Doing a little better have had 3x 25k, but theses are completely out numbered by 10k random event challenges.
Love how many times the 10k skill point challenge randomly comes up, must be loaded dice 1-17 10k, 18-19 25k and roll of 20 50k. Rare as hens teeth the 50k skill point challenge.
Sad thing is to get the one kill requirement i’m killing off complete pirate dens or drone hives, ideal for 50k challenge.
Why do you have to do the whole den ? I just kill the ones I need to for my skill-points, and leave the rest for someone else.
Yet, I have only got the 50k SP mission for once, 2 times 25k SP, and for more than a week yet only these ridiculous 10k SP missions.
Oh noes a fair spread, what villiany!
As stated elsewhere, a ne alpha clone is penalized doing this event, because the SP gained will stack for the cap of 5MILS. In other words, in the long run your SP are useless, lost, vaporized.
So, if you designed the event to promote the game among new players, well, you did it the wrong way.
The sane way would have been: take the SP, use them whenever you want, if you use them right now they will limit your 5mils CAP accordingly, otherwise you are free to use them AFTER the 5mils CAP, so you can go further the 5 mils CAP (just bet what a new alpha would do).
So simple: be a real alpha to understand new players.
As far as I know it works just like that, unallocated SP does not count towards your 5 mil Alpha SP limit, only spent (trained) SP counts, so Alphas can actually do as you describe and hold onto their unallocated SPs and spend them after they reached the 5 mil barrier, but someone correct me if this is not how it works.
If that is how it works or aside of that: It is another question whether Alphas know or have the foresight about this, not sure if that is what you wanted to communicate instead.
Unallocated SP does count against that 5m actually. Its so you cant skill inject infinite SP then allocate it.
If Alpha character has 5 mill SP’s or more, any unallocated SP’s in the character sheet can’t be injected due to the SP cap on Alpha Clones. The only way to get higher amount of SP’s on Alpha Clone is to buy CCP’s Alpha Injectors which will raise the SP cap up to 20 mill SP’s.
However, Alpha accounts can still gather up all the extra SP’s available in-game and just let them sit in character sheet as unallocated SP’s which can be used when they sub as Omega Clone.
I currently have an Alpha Clone with 320k unallocated SP’s sitting in character sheet and can’t inject any of those SP’s due to having max amount of Alpha SP’s already trained.
Ive been able to inject the SP on my alpha, hes at over 5.4M atm and used no injectors.
Make up your mind, first you say it can’t and now you say it can.
Doesn’t matter, like I already posted, I have an Alpha character who already has max amount of Alpha SP’s trained and can’t inject any of the 320k unallocated SP’s still sitting in the character sheet.
Let me clarify, if your at 2.5M and get 100k SP and its unallocated your now at 2.6k, even though its unallocated. If your at 5M and get 100k you can allocate it. So the SP rewards you get will count aganist the 5M in terms of free training time.
never go full retard…
Omegas are the real Alphas here, dawg
Might as well get the loot, bounty and salvage while there!
Make more worthwhile than just the 10k SP and a single NPC bounty.
Ha! “It’s 3am, you have a couple hours to read this and log in for your event fix!” Yeah, I think I would consider that ‘getting trolled by support’.
Hopefully it was the result of a poorly trained, overly tired, or simply incompetent GM and not actual malice on the part of CCP/support for people actually filing tickets to report event bugs.
For me at least the event has worked out okay so far. A little extra something to do each day, a little extra SP to show for it. Nothing major but better than the eye-straining, buggy, useless, unrewarding and unfun events they have been running lately.
Yeah, I’ve noticed some peops leaving sites partially done (either because I warp in and there’s yellow wrecks or I finish a hideaway by killing just 2 or 3 rats… clearly someone had started it over 2 hours in the case that there’s no wrecks to hint at what’s going on).
I’m fine with others doing it, but it does mean less rats in the site for the next guy (who if he has 10s and 5s to complete might have to hit multiple sites anyway depending on how many toons he’s doing), and it means you’re costing yourself the chance of a faction spawn or an escalation.
I’ve run about 10 DED3/DED4 escalations from running Hideaways/Refuges/Dens in Guri/Sansha/Blood space so far in this skillpoint event and while I’ve gotten some decent deadspace loot (ranging from 20 mil to 100 mil, mostly reppers and remote reppers, no invulns yet)…
One of my newbiest newb toons (~4 mil SP about now including all the free SP) got a 188 mil ISK True Sansha web drop two nights ago in a t1 destroyer. Freakin’ win! from a faction spawn at the end of a mere Sansha Hideaway after less than 1 minute of work…
So yeah, do yourselves a favor, guys, and finish that Hideaway or Refuge or Den, don’t leave the epic loot for the next guy.
Tsk now they’ll all want one.
Took a bit of a break from posting my updates here since the above one on 20190729 but after hitting 20 straight days yesterday, figured I’d put in a MEGA UPDATE here. Won’t update again until after the event is over (as that’s coming up in a week or so this month now, I believe):

Personal totals and %ages so far:
11x50k 38x25k 131x10k (6.1% 50k (up from 3.7%!) / 21.1% 25k (just a bit down)/ 72.8% 10k (down from 74.1%!))
Well, there’s been a lot of boring ol’ 9x10k days for me, but there’s also been some awesome days such as just yesterday with 2x50k and 2x25k! And before that, the 2x50k 4x25k merely 3x10k day (last Friday) was also pretty damned good. Me likey!
My main main (1a) is still way behind all the rest in terms of anything other than 10k days, but at least she got a couple 25ks starting on AUGUST 7TH (wow, what a wait!)… still not a single 50k, though!.. then again, she’s got the most total SP (nearly 140 mil), so… eh! 1st world omega problems for sure.
My first alt, my 2nd main (2a) has an impressive 7 days of 25k but also not a single 50k. The other 7 toons all have had at least one day if not 2 or 3 days of 50k except one… (2b in the above data)… I’ll be waiting to see if 2b’s luck improves at all in the coming week or so. Fingers crossed!
I am genuinely following your statisticals with interest.
It just reminded me of this just a little;
I’ve seen a fair bit of Red Dwarf and haven’t seen that ep, good stuff.
We’re (me and the 2 or 3 others who’ve posted their own stats at one point or another in here) just trying to get down to the bottom of the… “are all toons gonna end up with about the same 50ks, 25ks, and 10ks if they do this grind every single day… or are various toons gonna end up with massively different luck by the end of this shebang?” question for fun. I’d be keeping track of this ■■■■ for my own edification whether there were others interested in sharing it or not. The amount of text files and spreadsheets I have about various EVE-related things… oy.
It ain’t over yet, but it would appear my numbers contradict all the early talk of “eh, there’s x amount of 50k, y amount of 25k, and z amount of 10k for every single toon, just make sure you don’t miss any days, it’ll all be fiiiiine.” upthread.
Clearly, this is truly a RNGesus-run event/SP giveaway/call it what you will and not a pre-determined, pre-destined day by day same-total-#-of-SP gift like May and July were. SO!.. consider yourself lucky if you get more than ~20% 25k/50k and less than ~80% 10k, folks, RNGesus has smiled down upon you from his perch on high where he hangs out with the Loot Fairy and Bob cackling at us capsuleers scrabbling around for their leavings.
