I would like to thank t0rfiFrans for explaining the situation. His description of the Jovian encounter is exactly as I described it in my other comments on another thread. I'm happy it has been cleared up that we did not exploit nor did we cheat.
Whatever TTI gains in compensation will be fair I'm sure. I commend CCP for turning this unfortunate error into a grand role-playing experience. I don't do alot of writing and am lousy writing in-character so this is a challenge for me but I'm enjoying the opportunity.
As for Saruu I am happy to have talked to him on several occasions since the purchase (via evemail) and feel he did what he felt was best for his company. That is the ultimate form of loyalty.
As for everyone else I hope the Jovians appear again (after our meeting tomorrow) and do gift "Godly" items on people at random (although level 2 not 5?  ) to introduce us to their culture. I think meeting a Jovian would be a fun experienc and I think as an explorer (I'm director of exploration for TTI) becoming a Jovian would be the ultimate gaming experience for me. The quest for knowledge is something we should all aspire too.
Safe journey to all.

Alpha,
Being a capitalist I view Saruu's decision to sell as purely financial (and thus good). But thats from a capitalist view.
We could never use that miner because of its value. It basically sat in a secure hangar the whole time we had it.

Lonewulf:
Sure give TTI a refund when you take it.. as SOON as they return all the massive quantities of high level ore it allowed them to mine in record time.
Actually we never used it (except to try it out). It was far too expensive to ever mount on a ship as a one-of-a-kind item. It sat in a secure hangar the entire time waiting for reverse engineering.
Now that the Jovians have come for it I'm sure they will take it back.

Crownan,
Your observations are basically correct. I think the real issue here wasn't that the item appeared but the fact TTI ended up with it.
People seem to love to hate us but we still get 4-5 emails a week from other CEO's asking how our "model" works in running a company.
We're a big target as evidenced by the continued attacks on our shipping by new 1-man companies (some even write us to tell us they attacked us to "become famous") and the continued negative slant in the forums here.
We've been accused of cheating and exploiting regarding this laser and I've yet to read one apology for this now that the truth has come out. I've apologized SEVERAL times on these forums when I make a mistake but then again thats the kind of person I am. I would like to think outside roleplaying (I know some criticism is roleplaying and I'm fine with that) people could admit when they've made a mistake.
If any other company but TTI had obtained this, or even if Saruu had kept it, and it became public knowledge, you wouldn't have seen this outcry.
Nor would you have seen the accusations we use Polaris and GM members for our own gain (really out of line roleplay or not).

"I don't believe Calladen Nimitz for a minute when he says they don't use the mininglaser.
I bet they strapped it on a huge indy and go thru roids like crazy"
Don't be too surprised Yalson. Its like President Bush, some people don't believe anything he says even if it is obviously is true. Obviously this type of attitude is present here in the game as well.
The brains at work here can't comprehend if you had a device that was one of a kind and knew reverse engineering was coming in the game you sure wouldn't risk it in a ship. I mean even mounted on a battleship there is always risk. From tests the output of this laser was several times more then a standard laser but the fact remains it was ONE laser.
On a personal note I don't lie to people for a living. If your "comments" were roleplaying please let me know and I'll accept that as I am after all a capitalist after money and not some charity case.
Otherwise an apology is appropriate from you although given the playerbase and its comments when this incident first came up (carebear, exploiter, Polaris conspirator, cheater, friend of CCP) I think I can honestly say its not expected.

"Oh you poor injured little darling. "
Not at all. Your reply proves my point about the way some people are. Since I assume real life is often interjected here your reaction clearly shows what type of person you probably are in real life.
I think your words speak for themselves.
