TL;DR - keeping a tab on the doings of this new iteration of "triglavian invasion"

[edit: may28th - https://i.imgur.com/H9A9N6O.png why didn't seiradih despawn like Inaya did? nothing's there as far as beacons/edencom ...and here's a new recon system: https://i.imgur.com/bhOSU5e.jpg (raravoss)]
[edit: may29th - https://i.imgur.com/10ikScF.png (raravoss dropped from 0.6 to 0.3!)]
========================================
1. tracking the color of the stars it spawns in for the RNG lulz
https://i.imgur.com/tHTbOYN.png (Inaya; yup. pure rng there; already despawned)
https://i.imgur.com/Tc7TAFF.jpg (Muttokon; didn't pay attention. too busy looting; stellar recon.)
https://i.imgur.com/j4zDfnD.jpg (Iosantin; orange radiant. no jove obs. zzz; stellar recon.)
https://i.imgur.com/8wVSwF6.jpg (Abha; yellow; jove obs present; bulwark)
https://i.imgur.com/CH5Tq2v.jpg (Aldik; orange bright; no jove; already despawned)
----- may28th
https://i.imgur.com/nKFhAzk.png (Raravoss; blue; no jove; stellar recon)
- https://i.imgur.com/O1ohkBz.jpg (iteration on raravoss; may29th)
----- may28th 2100hrs
https://i.imgur.com/pTgz46E.jpg (Keri; blue small; no jove; stellar recon freshly spawned)
- there used to be a stellar accelerator in this system. not anymore
----- may29th 0930hrs
https://i.imgur.com/jzKRfYg.png (Shaggoth; yellow; no jove; beacons)
https://i.imgur.com/43cNIXE.png (Warouh; blue bright; no jove; stellar recon)
nalnifan - NOPE! too far.
----- may29th 2100hrs (1 first liminary; 6 recon; 1 bulwark; 2 fortress)
https://i.imgur.com/WbcTYJL.jpg (Ordat; orange bright; no jove; fresh recon - only one beacon)
Palmon - nope!
Esaeel - nope!
----- may30th 0900hrs (1 first liminality; 4 recon; 2 redoubts; 3 fortress)
keri & warouh went redoubt, with shaggoth going from bulwark to fortress
https://youtu.be/bnpMNPxRnd4 - Jin'Taan on raravoss
----- June1st 2100hrs (1 second liminality; 5 recon; 1 redoubt, 1 bulwark; 6 fortresses)
was away a couple days. fortresses: seiradih, shaggoth, warouh, keri, abha, esaeel
bulwark: palmon; redoubt: sadye; recon: faswiba, dabrid, fasse, haimeh, alamel.
----- June2nd 1600hrs (1 second; 2 recon; 4 redoubts; 8 fortresses - total 15)
so it seems like the fortresses that despawned in the early days must have been a bug they 'fixed'...although i would enjoy it more if they were able to disable that popup when entering a fortress (that's a bit silly, and fools people into thinking there's content initially until they go "oh right, ccp")
----- June3rd 0000hrs (1 second; 2 recon; 2 redoubts; 8 fortresses - total 13??)
fortress: seiradih, shaggoth, keri, warouh, sadye, palmon, abha, esaeel
redoubt: faswiba, fasse
recon: promised land; haimeh
2nd: ravaross
despawned?? alamel & dabrid
---- June4th 0700hrs (1 final, 5 recon, 1 redoubt, 10 fortresses - total 17)
fortress: seiradih, shaggoth, faswiba, keri, warouh, sadye, fasse, palmon, abha, esaeel
redoubt: haimeh
recon: vale, arzanni, samanuni, vivanier, (and promised land)
final lim: ravaross
https://i.imgur.com/nlVFemF.png
---- June4th 2100hrs
fortress: (no change)
bulwark: Haimeh
redoubt: Arzanni
recon: dabrid, vale, samanuni, vivanier
---- June6th 0500hrs

==========================================
2. seeing what can be gained from such an event
a) rewards for pve [nothing spawning]
b) rewards for mining [everything's been strip mined]
3. what's this group of retaliating entities off in a SS for?
[edit: 06:00 - looks like it was just a bunch of npc amarr ships hanging out with nothing around them]

basically me musing about the silliness of the non-event that pretty much nerfed EC farming.

my gut feeling is that the higher ups at CCP think "noone's going to fact check us, and who cares if a rare few do...by that time our BS fluff event will be seen for the useless piece of crap we spent 0 time coding except for that FNG programmer we delegated and then disappeared on" (and then the marketing dept, care of 'scope', were told to put lipstick on a pig)

CONCLUSION: most folks are figuring this is the emerging conduits & invasions merely merged together to copy incursions, nerfing EC farming & saving n00b miners across the eve universe from insult to injury. it feels...unimaginative, and totally random in the spawning of where the single invasion system is placed...there's no growth to adjacent systems. Pretty much alot of noise signifying nothing. Just another incursion now with the usual incursion-like runners migrating about.
