Dear CCP, those clothes are hideous.

You keep changing colors on the same crappy old clothes.
Could you please take few hours to design something a bit more sophisticated?

Is there any word on the new station component blueprints, which we were promised would be released prior to the release of citadels?
I know they are only for use (at the last stats) for the new XL's, but since it's a couple of months of research needed it would be nice to get these researched before they come out.

I think CCP might have increased the Serpentis spawn rates. With explorer traffic this dense, it should be really difficult to find something. It isn't. I haven't tried, but it might even be viable to just camp in a Gallente system, and wait for new sites to pop up.

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.

Prices for the Components have now slipped from last weeks 7.4million each to 2.5million today, does the mean there's now too many of them or that nobody is that interested in the promotion? |

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

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"... |

Agreed, but will the components be worth anything after the draw? Will they continue to be worth something to help produce the Citadels after the launch? |

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 ;) |

Less than a week to go, I'm wondering how many RCs have been submitted in total. Any chance CCP can release this? |

Well if you look at the rings on the main site as they've filled up, it's a very exact science
Going by the progress on the first two days the competition would have been over by last weekend, now it's slowed down even though RCs are a third of the price!
I'm just hoping the accuracy of the draw and the submissions is a little more accurate... |

It would be nice to see a "top ten" of submissions, plus a running total. Though it may be too depressing to look at that, if I am honest. I expect submissions from whoever is the "middle man" of the big alliances to be in the thousands. If you see something like that, would you still fly around for hours exploring to get a few dozen (or for that matter, would you still invest ISK into buying)?
The fun bit is that by not telling us the numbers and also not what the rings represent in real RC numbers, CCP is completely free to run and end the competition any way they want. The assumption that every completed ring represents the same fixed number of RCs is natural, but not at all certain. Maybe CCP said "let's put the first ring at hundred thousand, and then adjust the next number up or down according to how fast it gets filled."
If they are fiddling with the numbers as they go, they may well try to create a "dramatic" ending: Basically, do your best estimate what will be the final number, add 5%, and then let that determine the ring number - people will feel the pressure of "completing the last ring". |

How long are my contracts gonna stay open? I've issued three to Lee Brinalle so far, but none are accepted yet. What's up? |

Well, it took a few hours for mine to be accepted last weekend. (I don't actually know how long precisely, they were still open when I stopped playing, and when I next logged in they were accepted.)
Somewhat surprisingly (i.e., WTF, you cannot be serious?!), "Lee Brinalle" does not seem to be an automated script dealing with incoming orders instantly. Instead, I now expect that some CCP PA is pressing "accept" buttons and copy & pasting the info into an Excel sheet.

It has been very interesting to watch the volume of isk poured out into the market to buy the Research Components: Players have decided what the remote chance to win something is "worth." Huge numbers of units traded. |

I'm quite surprised by the results and pretty much about everything related to that event.
Could a dev take time to explain what happened exactly with fascinating graphs and excels sheets?
Did the biggest contributor sell his titans fleet to buy research components?
In the name of the Monocle Clubhouse, those unbelievable results started a dark fire of absolute madness and there will be consequences IRL and ONLINE.

We, The Monocle Clubhouse, have spoken.
This so called "lottery" by is nothing more than a display of corruption in the highest of levels.
Upwell Consortium have abused our trust and as El Space Mariachi has clearly stated, this act of aggression will not be tolerated.
I would also like to echo Aram Kachaturian's request for some transparency in these proceedings.

In general I like how many events have happened in the past couple of months since I started playing the game. They provide content by inviting you play the game a bit differently for a given time. Specifically about the Research Component Event I liked that it had some storyline connection to the Frostline Site Event and it gave the impression that players can actually "help build" the first Citadel.
But, here is what I think could have worked out better:
1. As other people noted already: it would have been nice if there had been an opportunity for Industrialists/Researchers to participate in their way. Let the Explorers find the Components, let Researchers reverse-engineer (event-only) BPCs from said Components and let Industrialists produce small parts of the Citadel.
2. Make it more present from the very beginning, or possibly before that, that you're only going to able to grind Research Components in specific Regions of the Everse. If you're based in one of those regions, you're going to have a massive advantage. Give others a week of time to get their ass over.
3. If Explorer-focussed: make finding the Research Components Character-bound. As in: you can't buy or sell them, you can't trade them to anyone other than Upwell. Or: give one "point" for finding them and another for trading them to Upwell.
4. The way the Event has worked, for one time and one time only Exploring became actually a team effort (that or paying a lot of ISK for buying loads of Components): have enough people (say in a huge Alliance) working together and you'll get much better chances of winning the price for delivering most Components. While in general that isn't a bad thing at all, Exploring isn't really a team effort at any other time (apart from higher level sleeper sites). So maybe do that more generally: make Exploration more profitable as a team thing.
5. Everyone who decided to play the Event and not sell their Components knew it from the beginning: other than a small chance to win a BPC there is nothing you'll personally get from grinding sites. Well, a T-shirt, if enough others decide to give a (edit:) fork. I think for the whole dynamic it would have been better if you could either a) sell the Components to Upwell for a fixed price or b) get a small amount of something special for doing the sites. Because otherwise all that happens is that people are reminded how stupidly bad time-for-ISK data sites are.
6. Be more transparent about stuff. As noted, announce things that give certain players a big advantage beforehand so others can adapt. Also, make the numbers for each round public, don't hide them in circles.
(And no, I don't want a recount or anything, even though I like monocles.) |

It's not my place to actually post the numbers not being the organiser, but the top contribution was an organised exploration & live event group pooling resources and doing a concerted drive. I imagine second place was another similar group based off how many I am aware they contributed, though there was room for other groups between the two. So it's a bit misleading when there is only a single pilots name on it all, but because it was run as an individual pilot thing that's the way official recognition has to go. |
