wait, so if im thinking right the BPO's are blue print originals...so the BPC's are Blue Print Copies....whats the difference in copies than some of the gear we run now like regular dropsuits....The BPO's are the dropsuits that never deplete, like the Raven and Dragonfly...correct? So if the BPC's are consumable, what makes them different than the regular suits we have to purchase and restock?

Correct about BPOs and BPCs ... they are a bit of an iffy translation from Eve where blueprints are used to manufacture items ... a bpo you can manufacture an infinite number but a bpc has a limited run ... after say 100 items have been made the bpc is exhausted and disappears.

Translated into DUST this means BPO items like the MAG and Skinweave suits and the AURUM bought militia modules are all infinite use and will never expire no matter how many times you die ... BPC items are the ones you have to replace every time you die.

The use of the terms is justified by the fact that everything you use in DUST has to be manufactured (eventually by Eve players and at some point we too will have manufacture abilities) so a BPO item is a blueprint to make as many as you want whereas a BPC item you are buying the quantity already manufactured for you at the moment.

If your on the same team as these agents and none are on the opposite team how will we get the suits if the event requires us to kill one Edit Nevermind this should be interesting...what do we get for helping them? Lol
Jack Boost Zarena Family 194	Posted - 2012.12.06 08:30:00 - [2] - Quote Just use your LAV on agnet ... to help :) That will be interesting .. if everybody help agent. And more interesting if we capture him, and get some ransom from CCP (in 'fixing bug' currency)

CCP Cmdr Wang C C P C C P Alliance 1876	Posted - 2012.12.06 08:35:00 - [3] - Quote Everyone who participates will get 25 BPCs of the special edition Quafe dropsuit.

Vexen Krios Doomheim 95	Posted - 2012.12.06 10:29:00 - [5] - Quote Lol that makes me wonder as well....and the original announcement said 50,of the dropsuit ....nd what's BPC I don't know all the lingo...thanks in advanced

Essentially it means that it can be used limited number of times (25 in our case).

And what about the 75% of players who don't use that class that is on offer. At a guess the suit is going to be Assault, so what of everyone else who runs Logi, Scout or Heavy :( ? H.D

Essentially it means that it can be used limited number of times (25 in our case). I think it means Blue Print Consumable hence a usable quantity, die in this 25 times and you no longer have that item to use. ! Like items in the Merc pack which were consumable. H.D
Yagihige Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 174	Posted - 2012.12.06 11:20:00 - [9] - Quote I'd like if the Quafe Agents were able to stay in revive mode for a longer period than usual and if the enemy didn't have the ability to permanently kill them. That would make for fiercer battles in trying to keep him alive or kill him.

Nstomper Th3-ReSiStAnCe-SEC.0 205	Posted - 2012.12.06 13:14:00 - [14] - Quote seems to me like CCP Cmdr Wang will be one agent and the other CCP Frame
Aeon Amadi Maverick Conflict Solutions 1003	Posted - 2012.12.06 13:21:00 - [15] - Quote Better question(s): A.) Will we even be able to get into a match, or will this be like a "dev hunt" event where only the lucky 12 who hit the button first get in? B.) Are Mercenary contracts single player applicable or is it solely for squads/corporations - I.E Faction Warfare contracts? C.) What guarantee is there for players who are unable to participate for 'x' reason? Suggestion: If you log on that day - get the freaggin BPCs. Seriously, a three day event that requires a CCP Dev to be on is going to -SUCK-. It's just going to be a mad rush to the contract board and spamming the 'join battle' button.

This is going to be hell , tbh I don't think I'm going to bother really. One match every couple hours that only a few people can join and will be spamming like crazy, no thanks.

Considering we already downloaded the maps last week, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Though the update is expected this month, I won't get excited until CCP makes an announcement.

Ydubbs81 RND Ahrendee Mercenaries Legacy Rising 886	Posted - 2012.12.06 15:38:00 - [21] - Quote Isn't anyone the least bit curious about the stats of the Quafe dropsuits?? If they're limited use, then they must be somewhat special. Better than proto? Equal to proto? 5 highpowered slots? 2 grenade slots? More cpus? Faster sprint and movement speed??

I'm betting on militia with ridiculous coloring. But why limited then? We only get 25 copies. They've already given us 2 types of militia BPO (unlimited) dropsuits. I'm guessing, if it is militia, then it would be a BPO instead of a BPC

Limited means worth more because we are a people who have been raised to consume, consume consume consume even when it makes no sense. Did you not see black friday?

H.D It's most likely going to be assault. CCP shows no love toward the heavies Or any other suit

RolyatDerTeufel D3ath D3alers RISE of LEGION 1648	Posted - 2012.12.06 18:19:00 - [30] - Quote would be awesome to get the suit you have most skills for, since they are gonna log all characters that take part they could see our dropsuit command skills pretty easy. But I prefer a Quafe Scout. I still can't get away from the scout suits even this build.
