Yes I can confirm that mining drone amount does count, I have a corpie that has completed them in a Porpoise.

I just had a chuckle at the thought of CCP designing an event for traders.

I just want to say It probably doesn’t matter what the event is, if there is a +12 accelerator for doing it, I am probably going to try it.

Double accelerators ftw!

OK, I’m now back on track with 160 points. I figure I’ll do the first 3 parts of both mining and bounty tasks each time the clock resets which should get me to the finish line with no problem.

I wonder what you’ll receive for SKINs in the final crate.

Yeah, there are 6 possible SKINs it seems. Will the box in the end drop all 6 or just 1? Don’t see that many ppl getting to 300 points.

If it just drops a single SKIN that will really suck (it’s a fair amount of work accumulating 150m+ in bounties every day)…

Good question, the pictures here show Gnosis Battlecruiser ships but the advertisement states:

a ship Skin bundle featuring Red Vs Blue Apotheosis and Sunesis Skin’s

:thinking:

Apotheosis is a Special Edition Shuttle and the Sunesis is a Destroyer. Granted they’re all SoCT ships but a Shuttle skin ?

Maybe a Praxis one as well? If the SoCT ships weren’t so godawful fugly I might get excited about these…

Well, I already have the Shuttle, Destroyer and Battlecruiser, if the skin bundle includes a Battleship skin then I’ll definitely have to get one just to complete the ship collection.

Apparently you’re getting all 3 again sometime before May 6.

Apotheosis, Sunesis, Gnosis

Oh I didn’t read the news properly. Gnosis skins will go to the shop. Sunesis and Apotheosis via event. But still its not clear will it drop 4 skins or just 1. I wouldn’t bother for just 1 tbh. And I don’t even like SocT ships and don’t fly them. Wanted skins for collection.

This event could be very interesting to push players ( especially newbies) to try new things. There could be several ways to earn point in addition of the two already presents :

  • Exploration : hack a can
  • PVP : get a killmail ( or even a lossmail, you have to reward newbies for trying, maybe make lossmails involved with concord irrelevant to avoid mass suicides but keep killmails with concord relevant for real gank pvp)
  • Industry : run x jobs
  • Trade : sell/buy x types of items through a sell/buy order (not the instant transactions but the ones you place yourself on the market).
  • distribution : accept an hauler contract or run a distribution mission.

Cap the amount of points you can do in each category : no one should be able to grind his way in his own field. Therefore no more farming for the farmers but several available lvl 1 ( and lvl 2 and lvl 3) in different fields so you would need to leave your zone of comfort to try them.

I mean : this event almost made me interested in trying mining before realizing it would take hours of grinding. But if more activities were proposed, i would probably try mining before switching ship to try another activity before doing something else i never did before.

Previous event was completely possible to run in WH, one before previous - was too. I spend some time running it and collected some l00t.

So we’re all woking our tails off for a pair of shuttle and destroyer SKINs?!

The mining trigger that we listen for is counting units rather than volume, but in my experience with mining it’s volume that matters. Mining yield is measured in meters cubed per second. This would make it easier for us to make a more generic mining challenge, as well as some specific ore/ice/gas type challenges.

It’s not a completely trivial thing to change, but it’s on our backlog of things we would prefer to use.

Yes. Would be nice. We only just got “loot a thing” as a trigger. This would be next.

At 300 points you get 2 pairs of skins.

One pair for Apotheosis and Sunesis vs blueforce.

One pair for Apotheosis and Sunesis vs redforce.

Now we know.
