Security status remaining at 1.0?

CONCORD and the navies will still be on the prowl for those who choose to breach the Yulai Convention.

At the same time, trust me, you'll be able to shoot at eachother.

Am I missing something?

Are you saying that losses in this system due to ~nonconsensual pvp~ are normally reimbursed by the GM team if the crybaby loss-ee petitions it?

Now I'm confused.......

Crap, I'm a Caldari loyalist who just dropped the militia.... should I rejoin if I want to fight alongside the Caldari? I want to support the state in anything that goes on tomorrow what's the best way to do that?

You're best to stay out of the militia. It's still going to be a Gallente system, so the Faction Navy will still shoot you.

Thank you for your insight, but I'm assuming that normal high sec rules won't apply tomorrow...

Thank you for your insight, but I'm assuming that normal high sec rules won't apply tomorrow...

To clear up the most common question:

It's not physically possible to just "turn off" factional warfare NPCs, or the status of a system as a Factional Warfare system. Whether or not players decide they want to depart from the militia for a few days or not is entirely their own choice.

We won't be disabling all high sec rules (mostly because there are a lot of rules we can't disable without risking breaking everything).

U should ve chosen smth closer to lowsec where guys with -sec status cane come and enjoy the event. Pitty.

No, I think what they're saying is fly here at your own risk that day. Bugs, server crashes, lag, and any other potentially reimbursable cases will be non-reimbursable that day.

That day, in that system, the logs will show nothing.

The Gallente Militia is going to love this!

The Leviathan will burn and any who dare to stand in our way.

Put in another way: Will the ONLY way to support your chosen faction be through militia enlistment or will independent pilots be able to assemble into militia fleets to help out?

Watch, as entering the system makes you suspect....

I'm guessing that means the sec status of the system won't be changed by that post - or else we'd be able to get caps in and log them off so after the event we end up with lots more like the veldnaught in amarr.

Set sec to below .5...remove concord and faction police actions...allow cynos and capitals in... watch hilarity ensue.

The GM Team would like to make it known that due to events that will be occurring in the system of Luminaire over the weekend, ships or capsules destroyed between downtime on Friday, March 22nd (11:00 UTC on 22/03/2013), and Downtime on Saturday March 23rd (11:00 UTC on 23/03/2013) will not be eligible for reimbursement.

Players who do not wish to be at risk of in game loss due to ongoing hostilities in the Luminaire solar system should be sure to add this system to their autopilot avoidance list and ensure they stay well clear of Luminaire over the course of the weekend. Ship or capsule losses between downtime on Friday, March 22nd (11:00 UTC on 22/03/2013), and Downtime on Saturday March 23rd (11:00 UTC on 23/03/2013) will not be eligible for reimbursement due to the ongoing conflict between the Gallente Federation and the Caldari State.

More funny to ahrvest tears : All powerblock unite for one day and drop the biggest fleet of cap/super cap on grid to spidertank and keep the titan alive while everybody ***** and moan about it never going down.

Why is a HIGH SEC system being set to free for all, When the whole point of a 1.0 system is that it's supposed to be about as safe as it gets in empire space.

Why is something that is faction warfare based / the waste of time game dust based being forced down the throat of regular eve players who iether don't do faction warfare or don't give a rats ass about what happens in dust.

All this free fire zone as its being called does is force FW and the waste of space dust on to people who don't even want it.

And someone should not have to avoid a system just because FW is going on there if there not in FW. this is utter rubbish

This next bit just wreaks of DUST being foisted on people who don't want it
""Players who do not wish to be at risk of in game loss due to ongoing hostilities in the Luminaire solar system should be sure to add this system to their autopilot avoidance list and ensure they stay well clear of Luminaire over the course of the weekend.""

Btw why is it eve players pay for there accounts but these waste of space dust players get to invade our space game for free.

Ok, I'm trying really hard to figure out what the best route to take is here. Luminaire isn't a "FW system", but it IS subject to FW police. I know CCP doesn't want to give out too many spoilers, and that's cool, but I'm assuming there will be some sort of conflict between Caldari and Gallente (with plenty of yarrs smashing everything inbetween).

My concern is how I can best position myself to support the Caldari in w/e way I can. I want to pick a side in the conflict. I know it's going to be all hell breaking loose but the last thing I want is to show up alone in some random FFA. I want to know how I can join the Caldari forces.... will they be led by a dev? Will organization be left to the players?

