
Why are select players being given ships that exceed the stats of the ship for which it is based off of?

I believe giving certain players stuff that is free and unique is fine but it must NOT be better than an item for which you can get in game by working at it. The emergency responder is better than the stratios and to be frank here that is a bit of an insult to the community. As I stated, if you wish to give somer blink or any other site rare-in game ships that are re-skinned that is fine with me; however, I have issue with the fact its stats are better. The stats on the Emergency Responder need to be adjusted to match those of the standard Stratios.

before it was deleted we discussed this; the more likely outcome is that somer were not one of the "select third party contributors" subject to the pause.

So CCP are already back on the "handing out special shinies to people they like" kick?

After months of desperately ignoring the outcry from the last time it happened, they do it right again

Which is sadder?

Coming here to complain about CCP's behaviour which annoys you?
Or coming here because you dont care to complain about people who do care?

Whilst I dont care enough to quit playing, it has annoyed me enough to rationalise and close some accounts.
This character is now sold, and its account closed.

Option 3

Thinking you know whats being talked about when you clearly dont, then commenting and saying "neener neener neener you can hurt me because I care so little I sold this toon" like anyone gives a stuff

Oh and suggesting that theres anything in spaceship pixels game that isnt sad anyway

Wasn't the Emergency Responder the version that CCP provided for the Somer EVE Vegas lottery to replace the unique ships they were about to make non-unique?

i.e. nothing new, we discussed this ages ago, as Ramona was trying to point out but the subtlety was too much for a few people

Dear CCP,

What is the new policy with respect to CCP giveaways?

In addition what is CCP's position with respect to the claims that Somer has received unfair favouritism?

I put these questions simply, and I think politely. I do not see why a reply would not be appropriate.
