Okay, no free outposts, but free dreads and freighters for many. It seems that in the patch to RMR, a number of people got all the dreads and freighters they had in production at the time auto-completed for 0 build time, in addition to getting their minerals back! Yes, that's right, they got a free insta-built dreadnaught, many of them, and this wasn't just for one person. So my questions are...
If I had an outpost being built at RMR patch, would I have gotten it for free as well?
Did anyone get a free outpost this way? (EDIT: Okay, I dont actually expect you to tell us if you did.)
Is anything going to be done about all these free Dreads and Freighters people got?
Might seem to you like I have some personal interest in this issue, and of course you'd be right :) one of the people that got the many (yes, more than 2) free dreads is a direct enemy of mine, so that means i've been set back the equivalent of 4ish dreadnaughts in order to catch up to them. So yeah I have self-interest in mind here, sue me! ;P

If anyone feels weighed down by the ethical implications of free freighters in their hangar, I'd be happy to help with that

The issue isn't as much that they auto-finished, but that they auto-finished and all minerals inside were returned.

Is this true? That is how I read it at first but some people told me otherwise. IF it is true, then CCP this is an outrage! Finishing the production is obviously necessary and not terribly consequential. Giving select players 700mil to X billion in free minerals is. Can we get an official reply on this issue?

CCP had to instantly finish production and research on all items and bluepints.
They implemented a new factory system and instead of whiping all the jobs out (and potentialy losing minerals,bpos and starting a big fiasco) they just completed them instantly. I dont know why the min's came back but it doesnt really matter.
Funny how ppl always find somthing to whine about..
Marry christmas to those that got free dreds :)
P.S. I doubt it would affect an outpost the same because they are not built in a factory.

This is no small issue that doesn't affect others mate... these are Dreads, which are used in alliance wars against other alliances. 6 free Dreads can turn the tide of a war and cause the side that would have won to lose, thus, it is a valid complaint. I'm sure lots of BS and HACs were auto completed with the mins returned as well, but I am not going to even mention that, as it is a small issue. Giving one alliance 6 Dreads and not their enemy is not a small issue. If CCP logged in and gave BoB (for example) 100 free HACs for no reason at all, don't you think their current target would (rightfully) complain? 100 free HACs is about the same ballpark value as 5-6 dreads by current market value.

good points - a few extra dreads are a good thing and if it was across the board then less likley CCP will reverse it

Think of it this way. With all the free minerals comes the ability to buy yourself and your corpmates game time cards. If this is true, CCP is in one sense giving real money to those who happened to have large ships under construction. Does that make it hit closer to home?

Pretty sure it's true, since one person that got 1 or 2 for free told me he did. He's not trying to hide it, and not trying to exploit it, but if everyone else gets to keep their free Dreads/Freighters, he's going to keep his too.

It was in the notes somewhere, before the patch was deployed, that
"Any production jobs already in place will be completed, and the minerals will be returned to your hangar."
So .... right before the patch is deployed, start building some dreadnoughts. Patch deployed, dreadnoughts built instantly, and all minerals returned to your hangar. A free billion-and-a-half ISK, multiplied by however many dreads you set up to build.
I knew about it. I just don't have enough money to work this sort of exploit.

Dreads are not as powerful as you think... let them bring them to war.

It just feels wonderful that I spend a load of time and invest iskies to make a couple of mills / day and then all of sudden CCP gives a heep of people a billion iskies just for no apparant reason.
This sucks donkey poo!!! Can't stand this bullcrap much longer. Give more iskies to the rich people!
And the POS towers? That was DEFINITLY not in the patch notes and that also got a few people a few bills.
When do I get my share of all this special treatment?

I could accept the POS price change and the people who are going to gain on that.
But this is a bit over the top.

CCP is this True or Not.
If its true you had better come up with something for us lot that never got anything but a ****load of Lag and have suffered all these downtimes and massive client memory leaks.
GIVE US AN AWNSER CCP.

It is true.
Noticed the flood of really cheap freighters on escrow in the last few days? Yup, these were the free ones.
