Edited by: myrtarous on 20/11/2009 09:28:12Better Shield properties than Draclira's PDS (tradeoff: less cap). Rock this thing out on your Lev or hahahaha supercarrier Drac shown for comparison. Please visit your user settings to re-enable images.http://www.tog-corp.com/kb/?a=invtype&id=15439, It's also listed in the EFT database. The module is linked in-gamem in my bio where you can showinfo on it. It's the only one on TQ as there's no other information about it, and dear Entity had neither heard of it nor put it in his list until we showed it to him. Winning bid will be fulfilled by private contract. - Starting/minimum bid: 20b - Minimum bid increment: .5b - Closing date and time: 0500utc Nov 27 - Reserve price: [Hidden] - Sniper Rule: discretionary - Item Location: Imih, Kor-Azor If the top bidders fall through again, this thing will go idle indefinitely with my account. Papa needs a plex. Happy bidding |

A little background: This drop was the result of two compounding "undocumented features" plus good luck on at least three extremely low-probability ship/item spawns coming together at once.
Three petitions and two bug reports were opened in relation to this mess; I don't particularly expect this to ever happen again, whether the issues get resolved or not. It's impossible for me to replicate, that's absolutely certain.
I got it legitimately, but it killed a basilisk, cerberus, rokh, and muninn (all rigged) along the way. If this doesn't meet reserve by mid-month, this little guy is going on one of our Levs for the best post-Dominion shield tank on all of TQ.
Happy bidding |

Edited by: Entity on 05/10/2009 15:49:13 I can only assume our deal is off then.
Thank you for not informing me.
Edit: correction there. I heard of it. Just didn't think they dropped until last patch. |

I know someone talked to you (one of the goons that was along for the ride). If he tried to set up a deal with you, I apologize, he told me you only made an offer for it. Goons aren't the most acute creatures, and that guy isn't known as the most keen among us. I appreciate your having taken the time to chat with him, sorry for any miscommunication that resulted. I did contract you the tag at the price he said you offered, in Highsec. If you want to discuss this thing, PH or convo myrtarous and check for the director title to make sure it's me. |

Search contracts for module item exchange over 10bil, it's currently listed at the buyout price. Or just look up my character in-game, contract link is in my bio. |

If I knew for sure, I still wouldn't tell you. I AM sure that the number of factorials involved in the probability calculation for this would make the formula look like a CAOD post. You're probably aware of our chest-beating titan fleet (and all the threats against it for post-dominion invasions), and you probably know about the way the Lev's shield tank will work post-patch as well. Add in this extra shield property to the newly-enormous shield of a Lev and it's a really incredible improvement, something on the order of 440,000 raw hp ABOVE what Draclira would give. We will get plenty of use out of this if the auction doesn't hit reserve. On top of that, the rarity (it's the only one) adds immense value, anyone would be proud to have this on their lossmail :v If it's not worth it to you, don't bid :) . It's worth it to [someones] so far. |

Put it this way, it's so rare that it doesn't even show up in things you can search for in contracts, it's not listed under variations on a PDS, and has never been found, ever. There's a good chance it was intended to be removed and someone missed a trigger. |

Nope, this is an event item, unique one, same as Luther Verone's Smartie or Tachyon, or Nayon's Web.. It most likely won't drop ever again, and he prolly got it at the end of a multy stage(8-10?) Storyline mission against the Amarr Empire or one of the subfactions(Khanid maybe) given by a Pirate Faction(Bloodraiders?).. Good luck with the sale! |

Can you give us an idea what you are looking for isk-wise so nobody is wasting our time? I'll bid 11b but something tells me you want far more. Nice find tho!  |

Just so we're clear, I am in no way asking for or encouraging the "forum troll squad" you see here.
It's more like "can't stop the goonrush." Dear fellow goons: try to be civilized. Everything's going fine, no one is insulted or anything, Entity's just doing his best to pay the least, and I'm doing the opposite.
This is just how it works. |

But I like trolling Entity, it's so easy. He responds even when he knows it's a troll! Very nice find though  |
