The clock is ticking, Sentient, and the fleet is en route. I am truly sorry if you expected results immediately after the announcement but part of the event is in the build up.

Have no fear, the fleet will arrive as promised Big smile

So what is this all about? Well we want you guys to have fun. Many times we have seen requests from players for more live events which are not centered around the Sansha incursions. We are taking this opportunity to bring a fleet for you to fight, or assist if you so desire. Yeah right!




I think that what at least some of us were asking for was events that actually have some impact on the Eve story rather than a bunch of devs wandering around shooting stuff.

Our Operations team have reinforced several different nodes for us so that we can decide where is the best venue to bring it. We are not going anywhere to drop loot to what anyone else percieves as our 'freinds'. We have no friends for this event and our guns will prove that.

Now you can quote me on that, I promise Cool


ill wait for time to prove it if you dont mind, in the mean while I need to get back to work.

With 500mil isk for a plex I have to come up with a bil a month just to be able to keep playing. Also the new fuel system threatens to crush the income I have used so far to finance game time, so it will be even harder to come up with the bil...

Great stuff! What a great way to add new and dynamic content to the game whilst at the same time engaging with the player base. CCP are doing a lot of things right just recently, long let it continue!

Buy your subscription with real world "ISK"...I know it is a strange concept, but if you earn less in real life working the same hours as you need for a PLEX then it sucks to be you.

Complaining that "you need to do mine/rat to keep playing, to keep mining/ratting to keep playing a nauseum" sound like a ******** idea tbh, but hey I might be ******** for not understanding your mindset. Roll

Billion ISK say's it turns out to be a mining fleet of Hulks and Orcas.

CCP have struck a deal to sell Veldspar to Chribba, I just noes it!

We guarantee, TEST will make it worth your time and give you a battle that will be worth it. Oh yeah, you can also save Chribba's home, since the masses have ran and cowered.

I actually do enjoy doing what I do in game, to me it is a fringe benefit that it is enough to finance my game time.

The EVE storyline has not been forgotten and story events work is ongoing. I can assure you of that.

I'm sure you'll also understand that story events require a deeper level of planning and perhaps consider that events of the kind this thread deals with help in developing wider experience with the mechanics of events within CCP.

What you're not telling us is that it's a fleet of Hulks to attack the Asteroid Belts of High Sec in true Carebear love.

We really need a video and a battle report for people that don't have access to fleets and comms and ops and just plain 'ol can't participate in something like this. Video and battle report please. Lol

i see it playing out like this


CCP devs jump in to system

randoms see it and say something in the intel channel

goons bridge in and bubble up /camp all the gates to pop all the randoms coming in for a few hours

goons shoot ccp ships get shinys

event over



All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.
