what if we want to support a faction that is neither of those four empires?

Why are we entrusting this to the Empire Navies? Historically they're known to be rather heavy handed in their actions and have proven to not be trusted.

Let players RnD this, at least you KNOW our intentions (to make isk)

Sounds really awesome, might just have to move back into a wormhole. Smile Loving the lore side of this event as, at least in my opinion the lore hasn't been progressing as well as it has done in the past.

You want people to be interested in it, you have to give us something of what it would be.

Is this a new shuttle. A tee shirt... A waste of time..

You made it faction specific, which is ridiculous for wormholers.

You give us an idea of what it is, we'll be interested.

Till then, thank you for the free Isk we'll make from the highsecers buying this garbage to play your game.

Tldr. Nobody knows nor cares for the event till they know what the possible prize is.

Yaay!!!!

I think something like this would help get people who don't go for the rewards interested and involved. Currently the plan seems to be this:

Current plan: Donate your personal wealth to get something for your faction some time before everyone else gets that something too. If you don't donate, you don't know what you get or what you're missing until it's too late to do anything about it anyway.

Alternate plan: Donate your personal wealth to get *sexy new stuff* for your faction months before everyone else gets their own different *sexy stuff*. If you don't donate, that other faction might get their *sexy stuff* and have a tangible advantage and bragging rights over your faction for months.

At its core it's the same plan, but with less random dice rolls involved in the decision making process and more tangible content to get more people excited and invested about. Teasing people to get them excited doesn't really work, if you don't have anything to show them.

So uhm, how many more side projects and stalling will you guys come up with before you actually start working on T3 rebalance. I realise I sound quite bitter and all that but it's getting a bit silly now.



Why do you think this is not part of that? one of the reasons they did not ship the invenetion and RE changes is because the T3 needs a rebalance. This could easily be part of that 'hey guys we changes the t3 stuff to the following, oh and btw the caladari won that event, so they get this new subsystem that enables X! great huh?' see? you would get a rebalance and new content all in one swoop

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

So they are asking for stuff , and not saying for what.

How is this any different than a Jita scam, or a ISk doubler?

Now I like lore, but if you are asking for billions upon billions, without saying what for....

It doesn't have to be exactly what, but an idea would help stow interest.

Yaay!!!!

It's obvious - Experimental Fatigue Reduction Capital Rig
BPC will drop in C2 anoms only. Needs one Sleeper Jump Drive Relict that drops exclusively in Drone Regions and has a volume of 400000 cubic meters and some other random stuff. Will reduce your jump fatigue by 3%.

If this fails to make (escorted) freighters jumping choke point gates in 0.0, the next expansion will bring a new allocation of Isotopes (drone regions again) and a slight 1500% increase of volume for topes and fuel blocks. At the end we will play this game exactly how CCP wants us to play. Or not at all ....

I am cringing at the thought of the names this new promised tech might have, given the renaming scheme in the Oceanus patch. Can we expect Elongated Missile launchers this time for the Caldari faction as a counter choice to the Ample ones? Ugh

Is it allowed for my character to fall in love with that pretty Wing Commander?
Even if not - I am sending her all the loot I am able to buy. And will farm some more.

If we win, can we remove the jump fatigue on jump bridges, or possibly enable us to jump to any jump bridge in range?

Creepy,

I am in the middle g writing a fanfic(n0ob) life. About how the sleeper corruption within the capsule pilots jump implants are causing issues with jumping capital ships and you added to my plot line! Now if it only my story comes out and is not a piece of waste.
