Good morning capsuleers,
It's a bit early in the day, but we've decided to give you this Dev Blog a little earlier than usual.
CCP Fozzie is here to talk about how you can get your hands on some new tech in the coming months, by assisting the faction navies with gathering equipment for their research.
Take a look, and read all about it here. CCP Falcon || Community Manager || @CCP_Falcon
Happy Birthday To FAWLTY7! <3 |

I like the idea of players actually influencing the lore. Hell, I didn't know there was all this lore for a year or two after I started playing because it was not very visible. While I don't plan on participating because I can't be bothered to go into WHs, I do hope this continues. CCP RedDawn:Ugly people are just playing life on HARD mode.

This sounds fun!
But what is to stop people from just buying up a bunch of the Neural Network Analyzer and Sleeper Data Library items on the market in order to "win," instead of actually hunting sleepers?

My first impression is that I have practically no chance of being the top donor for a faction, so why even take part? All factions will get the same tech anyway no matter the player action. I guess my suggestion would be that you move more towards the alliance tournament reward system, where people outside the top position have something to look forward to and a reason to give their best even though it won't be enough for first place. |

I was just wondering, what if the items are contracted behalf of a corp, and not a single character?
But I agree with others, I will never be one of those who scores so many to get the commission, so I will probably not gather any for personal use but if it were to benefit the corp or alliance then yeah I would be out there.
Also I have a feeling a lot of players are going to be drooling thinking of new T3 ships, or subsystems, people wont be happy if it turns out to be just some hyped random crap. |

Well, blue loot is basically ISK in item form, so it's not actually about how much blue loot you have stockpiled, but rather how much ISK you are willing to spend on this. You can just buy the blue loot from w-space corps at a slightly higher price than the npc buy order. |

Just 2 of them. Give one to Entity, give the other to Tyrrax with the small addendum that he has to get himself blown up in it during some random fight within 6 months.

This event is primarily aimed at those people who want to support their chosen faction and win the collective goal of getting their race first shot at the new tech. The honorary commissions are a secondary prize that is simply intended to give really big donors something extra to shoot for. None of those rewards will involve items that may ba valued insane ammount of ISK i understand(what i suppoort) ? |

I like this idea of player generated lore, even tho all factions will eventually get their hands on the new tech. So, how about some speculations about what the change will be. I'd like to see T3 frigs or maybe even T3 industrial ships, but doubt that it will be anything that drastic. Maybe rebalance of t3's with a touch of new subsystems?

*attempts to establish the latest lore time line...
I might have forgotten some aspects:
- Concord is losing its control as the Empires get weaker and weaker as they crank out more pod pilots.
- Pod pilots went from relying upon camera drones for everything to having a momentary first person view warping with star gates. Afterwards, the camera drones are operational again.
- Concord of the Empires "fix" those pesky pod pilots by making them scan each and every system they enter no matter what ship they are using.
- Concord or the Empires threaten the pod pilots to leave various covert sites alone and don't touch the loot within.
- All capital ships were sabotaged to jump a maximum of five light years while the pod pilot within is worn out. No answers about the rest of his or her crew is experiencing.
- The Empires are suddenly interested in items from worm holes when said worm holes have been pillaged for years now.
Again, I am pretty sure I forgotten some points...

Not matter what kind of reward there is, if this event motivates 500 players to make their first trip into w-space it will be a win-win. Content for the w-space inhabitants for a week + as long as those players stay... if they feel like settle down or don't know how to get out... New horizons for players who never have been to a wormhole. Win-win.

I rarely read the EVE lore, but this sounds very interesting.
However, I can also understand the sentiment of other players. As each faction will receive the new technology eventually, and I would assume that as soon as it is released, that all players will be able to use it, beyond RP value for an unknown item, I don't know if it would be worth it.
Now... if I would receive one "Concord Issue Damage Control Unit" per 100 points donated, that may be a little more fun |

If the forum is any indication, it appears that whoever delivers the first 10 items will be rewarded
That-¦s an excellent way of starting to ifluence the story CCP, clear objectives, ingame memory, and actually player effort involved. Kudos.
As mentioned before, is it possible that Corporations are also contestants instead of individual players? This would open room for a more organized effort and expectancy of achievment.
And yes, there will be people that will simply buy everything n the market and contract to the NPC, that-¦s as much effort as the ones that go into W-Space and pew pew their way. Everyone complaining so far just want to reduce the competition
Looking foward for the results, hope the Caldari lead the way!
Keep up with the RP events, the lore community need some <3

