Can someone please explain how this is any different to a dev spawning a BPO, teleporting players out of a camped system, or just favouring certain groups when answering petitions. If someone suggested moving one of Kenzoku's (BOB's) titans to highsec, there would be public outcry at dev favouritism, but when it's the almighty Chribba, everybody is quick to get in there and join in the massive brown-nose-orgy.
Also, just so you know, having a dreadnought in highsec, even if you only use it for mining, is still an exploit and should be treated as such. It has more cargohold than a mining BS or BC (the only ships able to fit as many lasers), and can fit more mining lasers than an industrial (the only ships with comparable cargohold). Not to mention the fact that any attempt to suicide gank it is futile. This essentially means that if Chribba wants to afk-mine he can spend longer afk and get more ore than if he was using the ships above. Ah I hear you say "but a hulk mines more and has more cargo space". Correct, but a hulk can't tank 100 BS's shooting at it for the 10 seconds before concord arrives. This is essentially a license to afk-mine while being completely safe from any attack, and get a very good yield while afk.
I propose that CCP remove ALL highsec capitals, drop them in station in the nearest lowsec system, and declare it an exploit to ever fly a capital ship in highsec again. This would fix this obvious fault with the game, and might stop all the fanboy-celebrity madness that's going on here.
It is completely different. It would be done with the community knowing and knowing why. From a role playing perspective, Chribba has done a lot for the community and there is no reason why from a RP standpoint you could not believe his character acts the same way in game. Therefor, especially with their new leader, the Amarr letting Chribba move his Titan into Amarr may not be that unbelievable. So they make him remove his DDD and the Titan is harmless.
I will not comment on the capital afk-mining in empire thing because it does not deserve a response.

Sadly that's how favoritism works - most people only have a problem with it when the favoritism is given to the person or side they dislike.
When an alliance wins the alliance tournament they receive a monument in a solar system of their choice. Chribba's actions IMHO have earned him a reward from the Armarr empire. Its not favoritism when you put a logical reason behind it. If Chribba was some random guy who had not done anything but be buddy buddy with a dev then yes, it would be favoritisim. Anyways, enough ranting from me.
I vote yes, Chribba has done enough in my view to earn this reward from the empire.
