          The hint from Fozzie about the Children of Light is interesting...it's something that is sometimes more likely to happen on SiSi and sometimes more likely to happen on the regular Tranquility server. That makes it sound like an odds-based event it involved...the phenomenon won't always show up. It also steers away from the "carry item X in your ship of type Y" (i.e slaves in an Amarr vessel) idea.

          Could it be linked to the number of players signed on to the game?

          I left my client open and recorded video over two nights just orbiting the gate at 25km in a cloaked heron. I saw a lot of ships come through, a couple of fights, (including a guy get taken out by concord), a large group of industrial ships several times...all to no avail. No space pixies showed up.

            "Could it be linked to the number of players signed on to the game?"

            IIRC SiSi doesn't have regular downtime as Tranquility does, right?
            You may be on to something there with the number of players active.

            I'd actually be kind of annoyed if this turned out to be the case. The triggering of the lights should, IMHO, be triggered by something related to what's in the chronicle, not some weird unmentioned mechanism. My first guess was something about carrying slaves (maybe in an Amarr ship), since that is what the Chronicle describes.

            We'll see, eventually, what the answer is; I hope its a satisfying one.

          BTW guys, the chronicle series that Phyridian mentions which has the Blood Raiders in it *and* describes the events which lead to the Seyllin incident was rendered as an audiobook-style reading by the guy who does the EVE Reader Podcast. The first episode can be found here: evereader.phoibe.org/?p=53

          First time listening to this podcast, big thumbs up. In the lore segment about Blood Raiders, I immediately and passionately demand that CCP change the game to allow Blood Raider rats to scram/web capsules and capture pilots. Once captured, the capsuleer spends 1-3 days being drained and either at the end of this time dies and is reinserted into a new clone, or lives on with a possible permanent loss of skill points. A brutal end that would maybe payoff in better loot upon kills, but realistic to the brutality of the cult being dealt with.

          What do you think?
          Sincerely,
          Slim Andnone - Sadly expired, but hoping for a Cyber Monday deal for more game time.