So basically this is a case study on how not to do cluster wide events?
If you wanted to do a cluster wide event the previous one rewarding players geckos was the correct way to do it. |

I was just telling someone this weekend how we had the Jovian body part collection event waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day.
More importantly:
What is the time delay between the first empire getting this new technology and the second? ...the last?
We need to know more about the reward if we're going to decide it's worth the risk, or the isk (side note, i just realized 3/4ths of risk is isk) to "donate" to an empire.
When you say the Empire gets the tech first, is this going to be something in the FW LP stores? All their Stations? A new ship? A new module? We neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed mooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnfffffffffffoooooooooo! I can kill you with my brain too. It's genetic.

If you care for your faction, you won-¦t bother with "risk". And as people mentioned before, eventualy the tech will be spread and you-¦ll get your hands into it, so if you care about the advancement of knowledge, you better open your wallet, just ike in RL.
You remember the space race? National pride was the fuel, tech was a consequence.

II. NASA's Influence on the U.S. Economy
Analyses of the macroeconomic effects of the U.S. space program attempt to identify and measure that portion of economic growth attributable to technological progress. A Midwest Research Institute (MRI) study of the relationship between R&D expenditures and technology-induced increases in GNP indicated that each dollar spent on R&D returns an average of slightly over seven dollars in GNP over an eighteen-year period following the expenditure (3). Assuming that NASA's R&D expenditures produce the same economic payoff as the average R&D expenditure, MRI concluded that the $25 billion (1958) spent on civilian space R&D during the 1959-69 period returned $52 billion through 1970 and will continue to stimulate benefits through 1987, for a total gain of $181 billion. |

To those who weren-¦t around at the time, the Crielere project was a joint Caldari-Gallente project to advance technology in a revolutionary way, and while it lasted, it did (That-¦s where we got Cloaking dvices from)
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Crielere
The Crielere Research Laboratories were a joint scientific endeavor between the Caldari State and Gallente Federation. The project was founded by Henric Touvolle and Taromi Umailen with heavy involvement from Duvolle Laboratories and Ishukone Corporation. During its short existence, it was responsible for several important scientific breakthroughs and was the center of massive controversy.
Crielere was the first to recognize the manufacturing potential of Morphite. Otro Gariushi, CEO of Ishukone, pledged that the technology would be freely available to anyone who wanted it.

The problem, massive as it is, with this and your NASA analogy is that it doesn't really line up with the game world.
In the real world, we research not knowing what the result will be or if it is even possible to do what we want. It is a risky investment that could result in zero gains.
In this case, we know the new tech is coming. Not only that, but we know the tech will be available to everyone. There could be literally one person who donates only "1 point" of material, and the end result will still be the same (hell, it would probably come out if zero people participated in the research event). The game will get the new tech, and it will be available to everyone. You could (through epic wizardry) convince the entire CFC to spend every isk they have on these donation items. They could send every pilot to WH space to farm them as much and as fast as possible. And in the end, the result will be the same.
The blog says the winning empire will get the new tech "first", but it doesn't elaborate. There's no incentive to be first if second is only a day later. And even if the tech doesn't show up in ______insert empire/LP store/NPC station here______ for weeks, there's nothing stopping people from going to the winning empire's area and getting the tech for yourself. There are no technology embargoes like real life, there's no in-game penalty for corporate espionage, there is nothing stopping the other 3 empires from getting the tech moments after it is deployed to the game during downtime on the first day.
So again, CCP needs to give more details for it to even be worthwhile to donate. Unless your only goal is to have something in the game with your name on it, then by all means, donate to your heart's content. I can kill you with my brain too. It's genetic.

