Live Events Discussion

From April 13 to 19, players will have the opportunity to participate in the Caldari Navy Manhunt.

If you've been following the recent game world news, you'll know that the remains of the Provists, the fanatic secret police of deposed Caldari dictator Tibus Heth, participated in an attack on the Caldari Navy and stole several capital ships, including a Wyvern. In response, the Caldari Navy has placed huge PLEX bounties on the leaders of the heist.

Each day over the course of the week, players will have the opportunity to hunt down the Provists and kill them to claim parts of the bounties. The events will be held in both low-sec and high-sec systems in Caldari space. There will be multiple ways to claim the bounties, so even if you can only bring a frigate to the event, you'll still get a shot at earning a reward.

Bounty Breakdown:

Kossen Jaikka – 80 PLEX Total

• Top Damage – 15 PLEX
• Final Blow (ship) – 15 PLEX
• Final Blow (pod) – 15 PLEX
• Corpse – 10 PLEX
• Top Damage (Battleship) – 10 PLEX
• Top Damage (Battlecruiser) – 5 PLEX
• Top Damage (Cruiser) – 5 PLEX
• Top Damage (Destroyer) – 3 PLEX
• Top Damage (Frigate) – 2 PLEX

All Other Capital Pilots – 40 PLEX Each

• Top Damage – 7 PLEX
• Final Blow (ship) – 7 PLEX
• Final Blow (pod) – 7 PLEX
• Corpse – 5 PLEX
• Top Damage (Battleship) – 5 PLEX
• Top Damage (Battlecruiser) – 3 PLEX
• Top Damage (Cruiser) – 3 PLEX
• Top Damage (Destroyer) – 2 PLEX
• Top Damage (Frigate) – 1 PLEX

Cumulative Rewards – 20 PLEX

• Top Damage – 10 PLEX
• On Most Killmails – 10 PLEX

The top damage (ship class) rewards are not cumulative with the top overall damage. Whoever comes in second with the same ship class as the top overall damage dealer will take home the class reward. In order to claim the corpse reward, players must contract the corpse to Hikemi Korrado at no cost (we will check to make sure the corpse is the correct one).

If there are any comments or questions, please feel free to post in this thread

So its any ship in those classes?

FUN!

The lowsec events should be interesting to see people go at each other to reduce competition

I approve, about time something happens regarding Live Events, also the idea of rewarding PLEX is a good one I think though some of those rewards do seem a little to high but that's just my view

Still..kudos on more live events woop woop

860 Plex total rewards?

seems a lot, even though it's going to be spread out over quite a few people

Hmm, raising the rewards for participating is an interesting step. I'm thinking that participation levels for this will be through the roof.
I hope server nodes will be reinforced ahead of time!

Perhaps a good next step is an ingame way for players to locate people with such a bounty, so the events can have an effect 24/7 until all rewards are claimed. People who know the location ahead of time have a considerable advantage, worth playing an elaborate spying operation for...

Assuming the caps die tho, right

will they shoot back though?

so are they soloable in a pvp buffer tank battleship?

Where do they come from? Are they spawned out of thin air or were these PLEXes purchased by someone?

This question is probably not related to event directly, but with state of PLEX market recently, I felt compelled to ask.
