Last night I gave almost 300 Ships away, A friend of mine quit the game and gave me all of his assets, darn guy had over 3000 different ships, why so many I don't know. BUT I'm here to give them back to ya'll(I don't need them). Over the next few weeks I'll plan days and locations of where I'm going to give various, frigates, cruisers, battle cruisers, mining barges and maybe a battleship or 2 ;).
To get a ship its simple, Go to the location where I go next and stay near the station I'm at (high sec systems only. Then hop out in your capsule to board a ship, it'll be a Free for all basis, take as many as you want as I'll be launching several ships from my Orca at a time. Cya'l at the next location I'll update this later when I set a date.

Witnessed Maruu in action in Arnon outside the Sisters Arc mission station, loads of ships from shuttles up to cruisers flying in all directions from the Orca.
Confusion in local as skeptics tried in vain to work out what the scam was, no scam just loads of free ships. great fun to watch the scramble.
As an aside check out the map and see the big red blob that is Arnon, over 500 ships destroyed every day and most from mission runners going up against the arc bosses. well over 350 in local at peak times and rarely less than 200, I bet this will be a new Dodixie or Jita in the future as traders catch on to the huge turnover here.

This is either a random act of great generosity or the most massive smartbombing of pods to ever be.

it's the first of those two... the guy is in our corp and we know he is mad enough to do this kind of thing... 
on that notice i am going to take the offer he made to me, kind of like a sponsor, be an ******* and paste a recruitment message 
 The Colonial Empire is Recruiting new or old players, drop by Jita moon 4 and sign up! ships may be provided in certain circumstances.
for now we are keeping mostly ot hi-sec space, but once we gather 20-50 members we should move somewhere more exiting and rewarding. Oh and most importantly... we have an orca pilot (i think you all know who he is )

The Colonial Empire is Recruiting, pass by Jita, Moon 4 and sign up! |

Thanks a lot for all the stuff, Maruu. I would come again!

Maruu Navorra is obviously a really nice guy and giving all the ships away is really great of him, but i neednt have bothered turning up.
Would have liked a Drake before start of event, then was happy for anything but ended up with zilch, nada, nothing. High ping means you get nothing, as myself and a dozen or so others found out. Whilst the guys above were the ones who grabbed loads of ships (especially Julius who must have gotten arround 15 ships himself, half being BC).
All in all it could have been fun if all ships were dropped in one go - not possible or a fairer system of giving ships was possible (maybe a lotto if you turn up in a pod or something). Vut as it stands i wont bother returning.
Still Maruu Navorra it was a nice try.

Your right some people felt they got left out, however this being my first event I will try to improve ways on how people will get ships. For instance; Instruct people prior to event to remove all objects on overview aside from My orca.This improves your chances at getting a ship. I'l try to think of other ways to improve this, i don't want anyone feeling left out :) |

I got there at "stupid-o-clock" and it all finished at "oh my god-o-clock", at least in UK time.
Initially I had a hard time and managed to only get shuttles - and I think some of those weren't from Maruu lol - and then I found that by removing the pods, containers, and station guns from overview I had a better chance of clicking on something that wasn't another person.
I started to get better at it, but obviously no where near as good as some - and by the time Maruu had finished I had managed to get 3 shuttles, a Rifter, a Tristan and a Thorax.
Hopefully by the next event I will have trained some of the cruiser skills on other races. I'm gutted I couldn't get a Covetor (training for in 15 days) or a Retreiver (can fly now) or even a Brutix or a Myrm though, but a Thorax cruiser is great.
On making it fairer, I agree its annoying that some got so many of the good ships all the time. I found my chances were only good when Maruu dropped 6 or 7 ships at once, later in the event. Maybe thered be more of a fairer chance if he warped in from somewhere and dropped them off? Then its a race. Or do it in a belt, and fly around it dropping stuff off at random.
Either way, I really enjoyed myself and look forward to the next event.

SoE bureau last night
I can't say I've had more fun in Eve at any other event, got some pics below if you want to see the action :)
I was only there for half the event, but got a fair shar of ships XD (All those hours playing FPSs payed off )
I personally found it easier to set the camera to Maruu's ship when it undocked, zoom out and then wait until the ships magically appeared above his. That way my mouse was always in the right place and I managed to snag 1 ship every run
Great guy, and you should have seen the excitement in local, there was about 200+ people all spamming what ship type they wanted next. Great fun
Unforunately I was too busy spamming right click board to get any pics of mass pod swarm once the event got going, but I can tell you that every time the Orca came out, like 100 pods swarmed over it like ants

I got a Caracal, 2 drakes (one for my friend), a retriever, a tristan, and a few other minor ships in previous runs where he dropped destroyers.
It was a pretty nice event. |

Thats a good idea, Il try that when dropping bigger ships :D

Sounded like a hella lot of fun, shame I missed it. Heard about it from a buddy of mine, but even my nearest clone was 15 jumps away.
One thing I'd caution (this coming from a person on the shadier side of EVE) it NOT to move this too far from a station. You start warping around and some body is going to get caught up in the idea of the "lulz" and bring in a disco Domi regardless of the sec hit....
Anyhow great job there Maruu, EVE needs more people like you to counter balance the people like me. Definitely a permanent pass on your cans (if you mine) and wrecks (if you mission)....

See smart-bombing a bunch of pods at your own "event" seems nasty, under-handed, and perfectly acceptable to me (I did mention I'm not a very nice person [in-game] right?).
However, smart-bombing someone else's legitimately nice and beneficial "event" for the "Lulz" seems too asphat for my tastes.