Tldr. Nobody knows nor cares for the event till they know what the possible prize is. I think something like this would help get people who don't go for the rewards interested and involved. Currently the plan seems to be this:
Current plan: Donate your personal wealth to get something for your faction some time before everyone else gets that something too. If you don't donate, you don't know what you get or what you're missing until it's too late to do anything about it anyway.
Alternate plan: Donate your personal wealth to get *sexy new stuff* for your faction months before everyone else gets their own different *sexy stuff*. If you don't donate, that other faction might get their *sexy stuff* and have a tangible advantage and bragging rights over your faction for months.
At its core it's the same plan, but with less random dice rolls involved in the decision making process and more tangible content to get more people excited and invested about. Teasing people to get them excited doesn't really work, if you don't have anything to show them. |

It's obvious - Experimental Fatigue Reduction Capital Rig BPC will drop in C2 anoms only. Needs one Sleeper Jump Drive Relict that drops exclusively in Drone Regions and has a volume of 400000 cubic meters and some other random stuff. Will reduce your jump fatigue by 3%.
If this fails to make (escorted) freighters jumping choke point gates in 0.0, the next expansion will bring a new allocation of Isotopes (drone regions again) and a slight 1500% increase of volume for topes and fuel blocks. At the end we will play this game exactly how CCP wants us to play. Or not at all ....

Hmmmmm Sleeper tech? Navy intervention? Sounds like Tech 3 battleships to me.....
In my opinion (which no one really gives a rats patoot about) lore wise, it's time for an advancement in Tech 3 class ships. Corpies have been discussing it and some think T3 frigates, most think T3 battleships.
I'm on the battleship side of things. Frigates don't have enough fitting flexibility to make a decent t3. Battleships on the otherhand have many more fitting slots available and are a seemingly logical choice for advancements in Sleeper tech.
With the changes in Jump Drive mechanics, could Tech 3 battleships be our path to battlefield glory?
A cloaky, nullified battleship? Scarrrry.

... sigh.. I'll bite...
It can be one of.. oh a dozen things, the most likely scenario is a T3 ship. Most likely, it will be either a Frigate or a Destroyer (yes I said it, a T3 destroyer). This is assuming that they want to start exploiting those frigate holes nobody uses.
One of the other options, isn't a ship, but its equipment. The major "fear" is that empires won't be able to access lovely T2 equipment due to the jump freighter changes, so a "solution" to that is for either a) use wormhole salvage and blueloot to create Wormhole Equipment (onpar with T2 but still different) b) start straight out dropping wormhole equipment from sites (aka, Super Sleeper Loot Rats).
I don't see the T3 battleship as an option, mainly because it would encroach too much on the Marauder, Black Ops (when they get their rebalance), and the current T1 Battleships.
They already tested the concept with the Nestor, and for that ship to really make a difference, it would need a covops cloaking device. The problem is is that the ship would be WAAAY too powerful with a covops cloak. It'd be able to take blackops bridges, cloak at anytime, and basically pwn the field.
You launch a legion of T3 battleships with the same ability..... 0.0, wormhole space, etc would turn into nothing but Battleship Cloaked Online.
I don't see a T3 battleship (does not provide enough to the game). Not to say that is what they are doing, but they wouldn't be able to be balanced in any credible way, especially due to their future potential cost.
Most likely, you are looking at a Frigate or Tanked Destroyer, or actual wormhole equipment.
Assuming sanity prevails, its probably one of those three.
Again, that is pure assumption based on 0 evidence. For all we know this is all a giant scam to release a new "buy now" ship skin
Edit: I'll clarify on why a destroyer and its probable role.
Eve needs a hunting probing ship. Currently, if you want to combat probe, you are using a T3 Cruiser, maybe the Stratios, or some maligned ship and some alt that is fit solely to probe. There is room for a probing smaller sized ship, that is combat fit. The likely most combat capable ships, that isn't used to enough extent in Wormhole Space, would probably be the destroyers. Now we use interdictors all the time, but usually they die in a ball of flames (that's fine). A T3 destroyer, that can combat probe.. maaaybe cloak, would be of some use to actual hunters and killers, as there really is no frig or destroyer that can do that.
Adding a interdiction bubble would be too powerful, but a cloaking destroyer capable of combat probing is a hole that hasn't been filled yet in eve.
Is it sane to create, with the added cost..... who knows. Eitherway, that's my speculation, insane or not.
Personally, I would prefer actual wormhole equipment. People prefer loot vs a single shiny ship that they may or may not fly. Yaay!!!! |

I'm not a fan of the all or nothing reward system and I think it discourages participation. As for having loyalty to a faction, I gave up on that when I moved to wormhole space. Wormhole space has it's own factionless RPing which is far stronger in the community than any ties to Empire Navies.
I genuinely love the idea of introducing changes with events and lore but I think this is the wrong way of doing it. If I end up participating in this it will probably be through Guillome Renard's campaign.
Low class wormholes need some love but having the option to gamble your loot in a community event is not fun gameplay. |

