> [@Grand prix](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/grand-prix/82369/38): > > You can skip a target, by waiting out the timer. you do not skip it if it goes away by itself. I started the event with a character, only getting the HS in an inty; Then realized I could use a yacht to go in null sec and avoid SB. Then I realized I should not care about my ship and use throwaway shuttles. Considering I would lose a lot, I also add in an alt. basically took me 7 h to raise from 0 to gold package (two characters) And in the end, this event is completely stupid. you make 20+ jumps to get podded at the last of them. I swear I had 6 times the destination of ienakkamon, I took 6 different routes, I failed each time and had to suicide myself (usually by running in a SB). the thing is : what else could I do ? I need to WAIT FOR 20 ■■■■■■■ MINUTES. Can as well give it a try. It cost me only 30 shuttles per toon + 7H for two toons (actually more since I started the second one later), and after trying in inty/yacht I realized that I took as long going and coming back in inty than going and suiciding in shuttle. Whoever designed this : having to wait 20MINUTES FFS ARE YOU DUMB ? This is the OPPOSITE of fun, of interesting, or challenging. “you either die and lose nothing but your time or do nothing and lose your time”. ---

Wow, didn’t know there was another Event happening. Guess I should check into the game more often when I’m binge watching Sci-Fi flicks. So this Event is made to get people podded? Doesn’t sound like a good event. From this thread it seems like the rewards are ok, I should probably read up on it. ---

This is a stupid time sink, no skill required, just run from Lumi to a destination, get points, repeat. You can continue watching movies while doing it. ---

Well, according to this thread it seems there’s a bunch of disco gank ships waiting for players. I’d rather be in a ship capable of handling that threat than in a ship that’s easily destroyed. Or maybe just run it in stealth mode. ---

> [@Grand prix](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/grand-prix/82369/47): > > Why, is the time constraint to complete each phase very small? you can do all of them in shuttles, with 1min-5min remaining . the 5 min is for distant jumps, and they are needed if you want to avoid SB. What you can do is buy a few shuttles, bring them the station close to the event, put your death clone here, and then suicide jump after a travel. AFAIK you also can do them in inty, a yacht safely. ---

let’s consider this : 5AU/s with insta align is just enough. 3AU/s with 5s align seems to me just worse. plus you can’t self destruct after a run, meaning you need to come back. ---

I used a Hecate with three inertial stabs in propulsion mode to get through all the low-sec races. Wtih an align time of just over 1.1s and EHP of 12k it did the trick. Not quite as fast as an interceptor but infinitely more tanky. I was actually more at risk from Federation and Minmatar police for having a -6 security standing. Just ensure you warp to 100km for the Grand Prix start and any of the race destinations to avoid smart-bombing idiots. ---

Well, another aspect of EVE that’s denied to OSX users. With the memory leak issue under Wine you are guaranteed to crash at least **once per race** due the multiple gate jump requirement - so good luck trying to complete any of these races in time. **-1 out of 10.** Thanks for nothing CCP.
