Capital Ship Built:

Rivenport Commission Guild with the help of U F O Guild on Andromeda Galaxy becomes the second guild to ever complete the task. It takes many hours and lots of in game credits to complete, as well as lots of help along the way. Hats off to all who helped and let's look forward to tomorrows events! Several months went into the planning for getting this event off the ground.

This was an open event in that it had to be completed all in one go or someone else could complete it. It is at this time an incomplete event in that there is no reward other then having done it. It took lots of interest in completing the task for it to happen and those who have tried and failed no what it takes. As we move into the future, Rivenport Commission Guild and U F O Guild go into the books as having completed this task. To the future!

See pictures here and the builders here. Below you will find a copy of the offical posting on the forums making note of the event.

Subject: Capital Ship launches again!

Rivenport Commission Guild (Andromeda Galaxy) launches ship #2! Thanks to the support of U F O and many hours of work by guild members. As stated before, this is a very costly undertaking and requires a lot of help to complete... it still isn't much of an event to see, but it is something to do that's different. It is important to note that this is not our first try, for some reason the ship can be destroyed and EA/Devs/GMs haven't been able to answer if this is by design or not.

I'd like to point out a few things if anyone happens to pass by the shipyard and a group of people are doing this event - there is no loot in the ship, it gets you no faction and it's really not funny to destroy it. This was the third attempt at completing the ship, the first meet a server reboot and the second the wrong end of a Zet... now the task is complete!

Since this event just completed after many hours, pictures are still coming in and the best ones are being collected. A reply to this message will be made that will include those that tell the story the best. Thanks again to all that have helped these past months and mostly to those that were there at the end for the cleanup. Thanks again Aramite, Muther, Princess, Bubukittyje, Kassy (others that I know I missed) from U F O for their time.
