This was so completely fun. I'm a carebear, but i would absolutely do this again.

If you say for sure that we get to do this again next month, then I'll start staging ships slashers and rifters here just for the event.

I've been told you guys arrived 30 minutes before the end, with only 50 combatants in local. Managed to gank a few frigates, kill Legionnaire's Typhoon Fleet then got chased off so not sure how much of an impact you guys really had on the event, but hey more kills!

Your low fleet number might have been due to TEST sponsoring the event in part. Blink

It won't be next month at the very least as I don't want to run it too often due to the amount of logistics involved and it might lose the "magic" due to too much repetition.

Good to see you enjoyed it though! Any specific feedback you have on how things could have been improved, what you thought of the organization of ship hand outs etc.?

This event was all kinds of fun and I would be very pleased if it became a regular thing, maybe less often than monthly though.

By the way, I was a bunch of kiting Executioners and a fail-Slicer at 22:00 before I had to leave. GF to anyone who killed me or I killed!

Overall, it was a blast. It's something out of the ordinary from my normal PvP activties. Never have I got in so many engagements in one day before, and personally, I prefer frig PvP anyway. Big smile

However, I would have liked it better if it was in null sec or a lower securtiy status system. I ended up going from 0 to -3.1 in security status. I can see the problem with null sec with bubbles and people trying to crash the party, but it can be a drain to rat all that back up.

Also, it seemed pretty chaotic at times. The first belt was just flooded with wrecks and ships making it hard to tell what was going on. It would be nice to give some incentive for people to spread out or just make the fighting more orderly, but to some extent, it was pretty cool watching all the action happen there. I guess that is the point of a free for all.

Thanks for hosting. It was an amazing fight, and I look forward to another event in the future.

This was a blast. Me and a corpie moved about 10 frigs each to Jov for this. Stayed for the full event and got about 60 kills between the both of us. :)

There were 130-150 people in local for the whole event and we even earned some Tidi a few times. There were literally hundreds of small fights and a few huge murderdomes (Brawl at Top Belt; Never Forget!!).

Thanks Tuskers for putting this on! The prizes and battleships were awesome(I got a PLEX and a camo skirt ooh-la-la). The Tusker handing out 3 free frigs to anyone who asked was awesome, it let us stick around longer than we would otherwise. I didn't even change the names, my "Suleiman Shouaa's Rifter" was put to great use. :)

I wasn't on for that long, but for the time I was it was really great. Thanks Sulei for organizing such a great event and the other 130 people or so that came.

I think I died 4 times within 10 minutes of that epic top belt brawl; it was pretty crazy.

Much Gratitude to I Legionnaire for his generosity and encouragement of the EVE community to engage in more PvP and to the Tuskers for organizing a fine event!

After my first experience in one of the death fests in a belt where my ship lasted about 30 seconds I hung out at the planets and found plenty of action going on there. Actually had a couple uninterupted 1v1's even.

Day before the event I joined the Tuskers public chat and had a number of my noob questions answered patiently as well as an offer to help get some ships into the system. I was impressed by the helpfulness of all on the Tuskers FFA Event channel before and during the fun. The updates on the Hevrice gate activity were helpful too.

My only suggestion for improvement would be more notice. Not sure if I missed something but I only saw the news item on login screen the day before.

A great time and I would encourage any other PvP noobs to give it a go next time around!

Thank you Tuskers!

If you have a tip on a nullsec system that's as accessible as our current area, has stations close enough that people can stage from them and is quiet enough that people trying to haul ships in can do so reasonably safely, send the directors a note and I'm sure they'll keep it in mind for our next event. (I don't mean that as a brush-off, btw, just that those are all significant factors when it comes to picking where to host something like this, especially when it's static rather than roaming.) Speaking for myself, I can hardly claim to be worried about my sec status, but it would be nice not to have to wonder whether my frig will die to station guns before I can warp off the undock...

In the meantime, keep in mind that in lowsec you don't lose sec status for aggressing a pilot that's "flashy red", whether due to having a global criminal flag or being an outlaw (below -5.0 sec status). You don't have to hold back from shooting people that aren't flashy, you just have to hold back from shooting them first. Blink

Next time we do it, the patch will have kicked in in and as long as you don't shoot pods you wont go flashy so you can blast as many ships as you like and still be able to get back into high.

Thanks for a blast last night. Though I was utterly useless and blew up all my frigates it was a lot of fun and arguably one of the best ways to get into an MMO.
I look forward to taking part in future events where my couple day old char might be able to hold his own out a little more :P

Maybe yesterday we could get an idea how Eve could be if it would be like it should be- like this. :)
An area filled with people looking for fights, not running away from it. No falcons. And i learned a lot about frig fighting.

Downside- i brought only 3 frigs so the show was over for me too fast.

Many thanks to everybody involved!
