Guardian's Gala Rendezvous

5 Frigates, 5 Cruisers, 1 Battlecruiser
1 cargo container spawned (at least we can fight over the loot)

PSA: VERY IMPORTANT! Apparently you can still steal the container even when your safety is set to green (you get suspect status). Also, there is an unconfirmed report that you can also shoot other players while green resulting in immediate death by CONCORD.

At present only Guardian's Gala 'Spirit' SKINs drop - nothing else. If you plan to steal the container make sure you're PvP fit as players are pre-locking any competition. Also, there are a whack of players swarming to these sites, star gates and stations - so if you go suspect be prepared to get shot at. Here are a few general tips:

* Everything spawns within 10km (typically 2-6km for the frigate wave)
* Drones are too slow (everyone using drones lost out big time)
* Warp speed/Ascendancy implants make all the difference
* 1-2 scan-scripted sensor boosters are a must
* 1-2 stasis webs/grapplers are a must for the first frigate wave
* A tractor beam is a must so you can lock the container down and prevent it from being sniped
* Blasters, blasters, blasters. Dis I mention blasters?

The rarest (or at least most desirable) 'Spirit' SKINS are of course the Machariel and Nyx. 200-300m ISK currently.

One or two of the 'Spirit' SKINs are glitched and do not appear in the market (you have to sell on contract). Not sure if this is by design or an oversight (thinking the latter).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I've got all Gallente SKINs so far. I wonder which ones are going to be the rarest...

Only SKINs have dropped for me so far (about a half dozen). Some of the SKINs are glitched and not showing up in the market. A few players on Reddit have reported that viewing certain SKINs crashes the EVE client.

They should've blended these SKINs top to bottom instead of front to back (crimson red on top).

It's certainly one of the better renditions.

Actually quite a good joke, this event. Well played, CCP.

I made a half billion this morning on SKINs. Accelerators would've been nice though...
(apologies in-advance to anyone I sniped a site from - you were just too slow...)

There are many ways to make half a billion ISK each morning, not just being one of the first to sell new SKINs. After all the long discussions around the previous events, starting with the first Crimson Harvest, I seriously find this one (if CCP didn't keep something back for later) a good joke. Each playerbase gets the kind of event they deserve. In EVE's case: surprisingly unsurprising, blunt and dry. :D

Read the PSA that I updated the original post with. The first has been confirmed and I hope the second was an isolated incident.. Joke indeed...

Sure, and even by tonight it will be substantially less. I wanted a Krons SKIN and I ran them until I got lucky. The extra SKINs that I was able to sell were just icing. And after the patch fiasco this morning I'm surprised we even have an event...

Patches can go wrong - that's not the issue. But bad content is bad content is bad content is bad content. I don't understand why you even call this an event, mate.

Did you read the part about being able to steal and shoot players while green? I'm not suggesting that this 'event' (CCP's words) is great. Or that it's great content. It was fun switching to something other than missions for a while, though.

So still no accelerators? Arguably these were a lot more fun running this morning... I still get a kick out of seeing a half dozen players trying to pop 5 frigates...