Also, the reason I keep asking about being in the militia or not is due to the 24 hour wait period. I don't want to show up to the party and realize I should have or shouldn't have been part of the militia in order to take full advantage of it.

Put in another way: Will the ONLY way to support your chosen faction be through militia enlistment or will independent pilots be able to assemble into militia fleets to help out?

what and watch PL drop 100 dreads and mealt the titan?

OK for those of you who did not read the books:


The means through which that Titan got there, and the start of the war in general, involved the DISABLING of Concord.

Yes Concord was taken out for a short time. I won't say any more, because the books are a great read and I don't want to spoil anything. Get the books, you will love them even if you are not into the lore of the game and sci-fi in general. .

So, it's not like it can't happen again.

Important note, the live events channel fleets will be passive aggressive.
We will most likely not engage first but those engaging one will face all.

Also attempting to turncoat is a one time affair and will result in various lolz depending on your positioning.
Followed promptly by OMGWTFPWNBBQ firepower.

And then Grideris shall add you to his list of people to knife face when the door opens.
He is an Australian and the knife will probably be made of platypus barbs and irkijui jellyfish toxin.

... platypus barbs ?

and irkijui jellyfish toxin.

If you've been in Caldari FW, you probably have negative Gal standings, which means that the faction navy will be after you anyway.

Most Caldari supporters, unsuprisingly, have terrible Gal standings. If you can make it, you'll be one of a few who do, because CCP has set the Caldari up to fail already by keeping most of us out of Luminaire, not to mention the fact that one of the devs has already said that players aren't intended to be able to change the story. So I wouldn't bother - you'll just lose isk so that CCP and their Gal blues can get their rocks off.

We won't be disabling all high sec rules (mostly because there are a lot of rules we can't disable without risking breaking everything).

lol rp.
would it be terrible to provide any type of info except that the system will crash?

It should be noted that the Empyrean Age events noted in the book happened during the down time for the patch/update. None of us were online to experience them.

DEV's, please state the region of the affected solar system in your announcements.

For anyone that has not looked it up yet, Luminaire is in Essence.

CCP has clearly underestimated the popularity of live events.


The RP and fiction/lore people have begged and scraped and clamored for CCP to recognize that live events are very important and for many players it's the only thing left that keeps them subscribing. You can have a live event without warning and in the fleets you will see people who have not logged in for months or who have come in 40 jumps from their grind to participate.



Evidently a gankfest in Jita (one person's idea of "emergent play") has more "weight" in their perception than a live event of this magnitude and the desires of thousands of players.



I hope they take this as a learning experience.

WHY A WEEKDAY!? next time do this on the weekend!!!!

Nice troll.

There are dozens of other highsec systems nearby, just spend a week-end elsewhere. It won't kill you.

This system is chosen because it is the homesystem of the Gallente and the Caldari.

The GM Team would like to make it known that due to events that will be occurring in the system of Luminaire over the weekend, ships or capsules destroyed between downtime on Friday, March 22nd (11:00 UTC on 22/03/2013), and Downtime on Saturday March 23rd (11:00 UTC on 23/03/2013) will not be eligible for reimbursement.

Worst event ever. I wasted half hour on gate trying to get in. And then when i finally got in there was nothing happening. No flashies. Just some FW stuff shooting eachothers with 10% TiDi. Then i jumped out and got killed and podded in hisec without doing anything. So thanks for nothing ccp. And no i didnt know i get some **** stupid sucpect timer for being in there.

I thought everyone in there got one from what others were reporting.

So many bubbles are going to be burst when 3-4k people try to enter the system and witness the lag first hand.

No, I think what they're saying is fly here at your own risk that day. Bugs, server crashes, lag, and any other potentially reimbursable cases will be non-reimbursable that day.

That day, in that system, the logs will show nothing.

and still we can't help dust bunnies with a orbital bombardment

I was there, with my son in our Dust persona and as far as I know, not a single orbital strike that was called for was denied by a capsuleer.

Cheers to the Gods of the sky... ^5s

Those are your war barge strikes. Not a true OB. As it wasn't a FW system no Eve player could OB. At least thats how I understand it.

While I don't deny that you were getting bombardments I don't think they were coming from us eggers but rather the NPCs. Trust me I had my FW alt in system we checked out every District on Caldari prime for well over a 2 hour period and not only did we not get any contact we never saw any sign of combat on the planet surface I'll maintain that this is still a big fail for CCP...if your going to put Dust in our universe and let it influence events then let us have that very same opportunity.
