Must be a slow day in the office.

With all the crap that needs fixing, you'd think they had enough to keep them busy.

yeah, it's pretty ****** that they would do something fun for the player base, particularly since it's been so long since they had any patches or expansions with bug fixes/changes/improvements.

good luck, I hope things work out for you :(

cc.sup.lye.avan.

everyone seems to assume the last section is 1 word with 2 dots.

I think there are 2 words here....

CCP / SUPPLY / E* / AVANT

AVANT - Possible Christmas reference (just noticed my spellchecker changed word without my knowledge to ADVENT)

was so....close....

oh well. back to guessing.

CCP Supply Caravan?

This must be the event that results in the seeding of the BPOs for the new... wait... I've said too much...


Caravan Event hosted by CCP, indeed. Not sure about BPO's, but by my information, there will be a caravan event.
How do I know? Well, here I was sitting in a station spinning my ship for the 47th revolution when I opened the map on a whim.

Now, I had the filter still on Stations in systems during my visit to nullsec, and being in Caldari space, the map was centered near the CCP region. I mouse over RU-97T system. I click on the info for Magic Land, then open up the CCP Corporation info. Just browsing around, I click on the attributes tab and notice the CEO and Founder CCP Hellmar. What do I do here? For some reason I immediately thought of beer. But that passed in a near instant when I clicked on the info button and here I see something interesting. Up at the top, CCP Hellmar's title is: one, Caravan Event. Hmm, Caravan Event? Could this mean he's effectively signed himself up via title to be a part of some sort of Caravan Event to let others in the CCP Corporation know that he's signed up? Perhaps. Let's check other CCP'ers!

So that's what I did. Next I checked CCP Abraxas. Caravan Event. Hmm. I think I see a pattern here. Let's check more to confirm!
4P's, Abathur, Abracadabra, (skipping a few here), CCP Arkanon. Ok, that's all the CCP names that start with A that show up. Because I'm lazy, I decide to search for more CCP names: CCP Phantom, (Caravan Event), CCP Dropbear (Caravan Event), CCP Punkturis (Caravan Event).
I do believe there is going to be some sort of "Caravan Event".

“cc.sup.lye.avan.”
ccp supply (supplier?) caravan
(there's an e in here for some reason I can't figure out. Isn't supplyer, for that'd be misspelled and just silly.)

TL;DR - Somehow found myself looking at CCP Hellmar's info screen, saw Caravan Event in title. Confirmed Caravan Event is also title for many other CCP'ers. Caravans of freighters, industrials, newbie ships, all carrying many, many (enter preferred unit of measurement here) of alcohol, perhaps? Or something else interesting? Oh, maybe freighters protected by CCP ships that we gotta fight through to get to the crunchy goodness that is within possible CCP freighters!

CCP / SUPPLY / ETA / VAN / .

The fullstop at the end marks the end of the message. I doubt it is a letter or number to be decoded. It is what it is, a fullstop.
No time has been set yet, but it's possible that the Fleet will arrive in VAN (sec 0.3) which is in Anama and a part of Genesis.
There is a long jump from Solitude via Aguallores (sec 0.1) which jumps to Shirshocin (sec 0.3)
There are then two short jumps, Zayi (sec 0.3) and last stop Van.

CCP - Do I get a prize? Pity we do not yet have a time. Big smile

I think its the caravan idea, but we have to wait anyhow. We need those scientist to discover more, like when and where, might be locations in that message but it would be useless without a date right now. Anyhow have to wait for more to be released or so.

Was thinking the e could be location. cc= ccp, supp with the ly = supply then extra e and avan = caravan. Though dont know what the one e for location would be.

Final obvservation, that message said something is suppose to have something happen this weekend maybe so there is the time we need. Also said could be for attention and since the last caravan of ccp went so well with us, mabye CCP is just trying to get more attention with what they did then do it again. Now think the e is for supply when you sound it out and not location.

Last time they did this we had time and waht they are doing but no location or end place, and this time we have time this weekend and what they are doing maybe the ccp supply caravan but no location yet. kind of mimics the past.

This might be a bit of a leap, but could this have anything with the "Christmas Star" seen a couple of yearrs ago when we saw an incredibly bright light in the heavens and still could not explain it?

Was that from the same general direction?



They sent an expedition but then that bug was fixed and the expedition was never heard from again.
Probably eaten by Giant Space Whales, which is the one thing this game really misses Blink

As long as the missing whales are accompanied by a bowl of petunias i'm good.

"cc.sup.lye.avan."

Taking the idea that it starts with "CCP Supply ETA (van.)"

Then could it be that the next V is a roman numeral for the number FIVE rather then the letter V?

If so, then: "CCP Supply ETA [5] an."

the last part could either be a system, (Ana, Ane, Ani)

OR

AN could be short for AN-G54, a system in the Outer Ring, which we all know is owned and controlled by ORE.

Just a thought.

I highly doubt CCP would give us the destination or at least so much in advance, would ruin the fun of it too much. Propably best to not read into it that much.
