Better Shield properties than Draclira's PDS (tradeoff: less cap). Rock this thing out on your Wyvern or Lev
Drac shown for comparison.
http://www.tog-corp.com/kb/?a=invtype&id=15439, It's also listed in the EFT database.
I listed it on temporary public auction (in Kor-Azor) so you can showinfo on it in-game (and see that I have it). It's linked in my Bio as well.
We assume it's the only one on TQ as there's no other information about it, and dear Entity had neither heard of it or put it in his list (until last night).
- Starting/minimum bid: 5b - Minimum bid increment: 100m - Closing date and time: 0400utc Oct 19 - Reserve price: [Hidden] - Sniper Rule: 30min rollback - Buyout price: 15b - Item Location: Imih, Kor-Azor

A little background: This drop was the result of two compounding "undocumented features" plus good luck on at least three extremely low-probability ship/item spawns coming together at once.
Three petitions and two bug reports were opened in relation to this mess; I don't particularly expect this to ever happen again, whether the issues get resolved or not. It's impossible for me to replicate, that's absolutely certain.
I got it legitimately, but it killed a basilisk, cerberus, rokh, and muninn (all rigged) along the way. If this doesn't meet reserve by mid-month, this little guy is going on one of our Levs for the best post-Dominion shield tank on all of TQ.
Happy bidding

Thank you for not informing me.
Edit: correction there. I heard of it. Just didn't think they dropped until last patch. _

I know someone talked to you (one of the goons that was along for the ride). If he tried to set up a deal with you, I apologize, he told me you only made an offer for it. Goons aren't the most acute creatures, and that guy isn't known as the most keen among us. I appreciate your having taken the time to chat with him, sorry for any miscommunication that resulted. I did contract you the tag at the price he said you offered, in Highsec.
If you want to discuss this thing, PH or convo myrtarous and check for the director title to make sure it's me.

If I knew for sure, I still wouldn't tell you. I AM sure that the number of factorials involved in the probability calculation for this would make the formula look like a CAOD post.
You're probably aware of our chest-beating titan fleet (and all the threats against it for post-dominion invasions), and you probably know about the way the Lev's shield tank will work post-patch as well. Add in this extra shield property to the newly-enormous shield of a Lev and it's a really incredible improvement, something on the order of 440,000 raw hp ABOVE what Draclira would give. We will get plenty of use out of this if the auction doesn't hit reserve.
On top of that, the rarity (it's the only one) adds immense value, anyone would be proud to have this on their lossmail :v
If it's not worth it to you, don't bid :) . It's worth it to [someones] so far.

Put it this way, it's so rare that it doesn't even show up in things you can search for in contracts, it's not listed under variations on a PDS, and has never been found, ever. There's a good chance it was intended to be removed and someone missed a trigger.

Nope, this is an event item, unique one, same as Luther Verone's Smartie or Tachyon, or Nayon's Web.. It most likely won't drop ever again, and he prolly got it at the end of a multy stage(8-10?) Storyline mission against the Amarr Empire or one of the subfactions(Khanid maybe) given by a Pirate Faction(Bloodraiders?).. Good luck with the sale!

Yeah because 4.5 billion is so very very close to 25 billion. Except it isn't.

1. that wasn't myrt. 2. the general idea when people don't agree about a price is to negotiate a better price, not deploy a forum troll squad afterwards

Just so we're clear, I am in no way asking for or encouraging the "forum troll squad" you see here.
It's more like "can't stop the goonrush." Dear fellow goons: try to be civilized. Everything's going fine, no one is insulted or anything, Entity's just doing his best to pay the least, and I'm doing the opposite.
This is just how it works.

You know what they say, there's no such thing as a free bump.
This isn't exactly the kind of auction that needs bumping though, it's more like auctioning a historic yacht. Anyone who should know about it ... already does.

In any case, this is big news and changes the nature of this auction from "just discovered" to "unique." I'll tack on another week to give me time to get chibba in on it.
edit: apologies to anyone who actually might have had designs on the buyout (you should've taken it, lazy slob). We're bids-only now, it seems this isn't just the only one now, it's the only one forever

Nah, you got it all wrong, it's not about how rich you are, but about how cheap even though you're rich .. if you weren't you'd allready have the mod by now, as it was listed on contracts for a quite a while About the rich part, check this out, it's prolly 30-35 bil worth of mods on that thread alone, and it contains only what i wanna sell.. if i wanted that PDU, i would have taken it.. Good luck on the new auction tho'!

Your making several mistakes first that I'm rich because I throw isk around (seriously who gets rich spending more than they need to) and secondly that I even log ingame to check contracts.

They changed the NPC type from Faction Officer to Deadspace 'Officer' during that early downtime a few days ago. He no longer drops anything worth ****, he's like any other complex rat now. I got a T1 tach and a large inefficient armor rep from him, which is what just about right for any other ****ty complex BS.

I'll be happy to post details.
We've been conducting extensive research on this officer since I found him, obviously trying to replicate this situation but, as BFM posted, the spawn and its behavior appears to have been changed after this auction was made public. It looks like this is going to be unique forever. Good for me, bad for goons. Great for whoever decides to win this thing.

Aw; give it time, still two days left. I've been contacted privately by some folks who plan to snipe this pretty hard. I don't mind sniping, the OP mentions discretionary 30min rollback, but of course this is subject to my greed. Bids will be compared using the post timestamp here, or chatlog timestamps if placed in-game.
In any case, I'm sure the winner will properly treasure a unique mod just as anyone would a state raven or similar once-only item.
Or they'll relist it and make me feel dumb while making billions, since this is the only one ever to spawn in the 6+ years eve's been running. heh.
