There were specific criteria for picking those numbers, we just don't know what they were.


I imagine all were slight stretch goals over the average of something like the past 3 or 6 months.
So no one is shooting crosses or each other as much right now...shrug.

Just means Gecko's will stay a little more rare, at least until CCP fills in the rest of the BPO that shows up in-game right now, and players start making them.

There are Gecko BPOs?

What's a Gecko?

Is that like Gordon Gecko?

I wonder what the value of all the raw materials that made up the mining goal was.

The birthday gift drones you received on may 6th.

Super-heavy Guristas drones basically, 50 MBit bandwidth requirement each, but better damage than 2 T2 Ogres (and Omni-damage, rather than 2 types max) with better top speed and more health.

Everyone received 3 of them (they're in your item claim menu on login), and the event mentioned was to unlock more of them.
We managed to unlock 4 extra drones, we'll see when we get them.

I have no idea why people wouldn't be shooting red crosses as much, but I can certainly tell you it's true we're not shooting each other as much. That'll change pretty soon. It always does.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

I don't like this kind of game. I don't know why, nothing bad happened, no one was hurt. I guess i just don't like it when people manipulate information to suit their agenda.

DPS still drops from a pair of Gecko's on an RS now without even factoring in the other 25mb drone band it currently has to play with.

Looks like only 20 days to redeem these Geckos, so get them out of the redeem system people..

There's are tons of items in game that are limited edition and have a BPO that "exists". There is no way to get any of these BPO's and they likely exist simply for thoroughness when creating them. The existence of a BPO is in no way indication of there ever being a method to acquire one, nor should anyone make such assumptions.

Indeed, that just leaves every other ship that might use one out in the cold. and cancels out a nice chunk of the gain from a Kronos max DPS RS compared to now.

The only downside of the 5th launcher is you are limited to one DLA

The Rattler is changing from a so-so sentry based sniper unable to compete with the Domi, to an "in your face brawler" with silly paper DPS (but application issues at range) overnight.

At it's intended range (as it appears to me) I don't think it will actually be missing that 2nd DLA. Still, how glorious would it have been with the launcher AND the Pre Kronos Gecko DPS with post Kronos RS bonuses. Alas we can only dream.
