So does this mean that the top contributor will no longer be rewarded with a BPC and being named on the "cornerstone" of the first citadel as orignially stated? |

:) I think that in-game recognition in/on one of the citadels is a more longer-lasting and game-shaping reward than a silly BPC ;) |

Why would they? from the Lore perspective, Upwell operate mostly in Serpentis space and the components were stolen from Upwell. Also, the components are present in ANY ghost site, not just Serpentis ones. Serpentis relic/data sites also spawn in W-Space, Low-sec and High-sec so it is not favouring nullsec dwellers...
Finally, there is nothing stopping you doing sites from another faction to earn ISK and then buy the components on the market. This is potentially the more efficient option given the disparity in exploration site loot value. |

I wouldn't be so sure - there is some evidence that sites respawn somewhere immediately or fairly soon after completed. So a high turnover of sites with everyone finishing all the cans (rather than leaving some stale sites that will sit around for a couple of hours) there is a high site turnover, so a higher spawn rate.
Obviously I have no way to verify this other than anecdotal observations from myself and others.

I would guess oversupply and people losing interest. Not too late to enter the eve-scout PLEX contest for the components though ;) |

Not too late to enter the eve-scout PLEX contest for the components though ;) Signal Cartel best cartel, but still... currently one can buy one's way to top submission with net profit, and your raffle overall would run at a considerable loss compared to just shopping. Are you expecting people will snipe this seconds before midnight on the 8th? I think we will see another submission spike to Upwell next weekend. Exploration takes time, and active play. And I have to say, the prices are tempting. Chances are you will get diddley-squat from Upwell's raffle. I submitted my second batch to Upwell more in the spirit of role-play than reward calculation. I hope we complete at least level 4, so that I get some apparel back for hours of "work"...
Our interest in RCs isn't for us to get the BPCs from the contest - it's our first foray into RP, a way to get our pilots engaging and having fun and a way to engage with the community. Plus, we think that PLEX is a more enticing reward for people ;) |
