Have you actually seen the stats on an Eidolon? A couple of normal battleships would take it down pretty quick.

lol. try looking at the ingame stats. just get someone with a hacked fit to link it. it'd take forever to kill, even with a fleet of battleships.

last time i've seen Polaris info there was requirement Jove Frigate to fly it. So if you give this ship and skill to 1 person you can be sure noone around will be able to board it.

I think they started it when FW was introduced. The idea was to allow certain player volunteers to keep other players up to date on the real happenings of FW and write up reports and what not. That is as far as I remember.

Not sure why people are busting a nut over this. (Edit: Clearly these players would be highly monitored)

they gave this player organization a Polaris Observer along with an ID that could board and fly it.

Tiancity surely did not announce a recruitment of reporters from this organization into ISD:IC and the reporters have clarified themselves as freelance writers that has no association with Tiancity whatsoever.

So now the puzzling thing is that how could an ordinary player owned organization be granted a Polaris Observer and GM ID?

the intention to use this ship was to report ongoing wars between player factions in 0.0 sectors. Definitely something far from FW reporters since this Polaris could roam the 0.0 sectors at the free will of reporters from this player owned organization.

It isn't puzzling at all. They want money, players provide money, news advertises the game to potential players, I warped in lagged out and died does not make good advertisement, bad advertisements do not yield new players. So they gave the guy an observation ship.

Not much else can be done with a Polaris then observe so they gave it to the guy. The puzzle is why does anyone care.

Truth tbh.

imo they should give a Polaris frig to Riverini, since he's just a reporter and all. A major sh*t storm would not ensue since noone would care.
