Torfi, good of you to come forward.
In your post you state that TTI are already in contact with Jovian representatives, could you confirm that this is the case please?

I am trying to calm down now, but I have 1 question. You say you wanted to show players what Jove looked like, then why may I ask did you not do this on the testing server ?

i guess we all feel better now, huh? I'm glad the players who have the things will be traded something more approprate for them, too, rather than be SOL.

I can't say reimbursing TTI for their 55m isk is fair. They need to write that isk off as an expensive rental fee and suck it up.
I mean its like you want corporations to oblige each other like its sex or something. Pffft I would rather **** my enemy.- Rohann

Nice to see torifrans reply and its np really, everyone makes mistakes now and again...
Hell I even let ships go occasionally :)
Now if only the tti monkies would stop trying to make out like they are special and let this accident drop rather than trying to roleplay it as some event, we could all just forget about it.

Very true. Though I hope that if m0o ever finds a tech level 5 item (or similar) that they check to see if it should exist before using it.
There is no excuse for trying to RP the skipping of 3 tech levels.

They Can roleplay if they want too. Adds more content for them.
Just because somepeople don't want to and knowbody know weither this Game is a RPG or not. Doesn't mean they are "Monkeys". So plz stop flaming and go back about your buisness untill you have something nice to say.

I believe this thread.. but...
Who has the Other Nibelung Particle Bore Stream V lazer?
"The one" that didn't come from a Jovian.
"The one" that apeared in my Real life friends hangar? (a work mate).
It was sold.

I almost have to agree. If suruu got 55m, every character in eve should get 55m. OR-they should take suruu's 55m away, AND TTI's laser away. agree?

Yea, you're right. They can roleplay this how they want. (and I must admit, they are creative)
TTI is a smart corp though, they should have known that this item should not be in game.

Not true. I've noticed. (for all the good it does)
As I said, t0rfiFrans is a good man for standing up to his mistake.
But where did the other one come from? And, as a paying customer, prove to me that there are no other items out there that should not exist.

Thats tricky Doc. All they have to say is that it does exist but very rare or only if you perticipate in the event you get it. How would you be able to tell unless they admit it.

Thank you Torfi for your explanation. This kind of honesty is greatly appreciated. Oh, and don't worry about it, we all have out absent minded moments

I watched all the behind the scenes videos when I was trying to get into Beta (heh  ), and from what I saw they do indeed use Macs for the 3D modeling... (not sure about the textures though) They use a nifty cross platform program called Maya (VERY nifty.) Hope that helps.
Oh and Torfi, great work on the game's art man, it really is stunning. It's what made me leave Earth and Beyond and come here to EVE in the first place
By the way... the Minmatar logos on the Amarr ships, is that supposed to be some sort of sick "Intel Inside" joke? :P
Thanks again m8

That's too bad, Saruu was given a great gift and he done the wrong thing with it :(
Imagine if Saruu found a way to reverse engineer and then created the only nibelung manufacturer?
wow :] shame!

How would I tell? I'd look at the tech level, then ask a GM.
That is what they are there for.
As for how would the Eve community know, well that's up to CCP to determine. It shouldn't be that hard to write some SQL that will show all items in PC hands that are not in either the loot tables or active market tables.

I posted this somewhere else, but I wanted to post it here where the topic is a little hotter.
Ya know, this wouldn't have been a big deal normally, I mean it was only one laser. TTI did what any sane person would have done. They bought the laser and put it to use. I must admit though that the picture they posted along with it in their little press release got me up in arms immediately also.
It had a picture of the laser's show info box and in the background an entire TTI fleet mining. It was pretty easy to make the assumption that everyone one of those ships was using that laser. THAT's what made it so suspicious to me.
In hind-sight though . . . who cares. It was one mining laser given to a corpless player who turned around and did the smartest thing he could do. He sold it to the biggest corp he could find and he made his fortune.
I give kudos to TTI for role-playing it so well. Thier role-playing abilities is what I respect TTI most for, at least THEY understand that this is just a game. I am a little put out that not everyone in this game can have the kind of fun the bigger corps have but, whatever. I'll just keep staring at my rocks and killing my NPC pirates.
It's a shame they had to give the laser up IMO.

... Then someone else would reverse-engineer one of his lasers, and soon the whole EVE universe would be running with those...

yeh, I really think this was a great way to introduce content, its not unfair, whats so bad about a mysterious jovian giving a gift to a poor player.
I think there are no problems here, Saruu has a lot to learn.
Players shouldnt feel disgruntled by one uber mining laser given to someone, admittedly I was horrified when I first heard about TTI owning uber lasers, but way t0rifrans puts it, its not that bad at all.

This whole "rogue jovian agent" is just a neat roeplay event to clear up the erroneous tech 5 items right?
There wont be any other event related to the introduction of tech 2 etc items?
I'd like to know what TTi/Sanruu are given as compensation too.
LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! |

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.

I however would like to thank you for the great roleplaying you have done, its stirred up the community as it would like a real Jovian encounter. Also it shown some immature players and some greedy farks, crying about something they didnt get. It shows some true colours and im glad it happend, cuz maybe THESE players will leave and make the community a better place to be...
So thnx Jovian. 
Love to see more in the future.
-edit- stupid typo.
