my only question is if i cap out on the 3rd and then cap out on triple sp week since i have active booster on, can someone tell me if my math is off? (190,400 x 1.5) + ((190,400 x 3) x1.5) = ?, just want to make sure i got my math right Big smile

Your math is wrong because Cmdr Wang has specifically stated that your cap does not reset on Thursday.

So you hit 190,400 on 3rd, then can get a further (190,400 x 2) between 4th-10th. Your total active SP will be 571,200 regardless of the days that you play. (if you have an active booster this goes to 856,800 SP).

The reason it makes sense not to bother playing on Wednesday is that it'll take you the nomal play time of about 12 hours to cap out on Wednesday, and then 'only' 8 hours to cap out again between 4th-10th. A total of 20 hours for the week.

Whereas if you wait until Thursday 4th, then you can cap out in the same 12hrs for the same SP.

tldr: save your time and play from Thursday.

I hope someone with influence at CCP takes note here and realises that starting events on different days to SP cap resets just leads to problems and confusion.

I really expect more from you guys Is actually not that hard to track ...: 5 kills per battle = 20 battles for 100 kills. 5 hacks per battle = 20 battles for 100 hacks 5 kill assist per battle = 20 battles ..... So i say that is an average of 20 battles to get all that things, for most people... alot lest for some people.

It's not clear is that time is midnight at the start of the day or the end. It would really help for clarity if you used 00:01 or 23:59 (even if you actually use 00:00).

Didn't say anything about passive omega, but if you had this as well then passive earning would be doubled independently from the event. Clear? There has never been an omega active booster; only a passive one. More clearness then, (quote) ...if we only had the Omega boosters (grammar lesson: PLURAL) available on the market...that would be 6x instead of a 4,5x... Also, check variations on boosters (tap triangle for info and R2) you'll find the 7 days active omega, yet to be released.

More likely some corps will plan a CB with a friendly corp and not kill each other, theyll just have people at a point and hack it over and over with hack modules to get as many hacks per game as possible.

Mordu's Legion is paying attention to your public performance, since you guys are stealing all the merc contracts from them. They're not really concerned about your fights over planets they don't have interest in! We'll definitely take your feedback on the days into consideration, but presently we run Thursday-Thursday because the SP gain change requires a deployment, which we currently do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's possible we can get special deployments for future events, though.

Boosting everyone's passive SP gain does little to negate the difference between those who participate in the event and those who don't. The same goes for any argument boosting everyone in order to let some ppl catch hardcore grinders. Grinders gain always the same bonuses so there's no catch-up.

That is exactly to logic how SP gains are (barring any bugs) going to work. Also, I totally agree on the suggestion in the end.

You're probably referring to Mercenary Holocon event https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=709847#post709847 which lasted from Wed April 24th to Thu May 2nd. It was a week long event, HOWEVER there was a normal cap reset on Wed May 1st which resulted in 1 day of triple SP gains before the gains were removed. So there was a 24h grind to gain weeks trip SP. But is was a part of an 8-day event. (Another HEAVY reason to have events like this run Wed-Wed or whatever the reset day will be.) --- And because of that I remember very clearly that Holocon Events SP gains: AFTER hitting the cap were exactly as Mr RKKR described.
