Garp said:Ascendant Frontier was the first to build one of the all new Platforms in Eve:Online, a massive operation setting us back a whopping 28 billion isk. This station is the first of its kind and involved a massive operation to shift 4.3M m3 worth of goods from Empire to the platform location, which also required 7 Freighter trips all in less then 24 hours to complete this project. Freighters are big, unwieldy and have no way to defend themselves. As ASCN is still at war with the Mercenary Coalition, this required heavy escorts over what would take a single player 40 minutes to negotiate, but takes considerably longer as a group. STK Scientific, the corporation I'm a member of provided the freighterfor the trip, one of only a handful currently in the game (they cost a fair few billion themselves), and also provided pilots to defend the region of space whilst the platform was being built. This whole event was deliberately unannounced, not even to the alliance members themselves, until it was actually taking place, so as to avoid information getting leaked out through alliance spies, given the huge logistical nightmare involved in shifting that much stuff down out of empire space into the lawless 0.0 space, it is a remarkable achievement. At one stage whilst I was flying on guard duty we had 30 odd ASCN players in the same system as the platform and a further 30 odd flying guard duty in the surrounding systems, with many many more watching the route down from empire to our space in an effort to provide us with an early warning of any invasion.
Anyway.. enough blurb, on with the pictures. Platform during construction phase, a pretty egg that is barely the size of a battleship:
Which becomes (after DownTime) an actual station, complete with clone station, refinery, factory etc. Oh, and strip joint, brothel and quafe bar.
Feek, in his large battleship (Gallente Megathron), seems to be distracted by one of the signs at the station..
