Don't forget that "winter is coming". This is all a prelude to the alien invasion. Don't expect anything more than clues, messages and decipher at the moment. It's still summer here guys ! :)

If SDC killing Kohl really ended this then frankly FD need to stop being so naive and thinking that events developing like this is fun. Emergence can but fun but it isn't inherently fun.

Why has this post been ignored? If the netlogs show that the commander had a french IP then that would be reasonable doubt imo.

This doesn't disprove anything really. The player who has access to the Salome character has been stated to not be an FDev.

I know Photoshop as well as my right hand, and I say that those four images are NOT A FAKE. There's eve the reflex of the CMDR who shot them.

No idea how you are able to do that because I couldn't tell you they're definitely not fake, nobody could from those photos. I'm not convinced they are fake, just that it would be fairly trivial to create something indistinguishable if you wanted, reflection and all.

Thanks for popping up, can you be less cryptic? ;)
Or at least, can you tell us that what is being reported is not fake but intended?
PLEASE, or the thread will explode.

EDIT:
Ah, I understand, obvious obstacles are the death of Kohl?! Shame...

Actually if fdev arent going to use a mechanic across all game modes (ie solo private and open that is accessible to all) and a script with date time and locaiton shouldnt be that hard to do, then having SDC disrupt this whole thing as heck they have a knack for doing so might be the best way forward, so good luck at apadamak SDC im sure Fdev will adjust with a galnet or hand of god move but at least youre keeping the pressure up on frontier to push the boundries and put some effort into these things

I'm sorry Rizal, I give up trying to explain me. Now it looks like I said the message is faked, which is just the opposite to what I was saying. Enough for me.

i give you 10 minutes to make a doctored image that says "hello Raisa, you just won 18 quantillion planetes that you will never explore" in that very same box

SDC are always going to disrupt this sort of thing or someone of the same ilk, its a good sign

A puzzle of identical twins - two identical twin brothers, one who always lies and the other who always tells the truth. I think this maybe can help identify system with single M star. Maybe system with binary planet?

the solution is an Open PVE server. switch off hit registration between players, so they physically can't attack each other. and then spawn your actor-NPCs only in that server. problem solved. (would also solve the problem of a huge percentage of players hiding in Solo or private groups). It's not.. erm.. rocket science, FD ;)

"but that's meta-gaming!! mah immershiion!!"

um, look, our ship systems can already prevent us from flying into "permit" systems. A simple ship upgrade could prevent them firing on other Pilots. It's easy. Then, if you want to shoot each other, jump into the Open PVP server, and the gunblock gets removed.

I love the cognitive dissociation going on here.... but I'm already done. I really hope this isn't how events get done in the future, because I have/had no chance of getting involved.

1. It's a point time reference. Granted, this might just be the start of things, but as I mentioned two hours ago, I was out at dinner. Can't do much about that, and here I am.
2. Open play^ through an RP player? Really? Not FD's fault, but here in Australia, where our Internet is... inadequate... because of the way the instancing in this game works, in a system where there's bound to be dozens of players searching for this guy, my chances of just happening to wind up in that instance are Buckley's and none.

Now, this may just be the start, we bring a bunch of narcotics and other things flow on. But I don't want to spectate. Even though people solved the puzzles already, I still went round them and redid some just to verify. But point-in-time event occurrences plain suck from a game design perspective. Timezones notwithstanding, they're a surefire way to disenfranchise most of your player base. At the very least, make it something that's *reliably* accessible for 24 hours.

^ On the Open Play note, I don't buy into the hate on SDC and all that bunch. It'd be hypocritical given I shipped 200 UAs to Jacques, which is all manner of "griefing" if you ask most people out there. This is a technical issue with the event combined with the way instancing works, pure and simple. I've gone to CGs where I hear all manner of "griefing" going on, and happily walk in and out in a T9 because my rubbish Internet means I don't get instanced with many, if any people.

They probably play in solo so they're not used to what happens when you fly a defenceless ship in a highly advertised location :D