I like this event.
Well, viewing things from the lore side, it is obvious that the empires still have something up their sleeves when it comes to sophisticated technology and it is true that they keep it from us capsuleers. But what we can benefit from this will probably be some new faction modules or even ships and the more we support our favorite faction the better their stuff will come out. After that we can use it at our discretion. So even the smallest contribution will matter.
I am using the opportunity to warn you: if the Sleeper code has gone crazy then we should all be prepared. What stops the Sleepers from jumping through the woormholes to K-Space? I mean - most of the wormholes lead to Anoikis right?
So better do the smart thing and prepare some ships with high omni tank. |

Lol to this. CCP seems to have suddenly realised how much their changes to WH's suck and instead of fixing them after seeing the damage to activity in WH space (like we have been saying so for the past month or so), they try to do this event instead in order to try and increase activity again, rather than fixing the god awful changes that caused the problem in the first place.
Just revert the changes and all will be well again!

The only thing I don't like about wormhole space right now is the new nebulae. Such dark and depressive colors, pale, driving away any visitors. I know that there has been a lot of work involved in creating the new ones and I apreciate that, but I think it was not needed. The old ones were so beautiful. Believe it or not, that was one of the main reasons that brought me there. I want them back. But this is probably for another topic (that I will soon create). |

Will this tech have a race requirement and if so would I want to donate to the Navy of my race or to the Navy I have the highest rep with?
As there is nothing gated by your starting race right now many have higher rep with other factionGÇÖs navy. Where will my donations do be the greatest service?
Clearly IGÇÖm confused, can someone help me here?

1. this has nothing to do with faction warfare. 2. this is a ccp event 3. the rewards for this event are currently listed as only going to the highest donator to their particular faction -
devblog wrote:The commissions will be given to the character that donates the highest value of Neural Network Analyzers and Sleeper Data Libraries (combined and weighted) to each faction over the course of the event. This statement from the dev blog implies that there will be Four prizes total, one to each highest donator to each faction (one for amarr, one for gallente etc.) it also seems possible for one character to be the highest donator to each of the four factions. 4. It does not seem restricted by starting race. 5. the ldev blog also implies that the total donations to each empire will determine the order in which the new sleeper inspired items will be released for each race. Ie, if Amarr is the overall winner of donations, the ammarrian X module/subsystem/ship item will be released before the second place winner Caldari X module/subsystem/ship item and so on. 6, in theory your (smallish) donations will not matter a huge amount. as all four races will get something eventually, its only the intended race to the top for "most donations" that matter.
7. If you do not have a billion or so isk to throw at this, its probably not worth it for you. I may be wrong in this but i would guess that each of the factions will have one or more donations of a billion isk each. Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

So the timeline is as folows
1. CCP implement changes on Sisi making the WH crowd have a fit
2. CCP goes out with a blog explaining the changes... WH crowd still has a fit and tries to dissuade CCP from going through with the changes because they are not the droids they are looking for.
3. CCP turns the changes loose on production server. Large numbers of wormhole dwellers, especially the people in the lower classes start thinking about moving out.
4. Low end WH dwellers start moving out en masse.
5. CCP brainstorms... how do we get people back into WHs? Especially the lower ends which now are pretty much nothing but PI growing grounds?
6. Someone comes up with a brilliant idea. Lets give people a hint of something cool coming Soon (Tm) and in order to get it they need to collect as many sleeper yada yada yada as possible and turn them in... This will make people venture into wormholes, creating pew opportunities for recreational WH divers and then everything will be good again.
7. WH dwellers that moved out and does not want to live in nullsece BS politics cancel their accounts.
8. So lower end wormholes is depopulating. Server population is decreasing as canceled subs run out...
To me this feels more like a kneejerk, a last ditch desperate attempt at getting people back into wormholes before they end up completely empty. |

Just revert the changes and all will be well again!

I've been in Eve for about a year or so and havent commented on anything (though I do read just about every dev blog that comes out).
I finally logged on and just wanted to say that I'm really excited for the turn that Eve is taking and I really like when events like this one (And the gecko one) come about. It really motivates me to give up my social life and live on eve for the week or so that it takes place and I am looking forward to seeing what else CCP comes up with to further ruin my real life friendships.
Though I do have one or two questions in regards to the rewards... Is the reward for this event going to be released to the top earner at the conclusion of the event or will it simply affect the official release (such as oceanus) that it is pushed out on? Furthermore, do we have an rough estimate of the time separation that will exist between the various faction releases?
Anyway, thanks again CCP for the Original Content and these new competitions. You have secured my subscription for quite some time. |

Hope will never die (help CCP Karkur!)

