The Somer Blink incidents was in an entirely different league of outrageous. As can be seen by the apparent lack of protests from the community.

Just adding my dissent about those ships.

My silver magnates are almost 12 years old.

After this tournament, the above statement is meaningless.

I love that there's events like this, but if you could stop ruining your legacy and history, that'd be swell.

In WoW, Blizzard has never, ever re-released past event/arena mounts.
I wanted an Armored Netherdrake and a Black Qiraji Battle Tank. Season 2 Arena reward and AQ gate opening event reward respectively. I'm perfectly fine with not having either because of their history and would most certainly complain if Blizzard ever decided to hand those out again, regardless of the circumstances. Those mounts are permanently tied to those events in history.

Same with the magnates (and the other unique ships really). Reusing them greatly diminishes their historic value. (and monetary value but that's not that important)

You have an awesome new ship designing system, how about you start using instead of regurgitating old content. <_<
There's a billion awesome things you can do with it (like respective imperial house-flavored skins etc), but you chose to reuse historically significant ships from the dawn of EVE? ohgodwhy /o\

:cry:

I will ask it again. Do the Schengen border zone members still require a passport when we are able to travel to iceland without?

If older players and players like Chribba and Entity are concerned, I think you need to rethink your argument. And this is the exact same thing as the Somer Incident, reusing a ship that is no longer in Eve, a ship that is part of a rich history.
Instead of reusing old, non existant ships, just reskin another. Problem solved. Which, strangely enough was also the answer the last time this happened...

So the current and former owners of the remaining Silvers and older players are extremely upset about this decision.

CCP said that they wouldn't re-release them. Part of the lore why I bought mine. That lore will be gone, on a whim, because as CCP said "under normal circumstances Amarr empire can last 500 years" This one lasted 12. It seems CCP has been trying to re-release them for a few years. First that Lotto, now this lazy storyline.

The history of the only Gold Magnate to be killed in combat will be gone. No one will care to look up that anymore.

CCP has not only reduced the value of this collector item by a couple billion, but hundreds of billions.

I don't expect CCP to do anything, as this now puts on the table the re-release of all unique ship hulls. What's next?
Federate Issue Megathron? Imperial Issue Apocalypse? Tribal Issue Tempest? Opux Luxury Yacht?

I'd much prefer CCP use new hulls for events. Creates new History and lore without damaging the old. (ssrly, the Tormentor could use some love!)

Baring changing the hull for this tournament, at least acknowledging the current owners of these ships by enhancing the stats of the older ones or at the VERY least some descriptor in the ship name or description. So people know which Amarr championship the ship was apart of.

Enhancing the stats of the remaining Silver's to be slightly better than the new ones would be the best to so that the old owners don't lose so much value in their ships.

You will need a passport, regardless of where you're from for identification purposes.

While you might not need it for travel through the Schengen Zone, we'll need official documentation to verify your identity and book flights in your name should you win.

With regards to ship skill requirements: You are not required to fly every Amarr ship on every character, but it will be advantageous to have as wide a selection as possible. Of course, having the ability to fly all Amarr ships may be looked upon favorably by heirs when it comes to selection, but it's no replacement for how well you can control them.

Additionally, with regards to command ships: there will be no round where anyone on your team must fly one (there will always be other ships available as well at that time) and at most, the rules for a round will permit a maximum of two pilots to be flying command ships.

I have a european union ID it must be enough. That can identificate every european. And i think most EU people dont have a passport just EU ID card.

This will make most europeans not apply when they could travel to iceland.

Two quick questions:

1. When exactly is the first match? I need to know as a deadline for having everything trained up.

2. Will the ability to fly T3s be required?

Can a captain withdraw his application after he has been chosen by an heir ?
