Hello, capsuleers!
March 22, 2013, was a monumental day for all of us, especially those in Live Events, the Gallente and Caldari Militias, and those of us in Luminaire. The Battle of Caldari Prime/Luminaire VII has left all of us with very fond memories (or outrage and anger, depending on how you look at things).
Long story short, for the sake of Live Events, or in-game gatherings, I'm hosting another in-game gathering!
Battle of Caldari Prime Anniversary Gathering Details Luminaire VII, above the planet itself, where the battle took place March 22, 2014 (Saturday) EVE Time: 1700 (12:00 noon for USA EST)
Officially, I'd like this to be "a gathering of all veterans and friends of the Battle of Caldari Prime to come together to share stories and memories, and to celebrate the lives of those who served, and those lives lost."
After discussing the details with colleagues and those in Live Events, and realizing what game mechanics would allow us to execute, I've got the following ideas for activities during the event:
*speeches delivered by participants, and possibly actors
*"Missing Man" formations of ships to honor the departed (4 aircraft align in formation...one pulls up and breaks away and a specific moment: Youtube example)
*music played via livestreams and/or online radio services; such as NewEdenRadio or EVE-Radio or other volunteers
*roleplayers; embracing the event and taking it whenever it may go
*flyovers of Gallente and Caldari ships across Luminaire VII (simply crossing the planet in a large group)
*fireworks...lots of fireworks (easy enough)
Changes may be made based on the responses I get here and in Live Events. I encourage everyone interested to chat with me in the Live Events channel.
Note: Since Faction Warfare rules will be enabled, Caldari militia will not be able to enter Luminaire. However, perhaps a concurrent event can be held in, say, New Caldari? Recommendations: -bring back the Jukebox! -enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters) -add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot) -less focus on graphics, more on mechanics |

I've spoken to DJ Daggaroth and DJ Tranze at New Eden Radio; they are both on board with attending the event and playing music for it at www.newedenradio.com!
NER was a huge help during the snowball fight!
Also, CCP Falcon tells me that it is a "possibility" that he might drop by! (no word on the Battle of caldari Prime medals yet, though...but I imagine they're being worked on or on the backburner since we've seen so many new awesome developments so far!).

Anyone who is interested in being part of the flyovers and Missing Man Formation is encouraged to contact me!
For flyovers, bring anything you like!
For the Missing Man Formation, bring frigates (preferrably Empire frigates of the Empires; i.e., Incursus, Heron, but not pirate frigates from Sansha's Nation or Blood Raiders).

Drawing of the winner of the chimera will occur during the closing ceremonies of the event. For more information please contact myself or Commander A9 |

I confirm; thank you Daggaroth!
Also, I wanted to thank you for passing this intel to the ISDs! I eagerly await their inquiry.
Also, it's been suggested that I host a lightshow or two. I could, sure; no idea on prizes though. Perhaps a PLEX or two.
Only problem is I'm being really frugal this month...took a bad loss just before Valentine's Day weekend, so, saving money where I can.

I'll be there as well! Commander A9 event's always have been enjoyable.
Also published an article about this event, highlighting why both Gallente & Caldari can celebrate, and even why they can do it together (IC perspective):
Preparations for the first year anniversary of the Battle for Caldari Prime
The short gist of it: because of the historic agreement after the Battle for Caldari Prime, making Caldari Prime a DMZ, meaning that the Gallente recognize the planet is Caldari, but also that in exchange of this recognition, the State wouldn't deploy any military assets there, assuring the security of the Gallente in Luminaire. -áPreparations for the first year anniversary of the Battle for Caldari Prime Shrouded in mystery, the Jovian race |

An excellent write-up as always!
And a good perspective on the flypasts!
Hope to see you all there!
Note: Anyone who participates as a member of the Missing Man Formation gets an Empire Faction Frigate of his/her choice after the formation is complete!
Frigates: Comet Hookbill Firetail Slicer
The Missing Man formation is very simplistic; I already established start and end points for it. Simply align to said points when the music sequence in question begins ("Taps"), and I will handle the pull-up to create the missing point in the formation. The rest of the formation will pass over the Highlander beacon. Just maintain speed and position; simple as that!
There is no maximum limit on pilots! Recommendations: -enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters) -add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot) -less focus on graphics, more on mechanics Tune in to NewEdenRadio.com for awesome music! |

Well I have to say this was one heck of an event. Haven't been this close to a real rocking party since.. going to a real rocking party.
Special thanks to Commander A9, DJ Plymoth45 and DJ Daggaroth. For those in the formations it was an honor to fly with such good pilots and congratulations to Morwen Lagann for winning the Chimera. I would also like to thank Diana Kim for helping bring Federation NPCs into the fleet.

I want to personally thank everyone who donated, who attended, who flew the Missing Man Formation with me, and especially New Eden Radio, for everything!
This event was a colossal success!
Congratulations to all of the winners of the lightshow prizes, to Morwen for winning DJ Daggaroth's carrier (you lucky [censored]!), and to everyone who helped me set this up, network, and share ideas!
For the Missing Man attendants, I will be in touch to get your Empire Faction Frigates to you!
A special thanks to Diana Kim for showing up and getting into the action; I commend you, especially considering that Caldari Militia get engaged on-sight in Luminaire! Very brave of you!
New Eden Radio really kicked ass on this event! The playing of Taps was well done, although when "Bad World" was played, I found myself singing along...and I cried at my keyboard (not that that's a bad thing, given the circumstances).
That aside, I'm really pleased that people had so much fun, even with the flypasts. It's not everyday that people enjoy a simple align, cruise, and fleet-warp to a station!
You guys made this awesome!
Can't wait for Federation Day!
Anyone got anymore screenshots and video of the event? http://imgur.com/a/zMaLv
Also, I think I have a reason for why we didn't see any CCP operatives in Luminaire today:

Hi, found out about the event via the news post. Being an hour late, I thought it might have been over.
It turns out there was plenty of party left. The event exceeded my expectations, and time flew by between lightshows and flybys with the chat and music (incl. requested songs) from New Eden Radio.
Here are my amateur screenshots. I think there are some good ones. :) http://imgur.com/a/TwgwB
Thanks to everyone! The amount of prizes was crazy, with ample opportunity to win something! I definitely recommend such events. Now, I see this subforum may be a good place to look; Commander A9 also mentioned the "Live Events" chat channel. |