As each faction will receive the new technology eventually, and I would assume that as soon as it is released, that all players will be able to use it, beyond RP value for an unknown item, I don't know if it would be worth it. Now... if I would receive a "Concord Issue Damage Control Unit" per 100 points donated, that may be a little more fun
The funny thing is, if you do something like training into Amarr, then supporting the Federation, you get the situation where you actively sabotage your chances of getting the new technology early, since you're donating to a faction you weren't born in.
Luckily I also like Gallente ships and have heavily skilled into drones, so this should cover all the bases. As long as the other factions don't win, of course. For Freedom and Democracy! |

Guillome Renard is backed up by a few trusted folks, so that's covered. I do like the event CCP is doing, it's a change from the fleet action stuff.
The 5th way people are doing is part of the emergent play that Eve is famous for. Find a new way/route to approach stuff, in this case: Don't support any of the empires as their puppet, but rather choose the 5th way and be a more equal partner in the research rather then be the delivery boy.

What is amusing to me personally is I'm donating to Gallente just for RP reasons, but apparently so many people are donating to Amarr it's close second to Caldari right now. So even if Gallente loses, I don't have to wait long for the new tech on my True Amarr character trained with a lot of Amarr-skills. |

The Numbers can be explained by this: Both Caldari & Amarr have large RP groups who would fully support their related navies to claim dominance in science.
Minmatar do have a large RP presence as well, but for some reason they are far behind. Gallente RP presence has been low for a good time and is indeed reflected in the numbers.
It is also possible that alot of the Gallente/Minmatar RP folks support Guillome Renard effort more Empires seek capsuleer assistance in Sleeper research! -áA selection of upcoming events in the Eden cluster -á |

Who couldn't have seen this result? Basically the faction for the biggest market hub sitters (and second biggest) in the game running away with prize. That and the only pretty face on the list. CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, please give us a persisting-áoff button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals. |

Those numbers aren't so scary as they seem, at first. The Caldari points came at a substantial cost. For those keeping track of the 5th option, I forgot to post here but my total is 11,092pts. That's just from the early adopters. Most of the potential donors to my campaign are waiting to decide if I'm trustworthy or not. I've sent Chribba two messages now, asking him to hold blue loot in escrow for me, to alleviate those concerns, but he's traveling right now.
Meanwhile... Big Things(tm) are afoot, for my campaign. Step one is to beat Gallente and Minmatar, get myself positioned for the bronze, and then we'll see what kind of steam I can build, but getting out of dead last is going to be the real test for this.

If he doesn't follow through with his promises, a number of the RP community are likely to pull together to help fix it one way or another. But given he's dropping legit numbers and is a known name in the community, odds are... pretty good he's legit. Never 100% of course, this is EVE. But pretty good. |

I like this event, but I am not participating as I feel that people able to throw ISk at these items will decide the result. I would have preferred seeing a special sleeper drone added to each sleeper site, and instead of having it go to market, have the kill count tallied for each faction.. It is more involved, bbut would not be an isk race..
Still I like the concept of events like that, and they may very well be targeted to big ISK spenders anyways... "surrender your ego, be free". innuendo.

I'll have updated Independent numbers in a few hours. http://fcftw.eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=662501 |

I can't help but feel that other major contributors to each faction, say the next top 5 or top 10, should receive some lesser recognition for their efforts. Perhaps a PLEX, one of the new factional Field Marshall jackets, or even both.
Will be interesting to see the results. I am rooting for a come-from-behind win for Gallente, but even if not I am curious to see the top rankings in each faction. There was one Calvary bloke who exclaimed "my poor wallet" earlier in this thread ... trust me, I feel your pain.
But sacrifice is worth it if you believe in something ... or like a little competition.

I think that we will have to wait until Monday, when the Devs are around to accept and tally the contracts assigned to the 4 faction representatives. I doubt that they will be working on this over the weekend. My recent contracts to Auvier Bauvon have not yet been accepted, for example. The problem with slavery is that only half of the manacles are visible. The Holder, supposed master, is equally bound by the gilded chains of privilege and wealth.

