To encourage their safe return, ORE has added special limited time offers to the ORE Loyalty Point stores within their stations in Outer Ring. ORE Research Data Fragments can be found within all of the Gala combat and hacking sites (they are most common in the hacking sites).According to reports from CONCORD, there are roughly 50 kidnapped researchers still unaccounted for. To ensure their safe return, ORE has placed buy orders on the Outer Ring regional market for 1 billion ISK per researcher. Kidnapped ORE Researchers can be rarely looted from the VIP Guardian's Gala combat sites in Wormhole space and the Serpentis/Angel home constellations.Loot available from the Gala includes overseer's effects, special event SKINs, fireworks, combat boosters, cerebral accelerators, Angel and Serpentis faction modules, and more!.Rewards include new SKINs, up to 230k skillpoints, and new limited time combat boosters. Until February 22nd a special set of Guardian's Gala login rewards will be available for logging in each day.New LandmarksĪs part of the Gala storyline, new permanent landmark sites can be found in the 4C-B7X and D-Q04X systems, and special temporary landmark sites can be found in YZ-LQL and Utopia. Overcoming the enemies in these combat sites is easier with friends, and small groups of smaller ships may also be successful. If you bring a battleship sized vessel, make sure you have a plan for dealing with small enemies. To defeat the Gala combat sites solo, capsuleers are advised to fly a well-defended Battlecruiser, Battleship, Heavy Assault Cruiser, Strategic Cruiser, Command Ship, or Marauder. ORE has requested that capsuleers help them recover their missing researchers and data fragments, and they are offering to handsomely reward anyone who assists them. The Angel Cartel and Serpentis have attacked a secret ORE development facility in Outer Ring and escaped with kidnapped scientists and valuable research concerning ORE's development of new compression technology. This year, the revelry has reached new heights.
