Well we all know that the day of the pos is coming to an end. so why not make it an ending that's worth remembering.

7 days before pos removal date: System wide alerts begin to go out galaxy wide, Huge Drifter fleets spotted entering all areas of space. Scout reports suggest they intend to attack.

24 hours before pos removal date: concord advise all tower owners to dismantel all towers or prepare to defend them.

D day (Drifter day) : Drifters attack all online towers.

all towers and arrays not in space are removed and isk returned, nobody loses anything if you want to play safe pants.

if you choose to keep the tower up and defend it to it's death you get increased rewards on all drifter ships destroyed during the defence of the tower.

rewards must be decent enough to give the defending corp/alliance a chance to make enough from rewards to more than cover the cost of the tower and array loses, set it at say 3 billion or around that.

when the 3 billon isk reward level is reached a drifter capital warps in and one shots the tower, not just sending it into reinforced but destroying it in one glorious explosion.

drifters attack all remaining forces for a further 10 mintues.

arrays are open season for to all grab as we know so this will even add a little bit more for those that like to be that guy Roll

event ends when all towers are gone. next down time remaining towers on stations/outposts and all arrays recovered are replaced with isk.

the POS has been a huge part of EVE game play over the years, let's give these babies a good send off.


well that's the idea,, fire away with ya comments, ideas to improve the idea, Cool

How about not making plans for an event 2 years away or so?
And certainly not in an isk farming way even if there is an event.

until you mentioned making a reward - I really liked the idea...... will there not be enough reward simply from drifter BS loot?

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

come on, that's more than a little silly, you put no thought into your response, bit like saying why plan for citadels this far out.
The 3 billion isk reward limit is to encourage people to take part in the event, cover what they invest kinda thing.

CCP haven't said how they will replace the assets perhaps 70% back in minerals if the items are in a station and 100% back in isk if you choose to defend it.

you didn't suggest anything in it's place as a reward for taking part in the event but don't you think there would need to be a reward of some sort?

never intended this idea to be an isk farming idea. it's a blow shite up idea that will take part within 24 hours.
a way of saying fairwell to them from a community stand point in a better way than just items deleted after the removal date falls.

And why, exactly, are the drifters targeting starbases? Are they offended by how phallic they appear?

If so, why do they not target all Thorax cruisers and Avatar titans?

I'm sure CCP could make it so the reward are more balanced vs the risk.
3 billion was just a number i threw out there. Roll

personally i couldn't care what the reward would be. but i feel there would need to be a reward of some sort for some to justify putting their tower at risk. if there is to be risk there should be reward.

The rewards can be worked out, I'm more interested in the removel of the towers becoming an event.

just to be clear for all Big smile

This idea is not about isk farming.

lol maybe they should on that day Blink

but why would they attack the towers? I'm sure the people working on the lore can come up with an excuse. Roll

i would just like to point out that the drifters HAVE already targeted towers before so its not that crazy.

I'm not really a fan of excuses. Explanations are fine, but excuses can burn in the deepest depths of the abyss.

The way the event will actually happen:
People unanchor everything and turn it into useful stuff except for things that CCP will promise to replace with still relevant stuff (if that will be the case).
The end.

you're probably right, but why not turn it into something more than log in after DT and find minerals or isk which i mentioned (your relevant stuff)

it's just an idea. it may or may not happen, it's a lot of work for CCP to just remove a few items in the game, much more easy for them to just remove and replace with stuff

but more events in game can't be a bad thing and why not tie it in with some drifter lore, i know not all would be bothered with this and for those people they can just unanchor and get their replacement stuff. but for those that would find interest in this then i would see it as a good thing.