I don't think that there is a holiday on Monday in Iceland, so we should assume that there will be some update on that day, prior to the finish.

I've run the query for today and updated the numbers in the second post. Looks like the strong start by the Amarr has motivated everyone else!
- Caldari - 168,564
- Amarr - 152,740
- Minmatar - 135,430
- Gallente - 127,683
These estimated numbers include contracts that haven't been accepted yet (since those will need to wait until Monday) so aren't set in stone. And of course we still have ~2.5 days left in this suddenly close race! Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

A good showing by the four empires. The Independent campaign has not been idle, either. We have pledges now from several large wormhole entities and we now have 23 donors.
Our total is 106,505. The new push from Minmatar has spared them the embarassment of being passed by a no-name gunboat pilot from Intaki IV. We're not done yet, though. Not by a long shot.
CCP Fozzie's numbers include contracts not yet accepted, and mine are tentative as well. I'm away from my usual keyboard at the moment, so these numbers are actually from around 20:00 EVE Time, 10/11. I may have new donations by now. Also, I've received 26,000 points worth of donations in the form of ISK. I haven't converted this ISK to blue loot yet, so there's likely a small amount of overestimation in here. On the other hand, I also know that I have at least 6k in donations waiting for me when I get back, if EVEMail is to be believed.
I'll have more accurate numbers on Monday. http://fcftw.eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=662501 |

It hasn't been released as to what the new technology will be yet has it ? It might not be T3 related at all although I suppose as the items required are from Sleeper wrecks the new tech would have to have some connection with wormholes.

Or maybe the new tech will be a new wormhole scanning module...
There don't seem to be any clues in the reports from SOE. They alluded to changed behaviour, but not how the behaviour of sleeper drones has changed. So it's a big open question as to what, precisely, this new tech will be.
Or has there been a noticeable change to capsuleers in wormholes as well?

A well trained capsuleer pilot never has to actually wait.
But yeah, I hope that other contributors to the Gallente cause step forward... but hopefully not too much!

I would say he looked at CCP's numbers published back on page 1, compared it with the numbers of his own effort, lead by independent capsuleers, and did the math.
My, you seem to have shot yourself in the foot, there. Next time maybe make sure CCP really didn't release any information. |

Final Independent Total: 261,832 + 1.27B ISK (+~25,400 pts = 287,232 final tally, all-in) from 39 individual donors.
Once CCP has made their statement, I'm going to make a final, contextualizing post on my thread, with a roadmap for CCP to have better capitalized on my efforts.
ISK or blue loot (donor's choice) will be returned over the next two weeks, smallest donations will be paid back on Monday out of my pocket. The rest of you who did not just want the blue loot back will have to wait it's scattered ALLLLL over New Eden right now and cleanup will take a bit.
I'm seriously impressed with how well we did given the many, many advantages CCP's campaign had over us. I will definitely be pulling stunts like this in the future. http://fcftw.eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=662501 |

By that logic all efforts in this thread are pretty much non-existant, because I'm also pretty sure only maybe a couple dozen or something people per faction donated. Some people are just so space rich they can donate an unbelievable amount of ressources and still be even richer a day later. |

We're going to save the full info for Saturday, but I will reveal that between the four factions, the total collection was:
- 556,166 Neural Network Analyzers
- 610,213 Sleeper Data Libraries
That's 2,997,018 total points, or the equivalent of 149,850,900,000 ISK at NPC buy order price.
Huge congrats to everyone who participated, including all the people who donated to Guillome Renard's excellent 3rd party campaign. I think you will be happy with where this story is leading. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

That's awesome, that's a lot more than I expected, think around 2 million points were donated in the 36 hours leading up to today's down time then. I know you've already spoiled us by giving us those figures, but could you spoil us even further by giving ballpark figures of the contribution of the top donators? |

I'm also interested in the number of people who donated. http://fcftw.eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=662501 |

Sigh... now my 81k points for Gillette seems to have been overwhelmed by the last-minute flood. Assuming that it was from a few individuals rather than a tidal wave of smaller donors.
I'm still curious to see the rankings though, as well as the bigger question of what tech this is leading to. The problem with slavery is that only half of the manacles are visible. The Holder, supposed master, is equally bound by the gilded chains of privilege and wealth. Sorrowful is the state of humanity, which shall never be free until all share equally in Liberty.

