Interesting.
See, maybe I'm just having delusions of grandeur but I see this as something completely different.
1) Clones must be destroyed, not killed.
Does this also mean that we may see additional warpoint rewards in the future for destroying clones instead of just incapacitating them? I'd love that. A sort of 'Confirmed Kill' bonus.
2) Event exclusive BPO
Even more interesting considering that there is a strong drive to roll out SKIN modules in the future. I assume that this will also be tied into the unanswered question as to what will happen to BPOs in the eventuality that SKIN modules are released. Further more... an event exclusive BPO would have to be broad-spectrum and apply to everyone. Releasing yet another Caldari Assault doesn't apply to the majority of players. So my theory is.....
3) 1000 Warbarge components
.... that it's a Warbarge skin.
4) Also, props to not including -more- SP rewards when we don't even have enough skills in game to make skill points meaningful for anything other than cross specialization at this point.

Now that you mention it, this does off-handedly further insinuate less Logistics action. Maybe we need an event called The Million Lazarus challenge where we get a bunch of ISK from corporations for saving them 15% or more on clone insurance.

Five million would be nothing for SP rewards but without revealing the BPO (which I still strongly suspect is a Warbarge BPO which will likely aggravate a lot of players expecting something they can physically use) likely not going to see as much participation.
Although, the question shouldn't be "Can the community kill 5,000,000 clones?", it should be, "What do we give them if they don't?"

Would that not be named a skin or something. I always saw a BPO as an asset in battle you could not lose. A war barge has no presence in battle so i donGÇÖt think an appearance change in the sprite would be called a BPO. This might get a bit linguistical but hey.. I rather think i will be something everybody can use like an APEX type thing or a LAV.
That's just the thing though, a BPO isn't something everyone can use. Sure, an LAV might arguably be something nice for everyone to have but we've got plenty of the damn things already. APEX suits, Dropsuit BPOs, and Weapon BPOs don't apply to a majority, let alone everyone, so you have to think:
What single item could be good enough to warrant an event this size as well as apply to most amount of players without having to invest a bunch of SP?
And the only thing I can think of is the one item that doesn't require any SP at all that everyone already has.

Would never happen if CCP honestly cares about balance. Especially not with a complete reform of HAVs on the horizon.
