We won't be disabling all high sec rules (mostly because there are a lot of rules we can't disable without risking breaking everything).

I'm guessing that means the sec status of the system won't be changed by that post - or else we'd be able to get caps in and log them off so after the event we end up with lots more like the veldnaught in amarr.


Which is a bit of a pity, since Caps jumping in to support either side WOULD be epic (but probably uncontrollable from a story/balance perspective). So long as the Caps could only jump into that system, and then at the end of the event, they can only jump out or "motor around" , it would be "good".

(perhaps "any cap left in system after X time will be moved to system Y"?)

I like where this is all going. Guess I better sign up with the state and do my bit for my people and the corporate overlords.

I'm still really confused on one thing: Will Amarr and Caldari milita members still be attacked by the faction police in the system? What about people who have low standings to the Federation?

I'd come but that's like Friday morning US West Coast, but then when is a live event ever happening at a reasonable time for US timezones.

Are you saying that losses in this system due to ~nonconsensual pvp~ are normally reimbursed by the GM team if the crybaby loss-ee petitions it?

More funny to ahrvest tears : All powerblock unite for one day and drop the biggest fleet of cap/super cap on grid to spidertank and keep the titan alive while everybody ***** and moan about it never going down.

Show up and find out?



So, I have about -6.6 standing with the Gallente. (terrible)

(Ion Kirst, you are not welcome here, if you don't leave immediately your ship will be destroyed.)


I've gotten a message something like that before when I've ventured into Gallente space. So, if I go to Luminaire, will I be able to participate, or will I get concorded by the police.

CCP: In regards to luminare event, can we expect Minmatar titan fleet in kor-azor region someday? In an attempt to try to release minmatar slaves?

The GM Team would like to make it known that due to events that will be occurring in the system of Luminaire over the weekend, ships or capsules destroyed between downtime on Friday, March 22nd (11:00 UTC on 22/03/2013), and Downtime on Saturday March 23rd (11:00 UTC on 23/03/2013) will not be eligible for reimbursement.

Players who do not wish to be at risk of in game loss due to ongoing hostilities in the Luminaire solar system should be sure to add this system to their autopilot avoidance list and ensure they stay well clear of Luminaire over the course of the weekend. Ship or capsule losses between downtime on Friday, March 22nd (11:00 UTC on 22/03/2013), and Downtime on Saturday March 23rd (11:00 UTC on 23/03/2013) will not be eligible for reimbursement due to the ongoing conflict between the Gallente Federation and the Caldari State.


I'd like to point out that this message says the following: "The GM Team would like to make it known that, because of the battle for Caldari Prime, all ships and capsules, anywhere , destroyed between downtime on Friday, March 22nd (11:00 UTC on 22/03/2013), and Downtime on Saturday March 23rd (11:00 UTC on 23/03/2013) will not be eligible for reimbursement."

Now, from what I've read, everybody else is reading this to mean "anybody who loses a ship or pod due to standard reimbursable reasons in the Luminaire system will not be reimbursed". But this is not what the message says (although it sort of implies this to be the case). Can I get a confirmation on that? If the "everybody, everywhere" rule applies, I won't be flying anything expensive this weekend :P.

Important note, the live events channel fleets will be passive aggressive.
We will most likely not engage first but those engaging one will face all.

Also attempting to turncoat is a one time affair and will result in various lolz depending on your positioning.
Followed promptly by OMGWTFPWNBBQ firepower.

Why is a HIGH SEC system being set to free for all, When the whole point of a 1.0 system is that it's supposed to be about as safe as it gets in empire space.

Why is something that is faction warfare based / the waste of time game dust based being forced down the throat of regular eve players who iether don't do faction warfare or don't give a rats ass about what happens in dust.

All this free fire zone as its being called does is force FW and the waste of space dust on to people who don't even want it.

And someone should not have to avoid a system just because FW is going on there if there not in FW. this is utter rubbish

This next bit just wreaks of DUST being foisted on people who don't want it
""Players who do not wish to be at risk of in game loss due to ongoing hostilities in the Luminaire solar system should be sure to add this system to their autopilot avoidance list and ensure they stay well clear of Luminaire over the course of the weekend.""

Btw why is it eve players pay for there accounts but these waste of space dust players get to invade our space game for free.

Having PL or some other player group would be great throw a twist in the story for sure.