Count me in the other category. Much poorer ISK-wise after my donations.

The smart people like me skipped this poorly designed ISK sink and have invested heavilly into T3 products.

Yup we'll update the thread afterwards, and there will be ingame news reports about the winners of the commissions.

out of personal curiosity I crunched some numbers
players used 187,3 plex worth of isk, assuming one plex is 800mil with current prices.
with one plex being 19,99 USD, that would amount to 3744 USD worth of ingame assets donated to the cause. |

Well, I didn't win the Gallente commission, but I'm happy that my contribution was almost 20% of the Gallente total.
Congratulations to all that won a commission... your commitment is breathtaking!

Yes. Well spotted.
The list is correct though. Just checked.
Amarr: Ascentior
Minmatar: Lotrec Emetin
Caldari: TorDog
Gallente: Shipstorm
I'll let Fozzie fill in any further details but wanted to reassure you.

I think it would be good of Guillome Renard do the pirate thing (in roleplay terms) and donate his items to some of the New Eden's outlaw faction so that we can have a pirate Tactical Destroyer (and thus write his name in the EVE history). How cool would it be i there was an Angel Cartel Tactical Destroyer - their pride and joy?

Final results & top donators:
- Independents lead by Guillome Renard - 287.232 Research - 5th place
- Gallente Federation Navy - 435.734 Research - 4th place Top donator & Title granted : Honorary Federal Harbormaster Shipstorm
- Caldari State Navy - 767.014 Research - 3rd place Top donator & Title granted: Honorary Brigadier of Engineers TorDog
- Minmatar Republic Fleet - 857.310 Research - 2nd place Top donator & Title granted: Honorary Fleet Architect Lotrec Emetin
- Amarr Imperial Navy - 936.960 Research - 1st place Top donator & Title granted: Honorary Fabricator General Ascentior
Note, the name of the top donators for Minmatar & Gallente in the Vegas stream got switched, in case someone remarks I made an error.
Also, turns out we were racing to see who gets to release their tech 3 destroyers first! Amarr Victor indeed!

The contest would begin once the empire T3 dessies were known and it could have two categories. One category could be for the appearance of the ship. Give it player touch that the art department could build on (assuming players did manage to make something that could make art department salivate). Second category would be for the ship's particulars. Sure, CCP would have final say on the numbers, but idea here is to get the ship have feeling different from the empire versions, be balanced with them and be useful.
As my old maths teacher used to say: "Statistics are like bikinis: It's what they don't show that's interesting".

Could we get more numbers? Maybe dev-blog and/or news article?
It would be good to know few top donors - I would like to know how well (on bad) I donated comparing to others.
Smile, always! ;)

Yes, that would be interesting too. After the design phase is finished, capsuleers should fund the ship manufacturing and determine who will build the ship - and that may be some faction or even some player alliance. Would be something really new for history.

Still waiting for The Scope to publish the in character lore as a news item promulgating rapid amarrian advances in the creation of groundbreaking technology while their comrades-in-faction-war-arms, the Caldari State, could not accrue enough founding of it's membership corps and thusly falling short on acquiring enough tech from the only other faction in New Eden more pure capitalism driven than themselves. |

Gonna be a bit more annoying here.
Post the goddamn (or god blessed - amarr won after all didn't it?) results as "The Scope" newspost allready. CCP asked us how to make better ingame events, step one FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT. We don't need design details or stuff - but if you wuld at least psot the totals of acquired data and that, as well as leaked materials from across the cluster hints at a new type of destroyer being developed.
Or do I have to formulate the entire thing out on my own word by word? |

While you wait on the offical article, you can check out the publication I wrote on it ( 'The result of the YC116 Sleeper data research race') So at least you don't have to write one out yourself. It's from an ingame view, so it's a nice alternative to the official sources.
From earlier chats/posts with CCP devs it does seem that live events organizers (and ingame article writings?) are a very small team, who have to do alot of it during their spare time, so patience is required.
PS I do agree that publishing the ingame offical news article on the sleeper research race result is getting a bit overdue.

People started asking me if I know when the items will be distributed. I don't. CCP ceased communicating about this event after the main presentation at EVE Vegas [insert apology #0-8/15]. The items have been added to the database though with Phoebe and can be linked when searching for "Honorary". |
