I think this is a perfect place to shine some light on an interesting event, which actually quite closer to Gunpowder Plot than fireworks! It also featured quite spectacular explosions before fireworks introduction, sorta vanilla ‘fireworks’

This incident, known as the "Yulai Massacre," became infamous and led to three major changes in the game’s mechanics:

  1. Any ship repairing an aggressor would now receive an aggressor flag and be attacked.

  2. CONCORD police ships became invulnerable, gaining 99% damage resistance.

  3. CONCORD’s attacks were upgraded to automatically destroy any ship, no matter its defenses.

I was there, looting CONCORD tags that I still keep as a collection, along with several corpses from Zombies Inc.

(Disregard this video, it is a workaround to bypass server error related to JA Instagram API integration, otherwise I can not submit my post)

Cheers Sturmer. Has the Instagram API issue been reported? I can try to be of assistance.

Sturmer's avatar

Yes. And issue is still present, plausible related to v21.0+ API changes in October.

The context is: none. I was there, serving my solitude, while someone was celebrating something - maybe even life itself, as i did then.

I was expecting more submissions to this reward, but what we're lacking in quantity, you've helped to make up for in quality. These are both great!

At the end of our roam today I asked everyone to shoot me with fireworks and I got more than I bargained for. <3

Hey Kane Carnifex, here's how I got the embed working.

I've seen this happen for a few people so I thought sharing this solution might help others.

This got saved with the just about save function.

Nice one Boomer; that GIF was worth the effort Kane Carnifex!

These screenshots are not verified on social media, so they are not really eligible for this bounty, but the challenge reminded me of the pictures I took during the celebration of our corp's first birthday at the beginning of the year so I wanted to share them.

We are called phoenix, so of course I had to skill into a capital for our birthday and with a little imagination, you can actually see the blazing wings!

Alex Sinclair's avatar

LukaZaharin if phoenix was what you were after, you've nailed it. I'm taken back to this scene:

With your permission, we'd love to still include them in any curated content we make from this reward.

Luka Zaharin's avatar

Thanks, of course, I see no problem with the curated content.

I'm not sure how I can admit I have not seen the Lord of the Rings movies, but I can see the similarities in my screenshots now 😁

It might be a bit difficult to recognize like this, but the yellow thing in the middle is actually a Phoenix-class Caldari Dreadnought.

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Awesome. Thank you. I'll withhold judgment on your having not watched Lord of the Rings 😀
