Neat! I don't think the devs have been seen flying around Jove ships since like 2004 or something? Gotta love those 8/8/8 ships :)

If anyone here who'se logged in / participating wants to post updates that would be fantastic :)

This doesn't look like an RP event to me.

seems like they have PLEX and NeX items in cargo.

Not sure what to make of that tbh.

Drive down the plex prices by flooding the market?

Edited for a slightly more up to date battle report. Unsurprisingly, PL brought the cap fleet. Guess what happened next?  :s

Pretty much. People are already suggesting that next time they should cynojam the system. I happen to agree.

Do it in an incursion'ed lowsec constellation. Added hilarity due to instalocking gate rats and such.

While I don't think they're so disconnected from the game to not know they were going to get hotdropped, I am speculative as to why they didn't cynoprotect themselves.

I really don't know what to say about this, other then a big loud sigh of disappointment and this:  :bash:

Also wondering why, in response to this, the devs couldn't pull in their own supercaps. Some Aeons here, some Nyxes there, and throw in a few Revenants to boot. Unless, I missed it somewhere that they weren't allowed to use cap ships.  :oops:

Sadly for them PL didn't.

Cyno-jamming the system or fighitng in sansha infected areas might be a requirement for any proper fight agaisnt CCP - after all, if they are reportedly loaded with loot of that grade, few seem willing ot offer a proper 'fight' other than to do what they can to secure victory and the loot.

Apologies for the previous inflamatory post. PL rubs me the absolute wrong way.

They should have waited until 1 Dec and deployed a bunch of Tier 3 Battlecruisers and no Battleships.   Reduce the effectiveness of capital ships and battleships.
