So what happens if an Apoc Imperial Issue gets flown around for a bit as part of an event? You guys going to turn up to protect it or shoot it?

CCP had gone through all the trouble of amassing escort fleets full of logi and ewar, but why? There was literally no reason for player interaction in this event. Players in no way shape or form determined any outcome of this. If it was just to further a storyline, an ISD write up would have sufficed.
This, again. The in game event itself was useless. The write up would have made more sense than an event that could not have been influenced or changed in anyway via player actions. This sets a horrible precedent for future events, where player interaction is meaningless and changes nothing.
I might just add that CCP in no way shape or form amassed any escort, let alone asked for one. This was done entirely by players.

Henry Montclaire wrote:Take Grideris(sp?) for example. He leads all of these Concord-themed fleets and such, how cool would it be for a CCP Concord Actor to reward him for his services with a Concord Battleship? Of course it shouldn't be one of those OP deathmachines we've all seen fits of, but even if it were just a reskin with the same stats as a Raven, it would still be really cool to see and would add to immersion. Knowing that dedicating time and isk to story development could have at least some reward would I think make Live Events even more exciting. There is to the best of my knowledge no major MMO that rewards roleplay as a play style, and I think doing so could only add to the unique experience that is EVE.
I can tell you right now that this would never happen. There's a reason that most capsuleers don't get access to CONCORD gear. That's not to say I wouldn't be over the moon if it did, I'm just realistic. To be honest, I'm pretty happy as it is. I've left my mark on New Eden, and I'll continue to keep leaving it so long as I can.
(And don't worry, you spelt it right.)

Come on! You can't just say you now have a great idea and not tell us!

You're mean.  I guess we'll just have to wait and see what you guys pull out of the hat.

Jesus Christ, it's almost like all of you have never had to work around an obstacle before.
If you want to defend transiting VIPs in highsec, use probes and ships with ECM Bursts to ruin suiciceganking attempts.
One of the biggest marketing points in EVE is that everyone is somewhat vulnerable at all times. This should hold true for live event actors as well. Such is life in New Eden.
Uh, learn your mods? ECM Bursts are Capital only modules. Meaning.... YOU CAN'T USE THEM IN HIGH SEC! Goons are complaining they had no way to influence the event. Well thats nice. Neither did the 'Defending Fleets' who were putting a lot more time on the line assembling a bunch of random alliance people together and organising them into a semblance of a fleet. Maybe it's time for 'Remote Shield Extender' 'Remote Armour Enhancers' and the like to exist. So you can actually do a real escort vs a suicide gank on whatever ship you want. *vanishes to the FRF & gets the asbestoes underwear on now*
Remote ECM Bursts are capital mods. Regular ECM Bursts can be fit to any ship you want.
However, ECM Bursts are more or less useless against alpha fleets. Not to mention will get you CONCORDed in Highsec very quickly.

How far are RPers willing to go to protect their actors? Grideris is a white knight figure, CONCORD aligned. It would be an interesting thing to see him decide that ganking Goons might be the lesser of two evils.
Ganking Goons is always the lesser of two evils. Well, nearly. You guys are self-declared anarchists and are out to cause trouble no matter the situation (IC). As such, it's not even something I would have to think of. Mind you, it's just not usually practical to gank you guys as we don't usually fit out for it (well to be honest, we don't really fit out so much as grab anyone in the area and press-gang them into action in whatever ship they may bring.)
Also, can I really be a white knight while consuming that much popcorn?
