Well, if not through Live Events, how can these special ships be distributed? Are they never going to be used again?

Will sell my firstborn for an opportunity at a Fedthron*.





*Though my heart is set on a CONCORD Special OPS Battleship I know I'll never get my hands on one =(

The rare special edition ships should never be handed out again, There's only one fedthron in exsistance and while i'd murder my granny for a chance at flying it, Handing them out again after so long wouldent be fair on the collectors who've paid unimaginable amounts of isk, the tribal tempest and a imperial (geddon?) i think it was both recently sold for 2trillion isk...each.

Thats market speculation. Other than the AT ships, I don't believe CCP has ever said something is limited edition. So it really is at buyer risk to speculate that something won't be handed out again at a later date. CCP have said so themselves recently that they won't limit themselves simply because players buy & sell rare items. Only where CCP has declared something to be Limited, rather than Special edition.
But.... as above, I just can't see how you could judge who is worth giving a ship to and who isn't. Even for the simple T1 stuff how do you decide who is entitled & who isn't.

The live events should be their own reward and people should contribute because it is fun for them.

Hehe, how fitting that I should read this after posting about favouritism in a different thread. My personal take on it is this (note, this is not something we have discussed within the team): Events should be their own reward, but there are certain events that render a large impact on people and for these I do think there should be some kind of memento. An Imperial Apoc is NOT a mememto

Seriously, we won't be bringing back the old unique ships for events. We might give other stuff away that is interesting, but no Guardian Vexor, Opux Luxury Yacht, Fedthron, Impoc, SIR, etc, etc.

...I hope you all at CCP do take note of how much people actually want an in game way to get hold of such ships.

You're kinda missing the point of their rarity.

I thought I'd already responded to this thread but clearly forgot to.

CCP Goliath says it all

Could... YOU... the devs i mean... use the shiney of shinies? there are very few ships i havent seen, would love to put a volly into Impoc

The ships in themselfs would make the event lol

That ruins events as much as anything else.
Devs flew TTI in an event. Goons showed up en mass to gank it just because it was a TTI. And since it was Highsec, there was literally no way to defend against a mass gank on overwhelming force. That will happen any event a shiny rare ship comes out at, people will target it just to be on the killmail, with no thought to who is in it.

Maybe we'll finally have a convoy that fails, then?

Yes. Every single one. :P No one likes escort missions in other games, they aren't any better in Eve.

Gold Magnates for an out of game lottery ?

But nothing for ingame actions ?

OK.

CCP Unifex is mad. He is so mad that he is assembling a team of pilots throughout the Polaris system to ship up in some cool ships and escort three Marshal Class CONCORD SWAT battleships on a roam through lowsec. GÇÿGatecamps be damnedGÇÖ, he said as he fitted more and more weapons. GÇÿNo one is getting out aliveGÇÖ.

Pilots may want to avoid Low Sec for the next few days and let this terror pass before, as he puts it, GÇÿAll hell breaks looseGÇÖ. We will try and give you guys a heads up when the fleet is expected to hit. Bring an army. Bring ten armies! This is going to get rough.

Dev roams are very old news. They do them now and then and they aren't really connected with Live Events at all.

So the "3x Guardian Vexor" is just a typo on the somer blink page? http://cogdev.net/blink/?act=celebration

Considering he was talking purely about live events, not CCP in every aspect..... it's irrelevant.
Because it's a different area.
Learn to read with context people.

In that context it makes this worse.

I fly them when I'm messing around on Sisi sometimes. We thought about using them in the dev caravans once but felt it was distasteful to the collectors.
