Nobody seems to have put this up yet, so here it is: http://community.eveonline.com/news/newsFromEve.asp?of=true&newsTitle=minmatar-tribal-council-to-begin-february-14th-tribal-reps-to-make-historic-convoy-to-matar

I can only hope they have one hell of an argument 

[Sepherim]

Of all the plots, probably this is the one I find most interesting, together with the Caldari one. Two different sides of the same coin, I look forward to see how this goes.

[BloodBird]

We came, guarded, saw, overheard a short conversation and fireworks, and little else happened, beyond the would-be gankers complaining about actor immortality. No real battles or anything AFAIK, but it was only the start.

Much more can and likely will come of this, and it will be interesting to see how this goes, especially as the Nefantar delegate seems to be rather the religious type.

Let us see what goes down next.

\o/ I'm sure the ACS will support them in substantiating the Nefantar claims to their ancestral lands. Amarrian record-keeping is such a great thing!

Minmatar Arc

I wouldn't call it an arc so much as a bend with rusty, razor-sharp protrusions.

[Akrasjel Lanate]

And we had Shakor him self in public 

[Laerise [PIE]]

Yeah, right "QA Shield Extender" fits, well done ccp 

The minmatar RP'ers get a victory handed to them, once again, really now CCP, well done.

Let me guess, if there should be an amarr delegation at some point in the future it'll fly untanked impairors...

[lallara zhuul]

Nah, shield tanked Mallers à la Theodicy.

[Katrina Oniseki]

I have to admit, I was laughing hysterically when I found out CCP god-modded the fits. Partly because it was very un-sandboxy, but mostly because of how many people were complaining.

Then again, I was kind of hoping they would.

You were not the only angry one.  I woke up to a jabber ping:

DEM CCP RP TEMPEST TRIBALS WAS INVULNERABLE   Aside from not hitting crap, these guys were in fact fitted with stupid-strong QA Shield Extenders.  http://i.imgur.com/wPp3387.jpg  (1 million HP per extender) 

I was pretty furious, others were as well.

Falcon just said that they won't use them again. Which is a good thing. EVE is a sandbox; regardless of if it's RPers or Goons doing it, player actions should be able to have effect. There are much better ways to continue the storyline than railroading through invincible plot NPCs.

I don't think there is.

Actually I think that CCP knows that there isn't.

Lets go with a hypothetical here.

A capsuleer kills a head of state of any nation that is part of the CONCORD who is not a capsuleer and that head of state gets deaded for good.

That nation pulls its support for the freedom and the unique status for capsuleers through CONCORD.

Capsuleers are nothing short of terrorists.
(Everyone already knows that.)

Clone contracts get pulled out, capsuleers get hunted to extinction by faction capsuleers that still have their clone contracts.

Double zero alliances die out because they do not have the technology to create pods.

EVE 2.0 comes out where all the players are just mission runners and market manipulators.

I think that CCP does not want to go down that road, yet.

This just means that, once again, the minmatar got the big invulnerable event, while everyone else will be shafted. Nothing unusual though if we just remember the STILL UNRESOLVED attack by the minis on Concord!

The head of state could have used a body double. He could have survived on an escape pod. He could have traveled on an escort ship, while the big fancy ship was actually a decoy. He could travel in a covert ops ship.

There are many ways to avoid the death of a major actor NPC, whether they are a capsuleer or not, without simply making them invincible. Actor NPCs don't have to be stupid. They can expect ganking, and plan around it.
